Does cruise still work?

Plus, if you never remove the spare James, you'll never notice any weight difference (not that I think you would anyway).

I always run a spare. Not fun if you get a flat miles from home at night and end up waiting an hour plus for an RAC van. Just get a space saver, will do the job.

Good for you fella, I don't get people that lock cars away and don't use them.

All just cars at the end of the day. It's insured (TPFT;), so whats the worst that could happen?

Wouldn't put me off at all. There's dozens of old Porka's that I want to own, none of which have airbags. Does make you a bit more cautious though!

Sorry to ask a dense question, but did it fall off from the vehicle directly in front? Just wondering why you didn't have time to slow/avoid?

The Golf's a very, very good hot hatch as standard, certainly more so than the VXR, Meg 225, and Focus ST IMO. Not the most exciting car, but brilliant.

How was the traffic? Quiet?

Said it before and I stand by it. The Astra VXR is the worst performance car I've ever driven, by some distance. Woeful, in no particular order -Power delivery -Traction -Gearshift -Interior -Steering Just an awful car.

Exactly what my uncle did, 997s to Gallardo. Hell of an upgrade! Still think I'd rather a 997GT3.

Not sure fella, I know that with all the motorsport stuff he's uber busy at the moment. I think after the spam-fest that the last thread became they'll keep it under wraps until it's ready for sale.

When the inlet is released, going from whats been said, you could get it fitted with cams for that money. But, obviously until it's released it's impossible to talk bhp etc.

Super cup inlet? Predicted to make similar power to ITB's, but much cheaper? (Just an option, no need for the fanboys to start)

Throttle body spring fucked, common problem, lots going at the moment. My ghetto fix You can tell if it's the spring. Pop the hood, give the car a few revs until it idles at 2k. Then manually try and close the throttle (ie turn the plastic wheel). If the revs die to a normal idle, that's yoiur...

Better idea. Bonnet sticker with an arrow pointing toward the cambelt ;)

Flol, don't be stupid Roy. Do you know how much effort that takes!

Can't stand all the tow sticker nonsense. For posing show ponies IMO. Are you going for every CS fad on one car? Sure you'll end up pedo bear stickers, tow sticker, turini's, show cage. Will be the quickest 182 in McD's.

Spare set of 15's, cheap tyres. Just grab something cheap, 2nd hand etc.

Just don't want you to end up with a fubar's car!

FFs, you are a face plant. 5yrs, they need doing you pleb. Thats the only way of checking. How do you not walk into things more often?

Riad in the gym? I bet the vending machines never knew what hit them

I think it's new rsport badges 1st. New engine is 4th on list IIRC.

Flol, just what I was thinking.

Not a fan of titanium, just a boring ordinary silver. The hint of blue makes Iceburg far nicer IMO.

Problem was I was using easy mode. Once into full mode, no problems at all. The connection is great, hardly slower than my home broadband!

I like them as a road seat. No supportive enough for a lot of track days, but a really nice road set-up IMO. They look a hell of a lot nicer than Daytona's as well. They drop you down nicely, more than the Trendline's.

I would of bet a cupcake you'd be along soon enough!

All sorted, now have browsing whereever I am! Cheers!

Yep, and fitted a pair. Pm Riz, he may have a mint 2nd hand pair for sale. I've had Recaro Trendlines, waste of cash. Barely lowers the driving position (10mm) there are better options out there far cheaper.
