I have just bought a 2006 MR2 50,000miles,
I it will need a bit of work done to it. first off are the brakes, and tires, service etc.
As for brakes I am intending to use the car on occasional track days, the car needs a new set of pads and discs.
My problem arises which to get, what brand do you guys recommend ? I was thinking of EBC but heard mixed storys about them, Tarox is too expensive for a student like me, was thinking of something like stop tech?
Secondly the car is fitted with some "censored" winter tires at front and dunlop sp sport 01 all seasons at back, fitted to stock alloys. Do you recommend any tire model that has the same dimensions front and rear. because I am having a hard time finding one tire model that fits front and rear.
Thirdly does the soft top needs to be cleaned and protected? asking because my dads S2000
softop is different material and every 2 or 3 months we would clean and protect it with some AutoGlym kit. In Toyota they told me to use 10w40 oil... bit strange for car which has 50,000miles. What do you recommend... thinking of getting Motul x-clean 5w30.
and lastly... In the owners manual it says to use Dot3 brake fluid...is it ok to use Dot 4?
This weekend I am having a look at the precats... I will probably gut them but do I need a new manifold gasket when doing this job?
I tried to close the top down and put it back up... it seems to be that the material is a bit stiff, and tips on how to get it closing/opening like a champ with one hand?
Thanks !
