That was me :rasp: My friend actually told me about this thread tonight, as he bought the car off me :( Youngish? Im not that old ;)

Excellent read :approve:

I literally just commented on this on RMS :p Nice example mate

I wondered that also. Based on the many reviews I read here, I get mine fitted on Saturday. Seems they lower approx 1 inch.

Exactly. The previous owner bought and refurbished a spare turini though. Not a bad complaint!

Thanks for the comments. Took a while finding one in such excellent condition which hadn't been molested . Yep, no headlamp washers in these either. If you don't like luxuries of any kind, they are fun cars ;)

Hi everyone, registered here a couple of years back when I had my first 172 cup. I stupidly sold up and bought an EP3. But I fixed that on monday night when I picked up this :) 45K miles, 2003, K-Tec Stainless Steel exhaust I Dont possess a real camera, so my iPhone had to do :(

dude, what a missus :approve: I picked my new bird up after my birthday, have to wait till next August :(

Didnt know that could be done. May keep that in mind for next October :o

Brakes, thats where the fun is come MOT time :(

Well took it through this morning, the manager didnt want to know and thought my head was up my arse. Thankfully the guy testing the guy seemed to know all about the cups and bounced on the brakes to get me an acceptable reading, job done :)

With me doing this in NI with the DVA Im not sure if they will accept the VOSA? My best bet is to ring head office and pick a fight :(

If all this is such an issue is there not some sort of way of just tightening the rear brakes? Im not very mechanically minded btw lol

25 sounds abit low lol. It's sounding like I will have to argue the bit out tomorrow with them :(

Tell me about it, it's a bundle of shite lol. I just have no idea how I will find this extra 5% brakig effort, I changed discs and pads last month. The bloke at the MOT centre said he understands this part isn't on my motor, buts it's still braking too weak, so do I just argue the point home...
