    New front track wheels and tyres, bonus points if you know what tyres they are... Thanks to @Beany for helping out with the wheels! Top man! :thumb:

    MS 200 fun road and track car - and other car stuff!

    Update time! Since the big service my mpg has gradually been creeping up, currently at 29.6, wouldn't it be nice to break 30!! That seems rather unlikely now as I've booked Blyton on the 17th, will be in Clio and going to share the day with my Dad. He worked in Motorsport and then built race...

    Reyland floating 330 discs?

    I appreciate it more if people say they want them for looks! Damn I think they look great! :grinning: Just trying to help people to understand there's a bit of a misconception about big, multi-pot brakes always being necessary. Different car, less weight but you may appreciate the...

    Reyland floating 330 discs?

    I'd be utterly amazed if you couldn't lock the tyres with standard brakes in good working order and performance pads. If that is the case you must have almighty tyres. Mine will easily lock AD08Rs without much pedal pressure. They may have better feel through an improved caliper, but just...

    Reyland floating 330 discs?

    It amazes me that folk see the need to increase the size of the brakes further. They are simply uneccessary and will make no difference over the standard system with good pads with anything but very wide, very sticky tyres. If your brakes work well and and you've got good pads, then your tyres...

    Haha! Didn't want to whore the MX5 too much on the Clio platform! It's a freakin' weapon! So awesome having that level of power without the weight that normally accompanies it! And best of all it's useable!! :grin:

    Forgive me, Clio vids are overdue and this is not a Clio, but it is my pride and joy and it's nearly two years since I drove it in anger so I'm a bit excited!!... IT WORKS!

    Ebay exhaust

    Manifold is usually more important than the exhaust for power, the Toto manifold seem very decent.

    I'm thinking along these lines too, just needs someone to take a punt first so it's no longer an unknown...

    Help needed choosing lowering springs.

    Thanks mate, was hoping to hear the Eibachs were the best of both worlds! I'll maybe look at damping first then.

    Help needed choosing lowering springs.

    Ah brilliant, could you compare the ride quality and handling between standard Cup and Eibach/Cup combo?

    Hoping you'd say 200 Cup... you're a hero for putting a set on the Mondeo though! :grinning:
