Farkin' terrible. Everything is just silly.

That's basically where my love affair ended, the blokes on Toymods pretty much said considering I have no idea about cars it's the last 'modern retro' that they'd recommend.

It's good because it doesn't burn up, Our engines love to eat oil.

It will be fine in your car Adam, Yours doesn't have AVCS.

My car is a boss I could probably run it without a radiator and it would soldier on!


I seriousness though, I'm worried I will dislodge dirty shit, and my engine!

I'm in the middle of replacing most of the rear suspension stuff/subframe on a mates SW20 after he slid into a curb. It's pretty simple but I can't really speak for the engine bay, except the rear sway bar is a pain in the arse compared to my car

@Jase: That's exactly what I said.... ... kind of....

[Adam]

Hai Jase how's things?

I just do what people more knowledgeable than I am advise me to do...Ben say NO delvac...I no delvac.

[Adam]

Should have consulted Ben.

Oh well. I've got it now!

Did he reconend magnatec for you?

MR2 drivers are good at that

Suspension stuff is easy on them. Dat enjin though.

Is it true that they enjoy switching the tail for the front more often than one would anticipate?

[Hypnotic]

Not good at all Cam, glad it didn't get any worse.

I other news, I'm now a skin head. Like a ZERO, Feels good man.

It's good huh!

I've gone the opposite, my hair is tucking the collar now. Not happy.

AW11's...must have been a phase of the moon...nearly bought one last year (phew)...
Ben and Scott recommended HPR10 as an easy to source, quality 10w-50 full sythetic...
Doug (dtrally - own STechnic is Perth) recommended either of the Castrol Titanium full synth 10w50 or 10w60.

LOL, Nik.

Most MR2 drivers are pole smokers anyway

Having a bald head is so much win. Except I look like a axe murderer. 6'2, Built like a gorilla with a shaved head.

Doug knows things about cars.

Haha that was also my understanding, but this guy is the most sensible car guy I know. Apparently he was just driving normally and it slid out in the rain round a roundabout. He's not one for dicking around, especially with his girlfriend in the car.

That's exactly what I mean, unpredictable little vehicle! With the inevitability that I'd be driving on gravel nearly every day, the idea was laid to rest for self preservation reasoning.

Elvis' drool is touching the ground...Mmmm, Beef Madras.

I don't hate the newer model either.

[nickknack]

Techworkz recommend Valvoline. Much of a muchness really, I used magnatec last oil change.

I don't hate the newer model either.

Too slow!

[skillionaire]

I'm a pretty slow guy.

Surely shops will be recommending a brand from which they have a good relationship with the rep?
