2nd hand OEM cat FTW if budget is an issue.

Sub would need a power line from the battery and a remote-on from the HU. There's a grommit in the bulkhead to pass the power lead through and then earth it against , well, any bare metal you care to make. You can add it in at any point to be fair, but you'd have had to plough at the very...

The screen will be the biggest issue. Not only will you need a cable set that is both semi-rare and rather pricey, you'll also need a head unit that supports it, so immediately you can budget £250 for those 2 items. If you can live without the dash display, then I'd recommend the following...

There's no replacement for displacement. Cubes, pots and revs > boost IMHO, TBQFH, of course ;)

Errrrr. R32 surely? Live once, burn all the fuel!

Wait until you've driven one. I really wanted an MR2 right up until I tried one.

ah well, never mind. If I had the funds to get a daily jalopy I would, immediately. a Clio Initiale DCi and Listerine combo would be the cheapest all-purpose driveway I can imagine. Cost less than running Listerine as a 24/7 daily anyway!

Thats why I'm saying Mx-5 for fun, some sort of diesel generic machine with cruise control for the daily grind. That way you have a proper car to tool about in, and another proper car for heavy lifting. Instead of the jack-of-all-trades hot-hatch ;)

Leon Cupra R. Mercedes C320 (petrol or diesel, don't care) Ratty S2000 Import 350z An MX-5 and a generic daily (something like a Golf Tdi) Corolla Compessor Something like that. I really have a general disgust of the BMW, Audi and VW, basically..... oh, and 99% of Clios (once bitten, forever nope)

If it's got the kit you want, do it. For 6.5k I'd be looking at something different, but then I don't share a taste in cars with many on here :)

Yes, you're being tight. ;) Even if they fit, they wont have the same settings for damping so you'll be compromising the handling of the car. Given it's no dragster or cruiser, you will only remove 90% of the point of the car.

As above. If you try hammering it from cold it will try and stop such things in the name of self-preservation. Faulty thermostat? Probably not else its unlikely you'd have got it free up at all.

Which a track car would never be, huh? Wut? Still, you did the right thing

Not that I can see, other than just getting one from a breakers, but then you may not be any better off. Have you considred maybe replacing the changer altogether, for an aux-in, or similar?

ALright chap. RE: Insurance. By the time you declare your go-faster mods (which, of course, you will) you may find it's cheaper just to buy a 172. Not to mention buying said 172 will be significantly cheaper than pouring good money, after bad, into your current car. Quite frankly, if running...

Would still prefer a 2nd-hand entry-level TAG to these.

Halfords

Groupon / Wowcher. those kind of places normally have a promo on the go for refurbs / old stock. But if you want a current-gen one, then you may as well go to Apple.

If you dont use CD's anymore, like most dont.... HEADUNIT (better options are available at higher costs, of course) Stalk control adapter (optional) Stereo - adapter lead (in conjunction with above) This set-up, combined with a small sub (underseat, or boot-mount) and some fettling of the...

VERY THAT! ^ Matwe of mine has 3 ipads of different styles, and a 2yr old. Each one has a split in the screen of some size

You what? Destroying the handling with swick scene lowz makes for a shed? Whoddathunkit ;)

That is true. ^ There are plenty of parental lock options, but the quickest way to create reclusive, over-sensitive kids is to give them open access to the internet. Pandoras Pad, basically.

All I'd say is whichever one you get, make sure it's got the lightning connector. Any older and if you update to latest iOS versions it'll run like a bag of nails.

A first-gen iPad mini will do all she needs. 16gb will suffice for most things and if you want to store movies etc. go for a 32gb You can probably get them for around the £150 as a refurbished unit, less for a used one. Sure, you could well get a brand new, top-of-the-line iPad Air 129gb wi-fi...

The car was never a showcase of refinement from day 1, everything rattled, cold, warm, melting point, didn't matter. Now that it's just a wafer-thin-steel tin with a gruff engine in the nose and probably a badmanz exhaust, how you're not deafened within 20 miles is beyond me.

^ all that

Clios rattle enough when they're OEM. If you're trying to build a "race" car with top NVH qualities, you might want to call up Mercedes F1, because if you succeed they'll probably pay good money for it.

There's got to be cheap ones knocking around on CS, plenty of children are replacing OEM kit with noise pipes, every day :/

fair enough. I've never found any difference from a steering wheel myself. unless it was some button-sized that the ultra-virgins all seem to go for

that try-hard steering wheel needs to go
