    1.2 16v oil filter

    went in to get an oil filter to do an oil change especially after yesterdays hard driving at the stirling meet and the filter i got instead of being a cylidner can was just a paper like filter, like a mini cylinder airfilter, does this sound right for the 1.2 16v engine? 02 plate btw cheers

    handling - FK coilovers vs Apex -60mm kit

    hi, looking at possibly upgrading to coilovers after seeing my car with 5 people in it yesterday (apex -60mm kit) but i only want to do it if the handling is going to be better than it is with the apex kit as i preffer handling over ride height.

    Apex -60mm kit question

    cylinder head skimming question

    if i was to get my cylinder head skimmed down a bit so the engine ran a higher compression what sort of gains would i be looking at? and what about reliability? keeping in mind the engine would be getting stripped down for a head gasket change anyway.
