Does it have a black stripe on it?

On the black country route - red 197 with a black stripe Then in Penn, wolverhampton a nicely standard silver 172 in front of me that turned into a driveway Both around 5.30pm

I hover between 28-31mpg but I sit in traffic a hell of a lot. Think my average speed according to the trip for the work commute is something like 12 mph

How much do you want to get it down to and spend doing it? Basic lightening costs nothing until you reach a point. Think plexiglass windows, no dash, one seat lightweight seat, CF or Fibreglass bonnets/doors/tailgates I guess

Thats thats the one. Theres too many of these after market multispoke wheels for me to take! haha

Seen again this morning, its on OZ superleggeras

On the drive home from work so around 5pm ish Red 197 on the black country route going towards J10 LY ph2 V6 in traffic at J10 Titanium 182 parked on a driveway in parkfields

Went past my house so no doubt they'd have seen my 182/saxo as I was outside working on them. Woman driver in the cup - also had a fluffy steering wheel cover! :evil:

wedging the wishbone down too helps, otherwise when the ball joint is removed it can spring back and catch the cv boot damaging it

even though the water temp gauge is at half way, sometimes its still not warm enough to allow the upper limits of the rev range

Turned off onto the slip road and went over the bridge on marshland way avoiding all the traffic, crafty bugger! Was on some after market wheels

Has it still got the cat in? I dont think the single box scorpion is too loud providing you arent sitting at 5000 rpm +

Looks good, rarer being an FF too

Looking good, whats up with the scorpion exhaust?

Its an awesome colour, pictures dont do it justice even if you have an awesome camera. I've only ever seen one though in the flesh

I find its easier to get it back in from underneath the car rather than side on. A screwdriver blade used gently to flick it over the metal part helps too

I used a normal jubliee clip. The shaft has metal insert on it that open end of the rubber gaitor fits over - you want to put that on so its tight with a clip but the metal part needs to be able to rotate inside of it. I reckon thats how you lost your gearbox oil as the metal insert came out of...

Turning off the b'ham new road, into an estate about 5pm. 04 plate with RS192 exhaust i think?

Probably bought as a top of the range clio when new and she liked the bright colour. Theres an old dear around where I live, who drives a blobeye sti wrx

Just over 20 years old and never messed about with - thats rare

Saw an artic 182 on the black country route about 6pm Silver ph1 leaving longford in cannock about 6.30pm Black 172 back in wolves on the stafford road, oxley pulling in outside a house, 7.45pm

Just had a new mot on this, no advisories too which is nice. Got them to do the tracking too as it was way out before

I had a similar issue but not as severe, was only getting 24/25mpg using Vpower which is usually very good for me. Changed the front lambda and its up in the low 30s now even with a spirited drive here and there

Turning right on to the bilston road. Looked totally standard and well cared for

Bought some of these Fitted them to the mounts after some fettling Should hopefully make the exhaust look a little less like its drunk and last a bit longer - the standard ones had given up and the rubber spans had mostly snapped. Also changed the front lambda sensor as I was only...

I think you mean pas tank - you cant see the brake fluid tank, its down the back.

All you need is a subtle Pistonheads logo, nothing else not even this forums advertisement!

Yeah lovely bit of kit. Keeping it bog standard from the outside too but with a GTi-6 power :)

Let me out of the works car park, then followed me out by the tescos about 5pm

On the other side of the road. Its an FF too - was like looking in a mirror
