Search mate. I have Eiback springs on my cup and they're superb. Can't recommend them highly enough.

The sport isn't too loud, but it is quite annoying. It's very boomy at the wrong speeds (50mph and 70mph I find) not too loud, just a bit droney. I love the sound of it when driving quickly, but I wouldn't buy another one.

Piston rings would be my guess mate.

What are the mag ones like Fred? I'm thinking about swapping for my turinis... Lightweight ftw!

How odd! I'd always dismissed them as a wheel choice because I thought they weighed too much...

F1 - 8.98kg 2118 - 9.62kg Edit- just noticed ali's picture..... It would seem the website figure is wrong... Same as what oz themselves say though? What size are they?? 15x7?

http://www.wheelweights.net/ Tada!

As said, cambelt is the main one. £500-£600 job if it's not been done yet.

I was hoping to pick up some second hand coilies so I could hopefully sell them at the other end for similar money? I just want to avoid it looking like a tractor for the 6 months it will take me to get the cash together for some quality kit.

As above, I currently have prolines on my cup but due to me swapping up the turini's for some 15'' ultralegs, it needs to be lower. So my question is, am I better off getting some sportlines or buying v-maxx? I aim to buy some top end coilovers as soon as money will permit, but it will look...

Another local! I'm from Crawley :) Welcome mate! Local meet???

Definitely says 'full Mark fish cage' lol. Sounds great mate, will see you in Alot of fun!

I put a thread up like this about 2 weeks ago. Loads of pictures.

Those wheels won't look nearly as good on a 1*2

I thought that storm grey would crap tbh, but that's bloody lovely that!

They'd have to be stiffer to be that much lower really...

Gray said it is a magnex.....

Eibach's. I have them, handling is brilliant.

Mine's broken too. Crappy French plastics

Black with green lip and green details would be epic.

It says they're a 30mm drop, but the cup is already 10mm lower :) I've got probes and they're really good. Sportlines would be my choice if I was buying again though.

Yes!

So just spend a little less on the car to compensate for insurance? 197's can be had for ~£7000 now, that leaves you £3k to play with?

Welcome mate! That's some seriously steep insurance.... Was that the cheapest you could find?! There's a few folks from nearby you on here, I'm sure they'll be along soon. My advice on your car would be body colouring :) makes a massive difference. Gets some pics of your car up chap.

Just cover them in pva and go for a spirited drive ;)

White alloys look fantastic but they're a b**ch to keep clean and look crappy when they're dirty. I'd go anthracite or black myself. Or something lairy, green or orange with matching details. A few on here have done this and it looks awesome imo

I must have been lucky then. I just rested my calliper on the top of my wheel and lent on it a bit. Went in really easily.

I just used a spanner with a towel wrapped round it to push the pistons back in. But you will need a torque wrench.

Theres a job for tomorrow then :)

Compared to a 182 it does.
