I flashed a grey Leon on my way into the circuit on Thursday night, hoping it was you, haha! Got on well today, qualified 2nd and won my class in both races which were on Motors TV, pretty pleased with that! We had our dyno session too, 98bhp at the hubs and still managed to lap the 300 layout in 2:25.1 (over 5s faster than last time I was there), you need to get a wiggle on George The Nankangs are indeed pretty decent, they come on pretty quick too, but they do go off in a similar manner if you push them hard.

Yep, search Sprint and Trackday on Facebook

There might be! Unless it's a road car only evening? Will be getting there late Thursday night for testing on Friday...

750MC Stock Hatch at Snetterton, I'll try and find it... Ta daaaa

Grind.

That has seriously been doing the rounds this morning, haha. We're at Snetterton this weekend (which has massive long straights) so I can see a game of mirror-folding coming on!

Spent too much on cleaning products

It'll all be on the site soon.

Looks tidy, if it is as rustless as the listing makes out that's a good price. Have a look on mx5nutz forum, there's a '£20 and under mods' thread.

Nah don't use grease, just a bit of dot fluid is all you need. If you think the problem is in the lever, sort that first or you're just wasting your time

Pretty sure that just a production frame...?

Perfectly fixable, would just need new seals.

Is it possiblev the previous owner has f**ked the brake in some way? Such as bleeding it with mineral oil? I've never seen a sticky Hope lever other than for that reason, even ones that are closing in on 20 years old!

Hey Clio gay

That's the alternator not working usually. Start the car and test the voltage across the battery. Should be about 1.5-2v higher than when the car isn't running. Would explain why the previous battery died too...

Danny's had two, still got both of them. PS: Cleep 2s arrived today...

Jitsie.

Jitsie or Echo.

Also known as CliqueForum™ Could never get on with that place.

It's heat treated, don't worry...

Haha, no I don't mind the looks of the Mk2, it's just generally regarded as 'the worst one'. The stereo should be better on it though, for sure. Buy on condition, not age or mileage! Doesn't sound toooo bad providing the shell is in good nick...

In that case I assume a Mk3, cos I won't let you buy a Mk2

Eunos is a much better buy than a UK car, btw. ~25bhp more, LSD (which may or may not lock up any more, haha), less chance of being a rust-bucket as it's the import. Might be trickier for insurance though...

Not really - the 1.8 has a longer diff and is closing in on 60kg heavier, so even though it has ~20bhp more it's not much quicker until you get to high speeds. The difference in 0-60 times is about half a second, for example (I think). Basically, Andrew is right

1.8 if you want to trundle around (has more mid-range), 1.6 if you want to thrash it (likes t obe revved). Buy on condition of the chassis, everything is cheap and easy to replace.
