Tyres for OZ Racing Rims

2006-04-27T11:57:38Z

Chris:

Trying to compile a list of tyre options for the OZ Racing rims which are a popular choice as an after market upgrade for Rover K series engined S2 Elises and OEM on the Elise S2 135R.

The OZ Rim sizes are: -
{| border="1"
|-
| style="background:silver" | Front
| 6.5J x 16" ET31
|-
| style="background:silver" | Rear
| 7.5J x 17" ET18
|}

The prices listed are only approximations for a complete (4tyre) set!

The ideal sizes for the rims are 195x50 R16 (front) and 225x45 R17 (rear). However not all manufacturers make a 50 ratio front in 195 R16 so some people use a 45 ratio front. For this reason the tyres are split into two sections, 45 ratio and 50 ratio. The consequences of running 45 front have been descussed here [link to seloc thread].

Oil and filter change

2006-03-14T13:33:18Z

Chris:

{{timetools infobox |
time = 20-30 mins|
tools = 14mm spanner, filter removal tool, new oil drain plug sealing washer|
}}

Frequent oil and filter changes are the most important preventative maintenance procedures which can be undertaken by the owner. As engine oil ages, it becomes diluted and contaminated, which leads to premature engine wear.

==Procedure==
# Warm engine up
# Raise rear of car.<sup>1</sup>
# [[undertray|Remove middle undertray]].
# Remove the oil filler cap from the cylinder head cover.
# Remove sump plug and drain oil into something that will hold 5 litres of fluid.
# Replace sump plug washer and screw in sump plug. Tighten to 25 Nm.
# Remove oil filter.
# Smear some oil on the seal of new filter and screw on.
# Pour 4 litres of whatever oil in the engine.
# Start engine, don't rev and observe oil light going out. Have a nose underneath for a possible leak at the filter. Tighten if necessary.
# Turn engine off.
# [[undertray|Replace undertray]]
# Lower car, leave for a short while and check dipstsick.

==Notes==

<sup>1</sup>Access to the underside of the vehicle will be greatly improved if it can be raised on a lift, driven onto ramps, or jacked up and supported on axle stands. I reverse mine onto ramps, but if you've got some blocks of wood that are approx 3 inches + tall then you can squeeze underneath without too much bother.
