As per thread title, fi you had need to replace a shock absorber, would you buy a pair fo shocks for £200 or a set of new coilovers with 3 year warranty for the same price?

Probably your CV boot.

Potentially looking into getting a Paintless dent removal guy to this, need to know if there will be enough interest to make it worth while first though?

Sounds like you've wasted a lot of time speaking to the wrong people, and they have wasted your time by not first asking you what your budget is? A price difference of £1500 is silly when you are just asking 'what mods should I do'. Give us a total budget, a list of improvements and priorties...

Slammed, debumpered, banded steels, clean, done!

But the R27 is visually stunning...

I managed about 8k on on T1Rs on the front iirc. Did about 11k with conti 3s on the front. Contis lasted 18/19k on the rear. Hankooks still looked new after nearly 5k on the front.

Actually, having an exhuast louder than standard is illegal. Problem with enforcing that law is prooving it. You will see on the V5 of newer cars that there are sound level readings for standard cars. Though the stationary rating of my 197 at 5500rpm was 89dB

Re: Dave.'s Trumpeted Engine Spec, Cammed Up Gunit, 2118'd Carbon obsession When you coming up to Freds next mate? Should have new motor tomorrow ;)

looked better not colour coded.

Kinda like that tbh...

TBH insurance is a joke all round! I can insure a Noble for less than I am paying on the new car which is far heavier and less powerfull. S2000 is over 2k for me, even without adding MrsDuck. For comparison, the 197 in my name alone was under £600!

This. Brentacre are literally half the best price I can get elsewhere, regardless of car.

He had a second set which he did the full bedding in process, or so I believe.

The right paint is best ;) Which isnt the hi-temp paint.

Dave. destroyed a set of these in 12 laps of donnington when using the ebc bluestuff supplied with them

Wouldnt want to do it myself, got a decent camera shop nearby? Olympus self cleaning sensors ftw

You like starting new threads dont you? Would work, but no need for high temp paint. Just get some renault glacier white?

FLOL at putting the handbrake on!!

I meant work up the grits, lol.

You will love it, good saving on the original insurance price to! When do you pick it up?

Thats a good price mate.

low grit wet and dry to start as the chrome is quite hard, then work way down the grits to around 400.

Full of want. insurance is a no no for me (read as having to have mrs on policy) though :(

I see your Ronal Teddy Bears, I raise you a Koala...

Agree to a point leeshez, but I think even the older mk3s still feel better made than any mk2 I have ever been in.

f**k going bridge. Buy this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Olympus-E-1-Digital-SLR-plus-lens-and-accessories-/260754824709?pt=UK_CamerasPhoto_DigitalCameras_DigitalCameras_JN&hash=item3cb632de05 May be a bit older now but it was built to withstand everything.

Will be missed :(

Take it Then explore all the other epic roads round there. Then you'll know you bought the righ car.
