the yellow blends nicely with the inevitable brown around the arches

I had those AP coilovers on my FR, pretty comfy aren't they Jim.

Not fancy some Porsche Twists with adaptors?

They must rust badly if you're getting the pish taken by an MX5 owner

Oh they do.
Which is another reason I didn't get one, I've got enough oxides on the driveway as is.

Wash and wax today. Still enjoying it for what it is - a nippy commuter that does 40 plus mpg.

 

[Christopher]

I really like that. Almost a perfect daily hatch.

What kind of exhaust note does yours have?

Just asking because with the Poledo nearly ALL the noise comes from the engine bay.

I can't hear the exhaust over the sound of someone shaking a box full of nuts and bolts that comes from the engine bay.

 

[imprezaworks]

Not atall relevant.

But drove a 57 golf tdi 170 we took in part ex, Christ it goes well

 

[BashRacing]

Sold it yet?

 

[leeds_182]

Sold it yet?

Not even close!

 

[imprezaworks]

A keeper?

Jim.

Buy it. [emoji41]

Ah yes, OK then, I feel better now

The Poledo is currently running with no backbox at all...well, not one that's connected anyway. It hasn't really made a massive difference so weighing up options.
But as you say, all the noise is in the nose

[leeds_182]

Just dropped her off for the mot.

Fingers crossed...

Always a nervous time lol.

 

[leeds_182]

Always a nervous time lol.

Yeah, I'm hoping it scrapes through on the front tyres. They're close to the limit!

 

[alistairolsen]

Congrats on a pass!
I'd be getting new tyres on it ASAP if theyre worn that low! For all the money you spend on cars I can't believe youre razzing around on cracked bald fronts and some budget rears

It's cheaper than buying the genuine semi slicks.

As stated, passed its mot and only advisories were the front tyres which I knew about so happy days. Also got a deal on a re gas on the air con so mot and air con for £60 nips.

 

[alistairolsen]

FFS

Yeah a pass is always a good feeling and at least it's an easy thing to fix. Nice price on the MOT too. Around here £54 seems to be the going rate unless Kwik Fit.

 

[imprezaworks]

I pay £20. Just sayin

:smile:

Impressed it's not up for sale yet lol

:smile:

£20.00? Christ it must cost them more than that.

Congrats on the pass. Does Craig not do your MOT too? lol

 

[imprezaworks]

An mot costs them about £2

 

[imprezaworks]

Think of the money a busy mot centre makes

 

[_Tom]

Think of the money a busy mot centre makes :wink:

My mate swears they make no money if a car passes. 40 mins ramp time, the license fee, wages, machine calibration costs etc.

 

[Chrisgti6]

An mot costs them about £2

Unless they're just passing it without checking anything, it cost's considerably more than £2!

 

[imprezaworks]

To the government I ment

 

[BashRacing]

overheads vary massively but to carry out a test roughly costs between £15 - £25

Alas he's not a qualified tester!

 

[BashRacing]

Have a word Jim, what kind of a mate is he if he can't do you a dodgy test, I think Craig needs to tow the line a bit better, he does f**k all for you:tearsofjoy:

 

[_Tom]

Alas he's not a qualified tester!

He's failed you. Oh well he can just do everything else..:laughing:

They'll do another 6 months those tyres.

 

[leeds_182]

First clean in my new gaff. I now don't have to run the hose pipe through my house to wash the car. Result.

 

[imprezaworks]

House and car look ace Jim. Very impressed you still own the car lol
