    Funniest Thing You Have Been Told By A Dealer...

    they wanted to give my mum £1500 trade in for my car 6 months ago, £1500 for a 3 year old car! it might have had 117,000 miles but its in perfect condition! hence why i got it instead of them!

    -60mm Apex kit fitted

    it sounds nice on full throttle above 3000rpm, especially with more strain on the engine like going up a hill. yours sounds better though, mine is just a cheapo filter on it might change it in the future if i can find a powertec or K&N cheap enough. yeah i really want an MS Design grill just...

    Buying a Cup.. Any tips?

    -60mm Apex kit fitted

    yeah its crazy, i was always talking about engine mods and engine conversions etc but this has made my car twice as fast through bends without changing the power! thinking of better brakes now to go along with it, even although standard they are ok

    1.6 16v engine

    yep in the long run the 2.0 is the better engine to go with but the 1.2 16v uses the same brakes and suspension as the 1.6 16v (phase 3 1.6 16v's have rear disks though) so with both conversions your going to need to do the gearbox, ecu etc im not saying id rather go for the 1.6, if your...

    cheapish performance upgrades for my ickle 1.2

    best thing you can do with a 1.2 is lower it and upgrade the brakes then if u want get a pannel filter and full s/s catback exhaust and decat. even if i spent £1000 on my engine i doubt i could get it round a tight backroad any faster than i can now that its lowered :)

    -60mm Apex kit fitted

    full kit mate springs and dampers £280 from k-tec getting a bit of rubbing from the back but only at one side so going to check that out later to sort it.

    -60mm Apex kit fitted

    Fitted my Apex -60mm kit yesterday so washed it and took some pics today. it looks nice and low even although id like the front a little lower. but the best part is the handling hammering it into tight corners at like 65mph and it just grips! if your hammering it round a corner and hit a...

    1.6 16v engine

    i cant see how it could be cheaper to drop in a 2.0 over a 1.6 considering a 2.0 costs more to buy and you need to upgrade the brakes and possibly suspension too

    MK2 PH2 Fog Lights

    so if you have a space for a front fog light fuse in your fuse box you should be fully wired?

    I’m eighteen, with a bullet!

    to be honest even if i won the lottery i wouldnt buy anything like an F430 or SLR, somthing like a 1.6 for a year thats still resonably nippy then after a year get a 2.0 then work your way up.

    k&n panel filter

    An air filter is a consumable item so the way I see it is your just changing it for a better, longer lasting item. just like you wouldnt declair upgraded wiper blades or headlight bulbs!
