As you've found at the rear, it does settle in with use. To speed this up, you can sand the paint off the back of the pads.

Situated between an adult bookstore and a crematorium, nonetheless... Priceless

Haha, yeah it is a lot lighter than expected. Technically it still has an MOT, so if I put the lights and horn back on... How're you getting on with the Duratec dude?

BwwwaaaAAAARRRPPP! Gotta love a set of ITBs. Been beavering away on Mr Poo over the last few weeks... It's all gone a bit Mad Max

Have a few more, but here's one to start...

Fallen into the classic trap... he just needs more seat time In other news, I've ben getting busy with the welder again.

So good. Every now and again he does something and I think I'm watching Flipp!

Plastic tyre lever works well for this...

Clever technique, I like it!

I accidentally another MR2. £650 though!!! Full history, massive folder of receipts, all 4 tyres the same and nearly new, recent wheel refurbs, almost perfect roof, and even the aerial works...! So cheap I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to munterise Mr Poo and resign him to track duties.

Yeah, should be fine for a while I reckon.

MSA sprinting / hillclimbing is a bit more accessible, depending on which car you run, but there is still a significant financial outlay to become compliant, and the scrutineers are often jumped up old men trying to prove a point. Track time is also minimal, perhaps 4 or 5 runs (one or two laps max) all day. Javelin Track Days run a more relaxed sprint series, which allows more normal cars (all you need is some yellow tape on your earth lead, a helmet, and crack on), and you'll get more runs. I massively prefer this to MSA events Overall sprinting is cheaper than racing, but worse value track time : £ ratio. Racing is big money no matter what anyone tells you, especially if you want to be competitive. The front runners will either have years of experience or pretty much unlimited budgets, or both. In general though, having any car near the edge of grip is where the fun is, no matter what speed you're doing or how much you've spent. If you're 6" from another lunatic at the time, even better. It just gets even more expensive when something goes wrong, and that is multiplied the faster you are going. The 24hr C1 race I did at Spa last year (I say did... the team managed to get disqualified before I'd done my stint... but at least I got a test day and quali in) was still one of the most memorable racing experiences I've had, and sharing (double driving) a bog standard totally f**ked MX5 with a mate at a sprint event was the most fun sprint. Anyone thinking about racing or sprinting is welcome to give me a call at Tarty any time, I have all the t shirts and they all have warts!

Amazing stuff Flipp!

1:38 and 1:58 reminded me of Elastomania.

Thanks dude. Like Liam Neeson, I will find you. And I will message you. Edit: I found you. And I messaged you.

Go for another Shimano.

My roof? You wanna see the other side... I think I could fit my head in the hole. I've put a lot of hours in tweaking it this last week and it now drives very well. Have quite a lot of scuttle shake though so wondering if @dann2707 will be kind enough to sell me a set of door bushings If anyone is interested in a shit example of a rather good 18 year old Japanese car, then have a look here: https://www.mr2roc.org/forum/index.php?topic=69843.0

Back in the hairdresser game. Its an absolute bag of shit, but somehow drives pretty well despite the alignment clearly having been done by Stevie Wonder, and been in a front end shunt.

Possibly a sample frame, or DIY cutout as you said. I don't remember the Zoots having one?

Same. Real shame.

Thanks dude, appreciate it! Is there a forum or Facebook group you use that's pretty active? Would much rather buy from an enthusiast than off Autotrader etc. Yeah, once you drive RWD you kinda realise that having two of the wheels doing everything and two of them doing nothing makes little sense for a performance car The weight distribution is pretty much the same as my Westfield (Westy 56% rear, MR2 58%) and having a proper diff as standard I am sure it'll be a lot of fun.

Weirdly I've just started looking at MR2s as well, and was going to ask about yours Dan - cheers for the link to Cliosport!

And a completely different BB yoke arrangement - 2 straight plates rather than the curved lump of the T-Rex

Lovely stuff! Glad to see you out again Will
