Latest was an impreza wrx sti, the git slowed right down to 10-15mph and then decked it. My valver isnt very good in 2nd gear only doing about 1250revs! lol! It seemed like ages before I was in the powerband and trying to catch him, but we hit traffic.
My electric mirror got clipped last night, managed to put it back, and was good as new.
Got back in the car, and the temp dial was reading -30C.
Is the sensor in the wing mirror?
Have I knackered it or is it something simple?
This is my opinion, and Im pretty sure most people would agree. Also, when the 16v came out in 1991, 185/55s were probably cheaper than 195/50s so thatd be why. Feel free to correct me anyone!
195/50s do improve grip/handling noticeably so its well worth changing. Also most 195/50s are cheaper.
You can get Toyo T1-S Proxes (195/50/15) for £29.40 from http://www.mytyres.netwww.mytyres.net
Also, how much tread have you got left on your tyres at the moment?
I had about 3mm left on...
Progressive! ;)
I only managed 120mph out of it when I floored it, but when I was progressively putting my foot down I got to 130mph and that still wasnt all the way down! :D
I think its time to finally get around to replacing the gearbox mount.
Anyway, Ive heard Hill Power do a strengthened one, has anyone had one of these & whats your opinion?
How much am I looking at for an OE part and the Hill Power one?
Thanks

IMO very few sunstrips actually look any good. Has anyone seen Norris Designs Evo VII, that has a very small sunstrip and looks pretty good I think. Also I quite like the BBPT ones.
As for logos on the back, Ill hopefully be getting a KTR one for the back window, as it looks good and not a...
Get a K-Tec exhaust and de-cat. Its only 4 bolts for the cat/de-cat so its easy to swap over come MOT time.
Unless you get a Piper-X Viper/BMC CDA (Sealed IK) youll lose power.
Hill Power chips are meant to be the best....and bloody cheap too!
Have looked at it and really like it.
Ill be ordering a bad girl spoiler though, as I think the combat spoiler is a little OTT for a standard looking valver.
I used to have Yoko A539s which I thought were pretty good, but have just bought some Toyo T1-S Proxes (195/50/15 - less than £30) and love them, they are just so grippy!
Go for the best tyres you can afford, many people forget that tyres are the only thing keeping you on the road.
