mikey4410 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 229mm is for the n/a sportif dude.u would have to measure ure discs for correct size. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 ok so the rainsport 3 tyres are fitted now,havent done anything other than drive to work and back so cant say if i like them yet i replaced my discs before work this morning as they were very dangerously cracked all the way round near enough. so anyway the pagids are on now and they are fantastic to be honest,really stop well. glad its safe to drive now also.

mikey4410 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 also with regards to the sidewall strength on the rainsport3s compared to toyo t1rs...... if i were to say t1rs sidewalls are 5/10 stiff , the rainsports are 3/10 stiff. not a HUGE difference if i am honest.(had a feel of them before they were fitted and whilst the t1rs were of) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikey4410 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 used the rainsport3s on some roundabouts and long hard corners and they are absolutley awesome.really impressed with them.rains yet to fall since I had tyres fitted so cant say on that situation yet.

Amjad Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Glad you like them man! Trying to contain my enthusiasm for cornering until I get a baffled sump fitted They are awesome in the wet too though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) update....... decided to renew the ignition system parts purchased new dizzy cap and rotor arm-----original proper parts also a set of four NGK BKR6EP-11. these plugs are oem plugs so thought it best to use them. but they were £49 i got some parts from a certain somebody who i cant name and you will never find out either so anyway heres the state of my removed dizzy cap and rotor what u guys think ??????????? LOOKS A LITTLE KNACKERED ? ALL FOUR POINTS INSIDE THE CAP LOOKED LIKE THIS A BIT MISSING FROM THE ARM ?? Edited April 19, 2014 by mikey4410 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Not too bad, heres one from my old glanza lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 little update with regards to the new parts the car has totally transformed and now feels a hell of alot more responsive,pulls better,starts easier(although never had any issues)and generally feels sooo much better for sure. would highly recommend people do it as it does make a huge difference i know theres a few traders on here that do ignition system overhaul packages and they are pretty resonably priced when u tot up all the parts prices etc,also fitted up a new driverside seat belt from aamir as mine was frayed real bad. all about the little touches !!!! lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Wow going by the state of those pics I should get mine done before track in Summer! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 now had a chance to test these the rain that they are supposed to be superior in....... they are unreal and dont disappoint, seriously an amazing all round tyre !!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
