CurtisRider Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Lol at not modifying this one I'm back in Suffolk soon dude, need to hook up :kiss: Had to order a new clutch for the S3, current one started slipping since the new turbo back exhaust went on. After lots of reading, I went with a Helix organic system. Was tempted by a single mass flywheel system, but apparently on the 6 speed VAG boxes, the rattle, which would drive me nuts. Another £800 down the drain...but it does now mean I'm ready for "Stage 2+", which is 360-380bhp and 360-400ftlbs. Should be a bit different to what it has now!

Pashley26 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 It was straight at least It wasn't though. The roof was fitted slightly wonky, so it wasn't in the middle of the roof! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Not really, nothing that I wasn't expecting when I bought it. Shopping list is - Rear beam (hopefully pick one up with callipers and the shocks on) O/S leaf spring for the back Pair of rear shocks That's all it needs mechanically, the rest is bodywork. For what I've paid it's a steal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 The bow tie was my bargaining tool. It's a shame the whole vans full of dog hair and stinks, it's like Dan spent a night in KFC car park in it.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It even has 3/4 tank of diesel! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Need some new tyres, currently running Dunlop Sport Maxx RTs that were on the car when I bought it, so gents any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Prawn and Kennard both seem to be getting on well with Kumho KU36s mate. Probably worth a look Related news - where did you get your Kumhos, Ash? Can find them reasonably priced in 17" (which is tempting for track) but would be nice to keep a set on the standard rims really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I'm running ku39's on the mr2 and they've been really good so far, down to the last 2mm ish so I take it easy in the wet but I can't get them to slip in the dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 They look pretty good from reviews and seem pretty keenly priced; although sound a little scary in the wet/cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I've said it before, but Goodyear EfficientGrips are awesome tyres. 15" cost me less than £200 fitted for all four, delivered from Tyre Leader. They're A rated for wet, C rated for fuel economy - which is pretty rare for A rated wet, they normally wear mega quick and have bad fuel economy. They're not that popular or scene, but I'm happy with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 They were around £75 a corner from memory. Weren't hugely more in 18" but obviously if Ash did his homework before buying and found the cheapest supplier it'll save me a little time and effort duplicating his efforts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
