Just don't knock it off

Ok, laugh at me, just realised it was a mk2, most of what i said still applies though

Ypu don't NEED shocks to lower it, but it makes it better, thinkk of it this way, the more the spoend the better it will be springs > springs and shocks > coilovers. Don't forget you can always buy shocks seperate at a later date if you can't stand springs. Go for 15's not 17's they make the...

Jeezzzz, quiet a bit of difference compared to swapping one on a valver and it costing me £40, lol

Depends how many fat mates you have in the back, and how full of speakers your boot is. Ideal ride height is wiht the arse end higher them the front, if you measure from the sill mine is just under 120mm at the front and about 125-130 at the back, and i'm gonna raise that up abit, in an...

Check the gearbox oil level, and check the n/s inner cv gaitair for possible leaks, its lubricated by the gearbox oil

Pm BenR about a cam, also proting and polishing will help you aout, but for casm and porting and polishing you are looking at around £800, you have to ask yourself, is it realy worth it on a 1.4?

You must have too much f**king money mate, dirt cheap, not at £50 a corner

Quite possibly Fred, i've got 4 worn down rainsports that will do me for a track day or two, but after that i'll need something, what sorta price we looking at?

Keep your old road tyres after you chamge them, they are good for atleast 1-2 trackdasy before they become shite

Glued and screwed on

Look in your manual IIRC they list all teh kerb weights of the various models in there

They dont; do a twin lamba one for a reason, the 2nd lambda is there to make sure the cat is working, if its got a de-cat the ecu will think you have a dead cat, you simply unplug the 2nd one, no modding required

There are two.....jesus this IS getting confusing

Safety Devices went inot liquidation ages back, not sure whats happened to them now tbh

One variation, then i moved to here: And for winter i have a more inclosed one in a similar place with a direct air feed from the fog light hole

Yup, got a de-cat, paid less, had more power

Since when have you had a cup, what happened to your mk1?

I've been using owrn down road tyres, but they aren't ideal, well my eagle F1's have got the point now that they have almost no grip, and are basically slicks. Its about £400 for a set of 4 semi slicks, so unless you are doing alot of track days its not worth it, depends if you are going on the...

Isn't a sports cat supposed ot give you more power, but still remain wihtin the legal emisssions limit?

Remove the glass,or open the sunroof right up,and rub soap inot the rubber seal to soften it and then coat wiht vaslaine and don't open again. Alternativly if that doesn't work it can be comming in around the arial, as there is no rubber seal, take this off (nut underneath, remove console) and...

Air bag makes no difference, just have to unplug it and it comes off wiht the wheel. Infinicar did me one for £40, they are either £90 or £190 from reno, i forget which. Technically its easy, its just a b*****d and a half to get to, defo a 2 man job, one to be under hte car and tighten it up...

Yeah either yozza sport or mark ritchspeed, iirc he does a COMPLETE 280mm kit for under £500
