My car was getting its next installment of ICE yesterday, and while the auto-electrian was in the car, I got him to have a look at the s/r.
Ever since my s/r started leaking (now fixed) the electric s/r hasnt worked. He reckons I need a new switch & motor.
How much am I looking at for each...
Depends;
Its worse to put worn tyres on the back as your arse end will be trying to overtake you on every corner....but you say the 2 tyres youre keeping still have plenty of life in them. If they still have plenty of tread left, put the new tyres on the front.
A lad I know off had the 160bhp conversion for his 106GTi but only had it rolling roaded at 145bhp.
The saxo boys dont like them either!
Does anyone know what mods LAD do to try and attain this figure, cos I bet youll only end up with 185bhp at most which would make it very expensive extra...
Im much happier with the de-cat, its seems to go quicker without the need to push it so hard.
KTR do a silenced de-cat as well so it doesnt have to be so noisy.....but I like mine LOUD!
Well my 16v was rolling roaded before and after having a full KTR exhaust & de-cat fitted.
Result were only 1bhp & 1lb/ft but both were peaking at lower revs (bhp - 6650rpm instead of 6950rpm * torque 4800rpm instead of 5100rpm)
This made a very nice improvement on the road, as it would pull...
Im pretty sure its been photoshopped, just by the fact that too many things are identical in each photo.
e.g.
exact same part of dash taken photo
mileage reading the same
water temp still the same (surely going to 7500RPM, things would get a little warmer)
light blurring at the top of both...
How Lucky am I?
Was going pretty quick into a r/a on a fast a-road, got it nicely in line but got on the power a bit too early on the exit, had to lift off, & had the arse end coming round! Managed to catch it, and only very slightly clip the left rear on a sloping kerb.
Everything seemed...
Id get some new tyres cos you dont want to end up wrapping your williams
http://www.mytyres.netwww.mytyres.net - you can get some well cheap toyo proxes from there!
Also, your getting to the point where if a copper pulls you he might try and do you for a bald tyre (3 points each!)
There is no legal sound limit for an exhaust but what the coppers will do you for is noise pollution/creating a disturbance. So dont be flooring it round residential areas and youll be ok.
Mines be on for quite a while now and ive not been stopped yet.

I am more than impressed with mine.
Looks - Unique, Ive got the 4.5" slash cut tailpipe and it looks amazing!
Quality - Very good, I have no complaints.
Exhaust Note - Rally Car! Ive got a straight through de-cat which makes it so loud.
Power Gains - This is what most...
My mate from work has just bought a mint 1.9 GTi and admits that mine is quicker (both standard apart from exhausts)
Not had a chance for a head to head yet though
