[QUOTE="MRMIC2, post: 3786525, member: 2637"] Sorry to hear about your accident Khoo. Driving an MR2 is easy..just keep it cool and drive slowly when driving in the rain. Things you can do to help improve the cars stability (on dry) : 1)change bottom engine subframe to 245 version (93 spec and above) - it has longer toe control arms 2)change the anti-roll bars - stock anti -roll bars are soft and induce a lot of snap oversteer when pushed to the limit. 3)very important - invest in good tyres especially for the rear. 4)get some strut tower bars. Provides more rigidity to your body. Another thing to remember - you're not driving an FF car (Front wheel drive, Front Engine Placement) ! It's an MR, meaning more weight behind and less forward. Therefore it requires : 1)earlier braking before corner (Slow in, moderate out), braking hard in corner is a BIG no-no! (many people learn this the hard way) 2)different driving/cornering lines ie. entry and exit 3)No hard-acceleration and deceleration in the corners (learn heel & toe) 4)lightning reflexes (if all else fails...hahaha) Hope this tip helps for the newcomers to MR/FR cars. :) For item no.4 , should something go wrong, pls look for TOMS for parts-sourcing. :) [/QUOTE]

Need some advise on the engine oil
Hi all Sifus!
I just want to know which engine oil that you guys recommend for the 4G63T (evo2/evo3). Is 20/50W good enough? (I mean to reduce the 4G teppet sound.)
I apologize if this has been mentioned previously...
