I'm looking at a 192 thanks to my OEM blowing last week. Just looking for a good fitter in South Yorkshire, as the place I used to use has really gone downhill.

Sad face, exhaust has blown behind the cat, so it's time for a Scorpion 192 or similar. Car is currently parked up at work in Sheffield, so can anyone recommend a good exhaust spot in South Yorkshire, or within a reasonable drive at least? Ideally somewhere that stocks or would fit a Scorpion...

There'll be less come winter ; ) The public would like to see before and after graphs...

I've had a test in the non cup 200 and it does seem nicer than the 197, but still not quite up to the Trophy on overall oomph. It is an awful lot of extra ££ though..

Bugger me, I'd buy it for razzing and spares for Ruby at that $

Why? I've got a three layer lumbar fusion with 3 cages plus the associated Meccano and find the Recaros in my Trophy comfier than pretty much any seats (outside of totally immobilising Sparcos.) So yes, Recaros ftw.

Can always get the Ronseal out to enhance the stiffness...

Yay, you live over a hundred miles from me - colour me slightly less likely to be taken out by you.

Colour?

Acquire a cheap/shady quicktime pro code off ebay and you're good.

Ta - I'm a chimp when it comes to anything like this. Ironically I used to do all manner of stuff with the old GTI and Escort, but I've just got well out of practise. Doesn't look to be much room 80

Couldn't find anything on search, is there a f**kwit's guide to changing bulbs, preferably with pics? I'll be looking at dipped and main beams (no point upgrading side lights) Phillips foolish bright, obviously. Hands aren't those of a three year old, will it be struggle? <edit> Trophy btw...

Last time my reception went wrong, I discovered some fucker had robbed my aerial.

My Trophy didn't have a multichanger ; )

The missus says it'll T-cut out. <edit> Does suck when stuff like that happens. My missus had her mint Mk II 16v GTI pinched while we were on hols a couple of years back. Sucks to lose a nice car through no fault of your own.
