  1. No mate its killing me, my insurance premium has gone up so can't really keep 2 cars for now. I've tried running it for my commute from Leicester to Cov and its brilliant on fuel can average around 34mpg (taller 5th from stealth) but its just a bit too responsive, you can't get to work slowly :norty: thought i could cope even added bluetooth, ipod link etc what a waste !!!

     

    Will still be on the Forum trying to retain memories :pale:


  2. Hi Guys, my pride and joy is now up for sale :( some git stole my main car and i didn't get enough insurance money to replace it. Most of my planned mods are done except the paint job. It in the cars for sale section for £4995

     

    Thanks for your comments


  3. Hi Guys

     

    Thanks for all your comments, I've had the 5th gear cog made taller from stealth and the difference is very noticable. I can now get a good 250-260 miles through hard driving including alot of motoryway miles. Plus while it was at stealth got both rear wheel bearings done and a new HID kit, not cheap at £160 but now I can see where I'm going after 6pm :cheers:


  4. Hi Guys, finally found some pics of my car when it was standard---by the way this lasted about a week haha!!

    Power at the mo is only at around 195bhp and according to Vince this is due to a corroded crank sensor loom which is going to be replaced tomorrow

    16 inch alloy, nothing too big my severe body weight will make them scuff

     

    anyways this is the standard car: let me know what you think


  5. I'm going to honest and say I don't have aclue what suspension to go for yet :scratch: i'm going to use the car for about 25 motorway miles and 20 round town a day so i need a balanced ride. Never really got too involved with after market suspension so i will basically buy and fit what you tell me too!!! plus i think i'm going to stick to 16" rims of some sort.

    I've also noticed that although my car has standard discs and pads in very good condition it takes some going to stop the damn thing when your in full chatter, is this normal ?? if it is what sort of calipers and discs do you guys recommend?

     

    sorry lots of questions, my apologies.... promise i'll show you some pics of the work once i've done it though!!! :D
