Clearly low miles for the age.

no

You'll actually save more than that. The coilovers would need setting up to get the best from them, so add at least £200 on top for that.

H&R, yes. But he's not talking H&R's.

Standard, with a whiteline rear ARB.

Awesome, but I can't think of anything I'd rather less have a prang in! I'd love a Caterham, but I'd only use it on track.

Static?

There's a scheme with apple where you can get a free one due to the antenna issues. I went for the griffin graphite case, only took a week to come through. http://www.apple.com/iphone/case-program/

It's kind of a joke fella. But at the same time, I don't understand people that go out to be quicker than the next man on a track day. 888's give a lot more grip, so more wear on all suspension and braking components, pointless for me. I like the added responsiveness from the stiffer sidewall...

888's are cheating iirc.

Stripping renders most cars as shite when it comes to being everyday useable.

What else have you done to the car? What sort of use does it get (ie purely road, track, mixture etc)?

You mean morego? Lol. I've driven one of those cars (their own demo 182). No way 202bhp, not even close. I'd be surprised if it broke the 190 barrier in all honesty. To get close to 200, you need to budget roughly twice that. But don't get hung up on the number 200, utter mugs game.

You can get these type of things http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Motorsport/Steering_Wheels_&_Accessories/Steering_Wheel_Bosses_&_Accessories/Sparco_Steering_Wheel_Buttons/1766/1121

Possibly, journey type makes a difference as well. But relying on the trip meter is pointless.

BG are the only one's I've heard of on a regular basis, but they must be out there. I imagine they are more for motorsport applications, and the labour costs etc will reflect their expertise. Enough to put off the average chav in a mk2;).

Not enough demand. Too many people are willing to buy cheap stuff rather than save for decent stuff. People baulk at the sachs rebuild costs, despite the quality of them.

Even if it's a ball ache I'd go for the h&r's over vmaxx. I think Fred@btm might have been trying to get some h&r's rebuilt for someone, might be worth a call.

Why? If you're determined to spend money on chasing power, drive a few cars and decide which setup to go for, or at least passenger rides. But if powers your aim, you've got the wrong car.

Not read the whole thread, but you're 100% wrong about the 200 fella! I'm getting 34ish average, have done since day one. That's calculated, the trip meter says I'm only getting 27ish.

Who's Matt Black? Why would I brown nose him?

I personally think the standard wheels done gloss black would look better (as per the meg250). Soon as I can be bothered I'll be having mine done.

Lol. A 300bhp 1.8t lump has less character than a hoover. Horrible engine. Bombproof, but horrid. Good choice on the op, great cars.

Fixed damping, sadly there's no v2 option. V3 if you want adjustable.

KW's would be an improvement imo. The stock setup on any normal car has to account for more factors than handling/performance.

Bought mine on a whim last week. o2 shop had loads in stock.

Sounds awesome. I'm assuming you'll be playing against Lewis online in future;)?

Useless. Probably the worst I've used on a 1*2. Adequate in the dry, poor in the wet, sidewall too soft, wear too quickly. Hankook v12 evo are similar money, and the best tyre I've used. Plenty on here are switching over to them, with good reason. Camskill are usually the cheapest supplier.

Re: Trophy #433 Yes, superb addition. 'Borrow' Vish's, only an hourish to switch over (and back). As soon as you turn in the back takes up a bit of attitude, which you can push further if you want!

Re: Trophy #433 Have you not tried the whiteline ARB yet?
