Dannyboy has just put Eibachs on his Cup - gave a favourable report - theres a thread on it somewhere - it was yesterday or the day before.

Ive driven Roamers car with the quickshift fitted. It works surprisingly well, even pottering about in traffic. The lever is shorter than standard but I didnt find it a problem. I dont think its a DIY job unless youre really handy with the spanners.

Gotta love the Japs eh? Anyone hazard a guess at what wheels its got?

I liked - "Having owned a Scooter for two years, I thought the time had come to exchange it for something a little warmer" LOL!

Sat-nav will cover half the difference.

I think so, I had a 1.9 RTD that was just like that.

:( Still having physio on my knuckles...

Nice - saw a Flame Red one in Telford a few months ago - looked almost unique!

Its nice - Jas and JillyB have it on their cars - have a look in the gallery. About £350 inc fitting and painting I believe.

Thats not bad at all. My springs were £125, fitting was £40 and wheel alignment £28, total £193.

Have a look at the Autoexpress website http://www.autoexpress.co.ukhttp://www.autoexpress.co.uk They did a test of all the major brands a couple of months ago.

Yep, thats pretty much how I reacted when I fitted mine. Did you remember to get the wheel alignment checked?

Either way youll need to change the brake fluid to get more laps out of them without a cool-down break.

Hmmm - nice. You cleaned the car too :D What tyres did you get?

Expect more trouble. Trackday insurance is a rip-off. They assume that you are a total lunatic. I had insurance the first time at Bedford - turned out to be safer than driving through an average city centre as long as you do as they suggest in the briefing regarding cooling-down laps etc.

Also there is the hot hatch shootout at York Dragway at the end of July - therell be a load of us there. Details: http://yorkdragway.intrica.co.uk/index.plhttp://yorkdragway.intrica.co.uk/index.pl

LOL ..... and all the small furry animals ran back into the forest, for they were very afraid....

Hes probably posting on the CTR forum how he toasted a 172... DCi80 with 105bhp would be a great motor. Almost the same bhp as a 1.6 16v and loads more torque.

I called Tesco yesterday. All of Simons words are correct. Tesco charged me an additional £21 to upgrade the minimum EU cover to fully-comprehensive.

Roamer, In time-honoured fashion Ill be very happy to test the car once its done mate :D

Superb effort. Did you do the work yourself?

You gonna be cleaning it again before Friday Tony? Or is that it for the season? ;)

Well done mate - thats the sort of undertaking thatll get you some business on here.

LOL! Tip: If you get married make sure shes the same age as you, otherwise you get your mid-life crisis before she does and daft cars will still be a contentious issue!

Absolutely, which is (a) why I keep banging on about getting one, and (b) why my missus doesnt understand :confused:

I dont think itll ever be a Scooby alternative - being a 2 seater with very limited luggage space will always limit its appeal. Its totally impractical as an every-day car, the Subaru holds all the cards in this respect.

Zorst next then. Dont do your chip until youve done all your other engine mods (induction kit etc). Then you can have the chip custom-mapped to suit your mods.

Wot no lowering? Cheaper than any of the other things and niiiicccccce. I did lowering first, then zorst.

LOL yeah, He who is tired of Telford is tired of, err, Telford. Mind you. I once got sent to work in Crawley, and that was worse.

Yup, someone has to live there. You?
