Cheers :)

Discovered what the wheels are today, they are actually FOX RS-5's front are 17x7.5 ET35 with 215/40 rubber. The rears are 17x7.5 ET35 235/40. Probably the reason I've spun it 3 times on track since I've had it, only spun my rev2 n/a once at my 1st ever track day and never span the turbo.

I must admit I really like the look of the car, however I don't think the ride or handlings anywhere up to the standard of my old car that had H&R coilovers and TOM'S 16"..

Fitting new pads the struts are rusting away so at some point they'll need changing, next MOT's not until November..

Hello mate - didnt realise you were back in a 2!

Give me a shout if you are going to WIM as I would like to get my chassis set up properly.
I have done a bucket load of work on my handling - GAB coilovers, Polybushes all round, TRD front ARB, TRD strut braces front and back, Toms underbody brace and of course your old C7R's - so now would be a good time to get it set up!

Just ordered one of these :-

Carbon cold air feed, should be ideal for the MR2's hot but wet engine bay.
