These are proper cheap on eBay now so want to pick one up. I've no idea where the OBD port is on the 200, so do I need a specific type, or will pretty much any one from eBay fit? Thanks!

What? That highlight backs up exactly what I said!

105 vs 118 bhp is hardly leagues apart though. If I had a passenger that would even it up and I'd still have loved driving it. Apologies Noddie...wasn't aimed at you specifically!

Agreed...except that's not what they OP asked. I think you've missed the point of this thread. He didn't ask "could I get a refund?" or "could I carry value over to a higher spec stainless exhaust?". He asked if he could get a stainless exhaust as a direct replacement for the mild steel one he...

Yup, was bored and we'd run out of coffee LOL

Nope, although a G-clamp helps. Edit: Ignore this, I thought you meant the fronts. On the rears I believe you have to wind them back in...not sure if there's a specific tool for it though.

So it's lacking a little power...why does that make it horrible to drive? I had some fantastic drives in my 107bhp Ignis, how fast you get propelled down the road is irrelevant to driving enjoyment in my opinion, unless your sole focus is headline bhp figures. On that basis my 200 is horrible...

'tard forum.

To be fair to the exhaust supplier, they've addressed all quality issues as and when you've raised a grievance. In that respect they're doing nothing wrong at all. To expect a stainless exhaust when you paid for and have had a lower spec mild steel one is unreasonable...you get what you pay for.

Why horrible to drive?

This is a very good habit to get into...once you realise you're behind an imbecile, treat them as such.

Bonnet bras are for people who think having their car look like a spacktard in a straightjacket is better than having a few slight almost unnoticeable stone chips. Your car is not made of platinum FFS.

You need my Cup whole for spares Jay?

When I say blood boil, I mean it angers me, frustrates me that people drive to such a low standard and never make any effort to improve. I don't let it get to me in the road...if I did I'd not have sat patiently behind the BMW, or dropped back from the MPV awaiting their next unpredictable move...

I got a stainless exhaust from them for my 172 Cup when it had 2,500 miles on it. 90,000 miles later and after some serial track abuse the centre silencer fractured. They replaced it free of charge under their lifetime warranty. No questions asked and absolutely no hassle whatsoever.

Looking forward to seeing this finished!

...or driving with one's head up one's arse :mad: Out for a blast to scrub in my new PE2s and came across these two numpties...makes my blood boil! No matter how hard I try I can't get my head round why you'd want to take a lane 1/2 mile before you need to while you hold everyone else...

Yup, below 2-3krpm it's like the pedal's connected to the throttle body with a very slack bungee cord. Above 5k it's better, but still not twitch-your-ankle-razor-sharp. I'm learning to drive around it, have to give it a more considered stab when rev matching, but beyond that it's no issue at...

Hello and welcome. My advice would be similar to his lordship above, take it on a trackday and drive it. I did that when I got my 172 Cup new in 2003, and for the first 5 years of ownership I did a mountain of trackdays, and only ever changed/upgraded the brakes to braided lines with better...

This makes me LOL every single time it's posted in response to a new member introduction. What's this forum/club called? Should we change its name as it's clearly a f*** up?

Maybe, but I will be taking it on track on these...wouldn't be comfortable with an outside shoulder repair.

Looked at Camskill and MyTyres and seems I got a good deal from the the tyre place this morning...ended up paying £302 all in. MyTyres have them at £153.50 each without fitting!

Going for the PE2s. Don't know what I was thinking tbh. I know they're outrageously expensive but have no other options, the tyre's off the rim and they understandably will not refit it.

Opinions? A really slow puncture has turned out to be a tiny hole right on the shoulder so not repairable. Tyre's off and I've got the option of 2 Prestivo Sports at £80 each, or Michelin Exalto PE2 £160 each. They have no other stock :( Thinking PE2s as I don't want to regret not spending...

Woop! Proper part of CS history this one. Want to buy mine whole for spares when yours eventually f***s up Chris? You know it's a good'un.

I move the mic away from my mouth. Try it.

I haven't given up on this yet. I may just turn up...with my two daughters in tow so won't be able to hang around.

Nicely done Lee :approve:

I've never had a problem with PC World. My current branded laptop came from them, purely because no other retailer (internet or otherwise) could offer the same spec for anywhere near the same price at the time. I went in last year on the day of the Royal wedding, was deadly quiet, had staff...

My car has been without a headling for the last 3 years...it spends weeks at a time without turning a wheel, and is parked a stone's throw from the beach so in a relatively humid area...but I have never had even so much as a drop of condensation on the inside of my roof?!? I've no idea why!
