As Steve says 172 grill would be the way forward, they are only £42 from the stealer and make a huge difference to road presence.

Yeah briefly, I didn't realise it was you at the time, I thought someone had bought there younger brother along! The only way to tell who was who was by which car they got into and I parked mine next to pepsi's out the way because of its 4x4'ness! Will have a chat next time, the FPM was looking...

Lol, you too mate, I will let you know on the Viper next week, I need to ensure i ve got a summer job first otherwise im ruined, I should know by late next week. Alex

That may well be to less annicillaries (sp) coming of the engine such as air con etc. I read the same thing as you but it was a long time ago.

Im sure I read somewhere that all the best engines were saved for cups lol.

I would just get a well looked after 51/02 plate 1.2 16v, there are plenty about with under 50k, you should be able to pick one up for £3k, mine still feels new and has 58k on the clock, engines nicely loosened up too.

Im increasingly getting the impression you can't drive for s**t or your car is fecked! 190 miles from £40quids worth of fuel, roughly speaking thats about 23mpg!

Garmin Nuvi, never had a problem with it before to be honest, but I think it lost the satellites a few times hence the 154 top end and the fact it got us lost, it got me home ok though.

Yeah piece of crap, when we got into stoke I stuck the postcode for B&Q into it and I ended up leading a convoy of Clio's into the ghetto!

Was a great meet, sorry I didn't get a chance to talk to everyone, it was good to put user names to faces. My previously clean front bumper shows what a fun drive I had home, and according to my sat nav the 1.2 16v is quicker than i first thought, definatly something not quite right there think...

http://www.gasperformance.co.uk/ Good to talk to you tonite Russ, great site too, I will be pming you when I need some bits. Alex

You sure its leaking Oil? Its not the air con is it?

Lol, white turbines spacered out abit would look the tits, would go with your white theme and wouldn't break the bank!

As I said in the pm Steve turbines in black or white, white willy wheels would also look good though. Or you could get some turinis!

Looks sweet what springs are they?

As Sam suggested I was going to re-route my filter to directly behind the grill, but im not sure the effect rain would have on this? Im bored with the IK now anyway, its abit annoying when your slowly edging past someone on a DC and the IK is going baaaaaaaaaaammmmm and your hardly moving!

Get a Jubilee clip on there mate, someone on here had their K&N fall off I seem to recall and a bolt or part of bracket got sucked into the intake and caused abit of damage.

Day beat me too it, she's planning a cake in the oven!

PMSL, I guess the Recaro's make a better driving position, but the steering wheel is hardly a race car size.

Cash in hand is my preferred method closely followed by a bank transfer.

Isn't the owner a hottie?

I think this will be my next mod, as im starting to feel the heat soak with this hot weather.

Motorway crusing the optimum speed is just under 60MPH. I tend to go 70MPH as that is 3500rpm and it uses much less fuel than at 80mph (4000rpm and reving its tits off).

As above ^^^

Yeah im glad im not female.

I believe they are the rare 16" version.

^^^Head Gasket central.

The dash isn't as nice as a ph2 and like Taylor I would be going from a ph2 to a ph1. Its not too much of an issue as the seats are good and the rest of the interior is spot on, and like you say you spend most of the time looking out the window and your rear view mirror!

Apart from the dash board!

I like the idea of the user name on the car for meets and shows but im not sure about on the road. Mainly due to this tragic incident involving a Civic Type R meet: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=377548&hw=10penceshort The incident itself has been discussed to death on...
