Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] will these wheels fit??? 18" 40 profile tyers!!! need answers!!

I have 215/35/18's on the front of mine and they rubbed the coilovers so i had to buy some 10mm hubcentric spacers from wheels uk.

Re: AWESOME AWESOME MR2 mk2 Videos!

Thats what i was thinking when i watched it!

In the write up it says it races in the 2litre turbo and under class so it races with imprezas and evos etc..

Loving the look of it aswell, really nice!

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Can you mix oil???

Id say no! I done this very same thing a year and a half ago in my rev1 turbo. I replaced the oil but not the filter as it was relitively new. The oil in the filter was a different grade to the oil i put in the car, the sump pick up blocked with the mixture of oils and starved the motor of oil. Then...
