Agreed. Bin those crappy tyres, get some decent ones on there, then get a geo by someone who can understand and interpret what you want the car to do. Little bit of toe out at the front and less camber at the rear should help nicely.

You know, I don't think I ever have, maybe I'll give it a whirl

So you might as well do decay then, and save the weight. It takes 20mins to swap the cats over, or just get the garage to do it for a few quid.

Nearly! I've unlocked it, but I've not gone there yet.

Im only on 12%!

I think the point is that beta software shouldn't be put into the hands of ordinary folks on public roads. This is why the real big guns who actually have a f*cking clue about cars and stuff like this are doing masses and masses of testing away from the public roads, where people can't get killed because the person who programmed the computer is a 'tard. Look at the last video Stu posted: That guy had his hands right by the wheel, so as close as you pretty much get, and still the car couldn't figure out that it should turn up the ramp, causing him to twitch as he grabbed back control. Even if he'd been holding the wheel, he'd still have been waiting for the force of the motors to take over. It's a really, really silly idea dreamt up in the name of publicity because the rest of his car making plans are falling apart.

Ah, didn't realise that, my bad. In that case, if you've already removed everything you can with the DA (what compound did you use btw?), then no harm covering what remains with a glaze. Any of those you mentioned will do, although I'd probably go with the White Diamond if you pushed me.

But don't worry, because Elon Musk is God and nothing he does can ever be wrong.

I wouldn't use any of them, tbh. If you have a DA, then use a proper polish on it to actually remove the defects rather than just cover them up. Blackhole is good, but full of fillers (which is okay, that's the idea of it!) which will only come out with time. It's a great product to use by hand, but with machine I always prefer to use something that will make life easier for you in the future for the same effort.

HFCs I personally wouldn't bother with. Decat and swap for proper cats come MOT time would be my preference, if you wanted to go that route. Plenum spacer definitely, as well as the remap, but just be sure you've finished with breathing mods before the remap else you'll have to have another one once you've changed something else.

Sod. That. *awaits first Yank owners suing because the car crashed itself*

We've already discussed those as looking retarded.

Just goes to show that people are idiots. There are some things that replicas are absolutely fine for: Body kits, spoilers, gear knobs. Then there are some things you really, really don't want to be mucking around with: Brakes, seat belts, seats themselves. It's like buying a fake gun, and not being sure which end the bullet is going to come out of.

I'm not kamikaze Okay, well maybe a little bit

I take every post that says they hate me as a sign I'm doing something right

Just did my old Zed, man that's being abused! Sept 11: 37K miles, Pass July 12: 56K miles, Fail, both front tyres cord exposed! Oct 13: 78K miles, Pass, both front tyres worn to legal limit Oct 14: 84K miles, Pass, brakes all round worn, rear tyres at legal limit My poor ol' Slagathor

What I think it's worth and what it'll sell for are different things. It's already past the former...! Could go as high as £8K.

You'd be better off running the 595s and getting used to them.

They'll be fine, should be better than the 888s and they're no problem at all. It's standing water that stops these tyres working really, so as long as there's no puddles you'll be immense on them

Good cars will, crap ones won't. Mk4 Supras are already stupid money, as are R34 GT-Rs. On the flip side, mk2 MR2 Turbos are peanuts and frightfully quick, and let's not even look at how cheap the billionty Inprezas are... The 90's also had an awful lot of dross, let's not forget that!

A wise decision.

So you got all your parts then...?

I wouldn't buy that one either, mileage is too low for my taste. Less than 2500 miles a year is asking for gremlins.

My first MR2 is no longer MOT'd My first car is still alive though! Focus 1.8 diesel, 160K miles as of March this year!
