    Alcantara pillars... what to do about the sensors?

    Yeah i cut the top of the original knowing when it goes back to standard you wont be able to see the cut much because of the sensor will be back over it And cut a notch in the back of the pillars and ran the sensors round the back. Cheers

    Best exhaust system

    Looking at the rs192 too, around my price budget, Yozzas are highly rated on here, but seeing as ive only just bought my 182, what prices are we looking at? I want a nice note, not majorly raspy or loud, just "fruity".
