Yeah Ive got a spare key, I was some 50miles from home so Im not bothered about the key. Cant start it without the alarm/immobiliser fob, which thankfully I managed to keep hold of.
Apparantely I wasnt the first, so I think thats why the police are taking so much interest. To be honest, I...
Ok....short version (did the long story with the coppers!)
Me and my mate were just sittin in a car park after wed been for a bit of a blast to let things cool down, when 3 lads come over to us.
They were askin us about the car and all that, and seemed alright, but then suddenly one of the...
Doubt it youll find anywhere else much cheaper tbh. Goodyears are the dogs dangleys and well worth it IMO.
A cheaper option would be Toyo T1-S Proxes. Should find them for under £200 for 4.
Ive got them on my 15"s at the moment and really like them, a lot of grip. Much better than the A520s, and A539s I had before.
Ill be getting some Goodyears though next week with my new 16"s;)
Have I just found out whats wrong with mine?
Mine has been idling really low on tickover recently, and I noticed it was ticking the other day too!
Is yours fine when the car is warm? mine only does it when its cold!
Let me know if it fixes it yeah, will have to get myself a new one too.
Ive just had the BBPT -50mm springs fitted. Not convinced they actually drop the car 50mm though. Didnt realise K-Tec do a -55mm kit otherwise I would have got that.
R5GTT book time 0-60 is 7.3s whereas the 16v is 7.7. The GTT is also quicker to 100.
My brother used to have a 140bhp R5, and would always beat my 145bhp valver. Something to do with about 35ish more ft/lb of torque!;)
The Piper X Viper & BMC CDA are both carbon fibre enclosed Induction Kits, both fairly popular.
Your looking at £250 for the Viper and maybe a bit less for CDA.
I bought my valver a year ago on 48.1K knowing full well it had been treated very nicely and hardly ever pushed.
One year on & 6.6K of hard miles, the engine is still in mint condition and the only part Ive replaced was a knackered oxygen sensor.
If you know that its been well maitained...
