Under a year old. Sent ktec a pic with it jacked up as high as the exhaust could go, clearly still visible. They didn't want to know.

Missing the point. The golfs you speak of were designed at a time when high insurance was killing off the hot hatch. Over the same time period, the hot clio's have remained on a par, all those around them (in general) have got quicker.

Again, I don't agree. The cooper s feels far quicker than the Clio. I've yet to drive a 197 that felt like it had near 200hp. But regardless of speed, the sense of energy and fun was sorely lacking IMO. I've yet to spank a 200, so couldn't say.

Mines been fitted by 2 seperate guys that I know, it's shite.

Hardly hate! I just don't blindly accept that a cars better as it's newer.

I can't say strongly enough how bad the ktec is. Badly fitting, blowing, sounds crap. So bad I'm trying to swap mine for a standard system + cash.

I don't agree. Most performance cars get quicker as they evolve. Focus st, focus rs, golf gti etc. Whilst getting safer.

Driving position, yes. The rest no.

Just shows that modern tyres, fancy suspension, epic brakes, and more power can't make up for putting on weight.

Depends what you want tbh. At that height, I imagine the handling's not going to be great. I wouldn't want mine that low.

Minutes for both. Maybe I was just lucky.

I drove through Birmingham once on the way to a party, dressed like Hutch (shades, gun etc). Was fun, some priceless reactions.

Seem's a bit strange to me. New rear pads after 26k miles? The ad doesn't read as though it's been written by an over 55. They really aren't difficult to clock.

Sreiously? Mine took 2 min's lol, no bubbles or dirt.

+1. Using that with an invisishield screen protector.

Older than the internet.

Expensive! Lot of leather to cover that bus wheel.

Gear stick:Looks good, good size, easy to fit (once you've hacked the original off) http://www.gear-knobs.co.uk/richbrook-slant-sports-gear-knob-p-590.html Steering wheel: Do you want to keep the airbag?

Immense. I'm stupid as well. FFS.

It's not 250 for corner weighting, that's a full set-up.

78% of air is nitrogen. So your paying £4 to replace some of the remaining 12%. Clever.

Nope, it's an old fashioned key for the Vee.

Fred's the best in the area. Based in Brum, close to the airport. fred@btmperformance.com

AFAIK, the koni's aren't height adjustable, just damper adjustable. Good kit by all accounts.

Well Harborne's uber safe, yet because of it's proximity to the city centre it's still a referred postcode area.

Re: iPhone "must have" apps? Yeah, seems to. Be interested to see how tomtom works without the dock.

There's nice parts of Basra, I'm still not fooking moving there!! I imagine insurance codes are worked out on the risk and the actual crime rates. The bad parts of CH would probably make the crime rate quite high. TBF though, anywhere in/around Brum is expensive for insurance. Harborne's safe...

Re: iPhone "must have" apps? Only happens with the default routing profile. You can change it to a custom one and the routing's better. I've used it a few times with my tom tom just to see if there's been any difference. Only on one route did they come up with a different route, there's a road...
