Its good, but its constrained by its VAGness imho. As such, whilst a great everyday proposition, it would ultimately never be a keen drivers choice as a single mode of transport imho. For me, it just isnt able to switch between dull/fun in the same way a BMW does.

Hmmm, more things to consider then!! Even if i can eek it up to 35mpg that'll make me feel a whole lot warmer inside ;) Its getting serviced on Thursday as well, the 26k mile one, £200 all in, not too bad i dont think :) and thats London prices ...

I've got Maxtorq discs front & rear, along with Feroo DS2500 pads on the front/Mintex 1144's on the rear. The Maxtorq's from Kam Racing are very good value for money!! Along with the braided lines, larger gti6 master cyclinder & decent fluid, it should stop fairly well now lol.

No i do like it, so you missed my point lol. Its a great day to day car if you have something else to give your kicks. So for me its perfect, as i have another car ... The only thing that makes me question its existence is it cr4p fuel consumption, its currently worse than an M3 for the type...

How many do we need to get this booked properly?

Well, heres the one month update ... Soo, after doing 3k miles in the past month, i've spent a fair bit of time in the Golf lately, so what do i think now? Well, my opinions havent changed that much tbh, even after fitting new tyres it still understeers like a pig in anything resembling...

Oh, you mean the Supersprint 'track day' exhaust that fails to meet most UK racetracks db limits .... great lol :rolleyes: It does sound nice mind you, bit like the old Pugsport's i had on my 106 gti's! Although the straight through centre pipe makes swopping the cat over a bit of a pain as...

Booo, gay!! Its pre-booked a week in advance now im afraid :dapprove: its quite late though, so cant you make it at all?

Of course! You can follow me & collect all the bits of the saxo that will undoubtedly fall off ...

Reminder for tomorrow. 9-10pm Spelthorne Leisure Centre, Staines.

Yes. For me, a car with poor steering is simply a poor car overall. No matter how good the rest of it is. The steering is the sole reason why id didnt buy a CTR back in '05. M3's are epic on track btw :D bit of a challenge in the wet though lol

Might be of use. Both out of an Accord Type R so have the extendable bottom section: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Honda-Accord-Type-R-Recaro-front-seats_W0QQitemZ370301626868QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item5637b269f4...

Ah bugger, thats a pain (literally), hope they sort themselves out soon!

That is simply poor tracking. Needs fixing.

My Edition 30 is daft in this respect, doesnt feel especially fast, you dont feel the gearchanges, it just piles on speed very very well ... In fact the only thing that feels really quick about the car is the time between visits to Shell ....

Must be our ever increasing levels of fitness & ability ;)

Lovely :cool:

Well, theres a CS rolling road planned for January so i might aim to get it done for that, although theres no real rush .... Weighbridge might be done at some point - if its free - have been using the bathroom scales to weigh everything thats come out so far ;) And yes, it'll definately be...

Nah, dont worry, even hungover we're not that daft :rasp: jack + 2 axle stands at least! Mind you, after removing all the interior, its so high we could probably just lie under it ... Bought some ramps last night so that we can raise it up in the garage - for additional warmth during winter of...

I'd love one, Ollie's staying at mine again though, so he'll have to go in the boot lol ...

Sweet, get a project thread up!!!

Yeah i've got a cat, hopefully it works for my MOT 1st ha ha, car absolutely stinks when its running at the moment, no wonder it failed on emissions!! £2k is full-on track spec BTW, to include the following: 15” Compomotive MO’s with Eagle F1’s, GE Quickshift, 283mm 4 pots (Hi-Spec...

Knew i recognised the car from back when i hung around on fiestaturbo.com. IIRC its a chap who goes by the name of 'RS_Rawli' ... So more pics :cool: Hope he doesnt mind me copying & pasting img links ...

Oh bugger. I guess thats your housemate out as well lol ...

Just a reminder for those who turned up last week (& anyone else interested tbh). We are booked in for tomorrow as well: Spelthorne Leisure Centre Knowle Green, Staines TW18 1AJ 9-10pm. £2 each. :D

Whenever you like tbh, with everyone working on it, we could even try & get it roadworthy for the rolling road day in January ... Yours & Nicks are getting the 'weight saving' treatment next though ;)

They've always been popular with those in the though as they are pretty lightweight & tough ... I had them 5 years ago ;)
