tried PMing makavelli. think hes got loony's old set - but hes never complained about them :)

liking that install :) but round ere that monitor wouldnt last more than 10mins lol

suspension and ik are always worthwhile mods. recommendations really depend on budget. is that exhaust wonky ;)

id go for apex over spax but thats just from what ive been told off other people.

tinting spray from halfords, or get the bodyshop to mix black paint into lacquer and tint them this way.

went to see it today - looks loads nicer than expected as its pretty much finished. obviously much nicer than yours ...i wish :clown:

or you can have it smoothed in, which is arguably easier for the bodyshop to sort. cheaper than Has' method too ;)

not anymore. renault cocked up the delivery, so insurance and bodyshop have agreed to fix mine :(

indeed! will be nice to see the car in the flesh

theres been numerous times i've thought this, fitting my new gear knob, fitting my 172 doorcards, spraying my dash inserts, covering things in carbon. luckily all turned out well in the end, but at the time you think theres no going back and you should never have started

will look good when finished mate, you going to FCS?

you see if that was me i'd be really pedantic, take the wheels and exhaust off but standard ones back on, and take it back claiming the same problem, just to prove a point. then i'd sue them for all the extra money i've spent on petrol which i neednt have done. renault are c*cks end of

lmao, thats what i thought, you cant class it the best looking non rs when its a replica ;) I'm not sour :clown:

how would a 182 have the edge on the GSi? it has 15bhp more, more torque, and yes it is heavier but not enough to loose that much performance. I assume by the new shape your talking about the one before the current sports astra hatch.

i know a good little company in st helens which can mix you some up, always been pretty good. They're called auto paint and their website is http://www.auto-paint.co.uk/SHOP/Out/index.htm?catalog.htm&1. Cheap as well ;)

yeah we do, i got some stuff from there, brakes etc. If i remember rightly it was 10% dont quote me on that though lol

^ indeed, cheapest around. Give him a call as not all prices are listed on his site. 445 if the prices havent changed for fk highsports.

^ is it due for a service? can make a difference

Astra GSi has just under 200 bhp iirc, tad heavier but as i said i cant see you coming close in a straight line anyway. as said, might be close on the track but on normal roads he should beat you no problem

if its just on the diagnostic tool its nothing of concern. you can just reset it and all should be fine :) if its a semi-serious fault, it would be registered under one of the actual error lights. when i did it, i have 3 letters there :eek:

nope hes just faster than you. Astra GSi has more bhp, and a turbo, why did u expect to beat him, not that you should be racing anyway.

if you want cheap you can get some pi springs off 2modified (35mm) for 45 quid. Cant beat that lol

I'm not at home at the mo, but i've complained that many times i'm sure i have it somewhere... its wonderful how their address is so hard to find, i wonder why that is :quiet:

pretty sure 2modifieds cheaper, give him a call numbers on www.2modified.com i'd get apex or eibach if your just getting springs, koni are good too

my tripometer reads around 50mpg when driving sensibly in my 1.2 and my manual calculations show its not a million miles out. 30quid took me about 400mile round trip to norwich which wasn't a slow drive, especially as i managed to get the emissions light to come on ;)

if your pondering whether to go for FK's then i'd definetely go for them, as its cheaper in the long run - you'll only end up buying them in the end. silver x is a good kit as its stainless but if your only going to set it to one height, and then take good care of cleaning them regularly you...

i wouldnt bother anyway. never seen one yet that fits right.

all samco is based on internal dimensions. so measure the pipe you want to cover directly - add a mm or go for the nearest size and order the relevant length.

cant change negative. can only contact ebay to get it mutually withdrawn, but will still show up on their feedback. how did u manage that? lol

theres less body roll, and the handling is definetely better - however it is lower and therefore a harsher ride. depends what you want at the end of the day as to whether you class them as better.
