I paid £15 for 20 minutes yesterday. But they actually gave me 2 lots of 15 minutes. To be honest 10 minute stints would have been better for me. I had to keep slowing down to give myself a break. Wrist and back were killing me.
Managed a 26.9 on my second run, which I thought was pretty good...
I found the Rainsport 2 tyres lost a lot of grip in wet and dry weather when the tread got to around 2.5-3mm, switched the rears and fronts around (rears were on around 5mm, and instantly it was improved.
Now been running the Rainsport 3's for about a month, wet weather grip is definitely...
Upgrading the mounts will however create more vibration in the car.
I tried the Evol dog bone mount, ended up taking it off and selling it on after a couple of week, because the added vibration was horrible. It was brilliant at full throttle and did improve gear changes, but for a road car...
Engine dynamics have a list of different engine builds that they do. Might be worth looking on there, even if its just for an idea of cost. They can do the rebuild or just sell you the parts so that you can do it yourself.
I know it says not to message about selling parts off the car, but I'd be interested in the wheels with a part ex for my old 182 cup pack wheels with RS2 tyres, with a decent amount of money your way. I'm only in notts, so can collect.
Full suspension refresh I'd guess would be the best place to start. ie:

No point working around old worn parts.
I got 350 miles out of a tank recently (36.71mpg), which was about £55 to fill @ 1.269p per litre. Mixed driving, but taking it pretty easy. Normally get anything between 280 and 320 out of £50 at the current rate of about 126.9p per litre.
I had a company Insignia diesel SRi (160bhp version)...
I do a similar commute, roughly 16 miles to work with little traffic, but go through the town Centre to the gym most evening after work. I work 9 till 5 so worst of the traffic and I can still manage 30 - 35 mpg calculated on a full tank, depending on how heavy my foot is
I've had the on board...
Engine dynamics do a turbo conversion kit in 230 bhp or 280 bhp, if you want a simple kit. I believe they fit it too.
Don't know how good they are though
I've just bought a set of RS3's for my new 15's. Mainly for the price (£150 delivered for 4), I'm currently thinking that these will be my winter wheels and i'll then get a nice set of wheels for summer use with something more expensive rubber. But undecided yet.
Been running RS2's for the last...
I've just upgraded our Virgin media package which i thought was a pretty good deal. I have to have Fibre Broadband too so options are a little slim. Pay £50 for 6 months then it goes up to £55 for 6 months. 30mb internet (soon to be 50mb) unlimited, XL tv package with Free BT sports HD, and...
Got 320 miles from full to fuel light coming on, then 340 miles from full to filling up again. £55.50 to fill up at 127p/l, so 35.37 mpg. Computer was actually reading 35.5 mpg, so fairly accurate.
Mostly commuting to and from work mixture of built up areas and country roads, and i drive into...
