Thinking about going to have a look at one later as a second car of mine, used for work and trackdays etc.
What should i look for?
What the advert says:
120k
Completely original with no modifications.rare car. pirelliP6000 tyres. new exhaust & wheel bearings.very long MOT. TOAD security...
i have read a few forums and it seems 1% of the value of the car is the premium and the excess is 10% of the value of the car.
I'm looking to insure my 54' Leon Cupra R 225 for 1 day for some abuse round knockhill.
Who do you use?
Got the vee up in the deen matey?
Seen you (i think) tanking down the tyrebagger just before you come to Blackburn.. I was just heading home from work.
How hard to replace one? how much do they cost?
looking for a track car and seen a nice valver that needs re-wired.. or should i not buy a non-runner!?
As above!

fair enough it's clean and got big engine mods but you could do that to any nova for 5k...
basically ma rear cylinder just went pop.. while racing which was rather sketchy.. anyway, clio is home in one piece..
Basically one question i wanna ask is: is it because i've been using DOT 5.1?
i know it's not an RS but it's close enough!
Just playing about with some graduated filters and some extra colour.
only got photoshoped to brighten the ones thru the yellow filter!
the green sky looks wkd!
My flatmate has just got himself a rotary (even after me telling him a pc would be much better)
Basically we both have black cars so wanna have a go at them.
as a total newbie to this detailing malarky, what pads do we use, what products are best?
I had a read on autopia but would like...
Basically fitted ma de-cat the other day and it's leaking a little.
How can i fix this as i dont want to die of carbon minoxide poisoning!
Is it safe to use a little exhaust paste smeared on the gasket? Or do i need to get a new gasket?
p.s. the DE-CAT makes my car sound way too loud!!
Trying to get my decat on while my gearbox is out and the subframe is down but had to shear the heads off the nuts to get the cat off.
I now have the remainder of 3 studs (about 10mm long) coming out of the cat flange on the manifold..
I've left it soaking WD overnight so will have another...
Well my gearbox is almost out as it is fooyung so is it worth buying one of these?

or where else can i get one?
or should i just stay with a std one? (the current one i have has only covered 20k or there abouts)
Basically my car is kaput,
it sounded a little bang when i was slowing down for a speed bump in 2nd.
it now whines in first, rattles in 2nd, 3rd, a little in 4th and not really in 5th.
The weird thing is when in neutral it rattles a little and if you press the clutch in it stops..
I...

fitting my new discs, pads and lines at the weekend and noticed that the saddles dont float anymore.. (they did the last time i changed my pads)
basically i have managed to free one but the other is rusted solid. (visible if gaitor is pulled back) I ended up putting ma std pads back in or i...

What do you guys think, i think it looks 100 times...
Quick question;
Can i swap a mk2 ph1 boot to a mk2 ph2 boot? i prefer the button to unlock it etc..
Is it easy to do as my boot has a small dent in it.
Also, the paint colour. Is the mk2 ph1 mettalic black the same paint as the mk2 ph2 black mettalic?
