I have my other old Exclusive back. Undecided weather I will be fixing it or breaking it, I will decide this weekend once I have checked it all over and asess(sp?) what it is worth once fixed, or stripped.

I have my other old Exclusive back. Undecided weather I will be fixing it or breaking it, I will decide this weekend once I have checked it all over and asess(sp?) what it is worth once fixed, or stripped.
I thought I would sit down last night and run through what the car owes me - I am determined not to waste money, and so far it's going pretty well:
The car as it stands including buying the car itself and fitting:
2nd hand engine
New Valeo clutch
Genuine cambelt and aux belt kits, cam caps
Genuine new dephaser
2 oil changes and 2 coolant changes
Genuine coolant bottle
OZ F1 cups in red
Safety Devises rear roll cage
The total it owes me currently stands at £1,868 - not too bad for the specification I think, if I was to build it from scratch it would have cost probably twice that. Plus I still have my OZ Supertourismos to sell off it, which will take that back down to about £1500
On a seperate note, going over to confirm today, but 99% sure I will be breaking my other exclusive I don't want to, but the work needed to get it back up to scratch and working will mean I would be lucky to break even if when I came to sell it

GOOD LUCK SLUT BEANS
LY Megane R26 230
Coming along nicely
They are a good upgrade only on price really mate, I doubt they will give an increase as well as the cats, but on the flip side as fitting isn't a problem, they should be in and mapped for under £350 - which should be a good gain bhp/£ as most cams are £500+ new and at very least £200 second hand

And I'll have a bonnet when you're ready you big gay bear
Hows the little man doing? Cams not in yet?

He's not brought it down to me yet for them to be fitted lol
Evo 5 RS
Thought you might be involved
If it wasn't clear I wasn't calling you his little man LOL x

lol for you you could have 2 x
Don't worry mate haven't forgot, just been super busy with a ton of stuff at home and looking after little man - thanks for asking mate, he is on the mend, but the cold/flu he has means as soon as he lays down he gets all choked up with fhlem/runny nose and ends up chocking
so still sat up most of the night with him, like a walking Zombie atmThought you might be involved
If it wasn't clear I wasn't calling you his little man LOL x
Dan's always involved, the dirty slut ***** he is x
Im sure we will have them fitted in a few weeks, we did the engine/cambelt/clutch change in 7.5 hours, so im sure cams will be half that
Cheers mate, any gain will be good, that reminds me, need to get some ARP's - anyone know the cheapest place to get them?
Evo 5 RS
Nasty, you'll probably catch it next
Oh, and I got mine off ebay, were cheaper than anywhere else I could find. All genuine obviously, seems to work alright I'll dig the seller up.
Only down side is theyre based in Poland, so took a few days to get here. Roughly a week I think.
Edit: Topendpower was the seller, can't find the listing for them now though

Well story goes:
She had a reverse light out, So I changed it, asked her to turn the ign on. She went a step to far started it crushing me between her and her mums car.

"Remember that time you tried to kill me"
Flol! Nutters, the lot of ya
I would like them in by Llandow mate, but to be honest I very much doubt il have the time to get everything done, bear in mind in needs a set of ARP's, plus the cams fitted, I still need to match my spare inlets, move my battery to the boot and get it mapped.
Bear in mind I work full time and have my own business, 1 2 1/2 year old who starts pre-school this week (She is growing up too fast! ) and the other 3 weeks old, I think a target of by sometime next month would be more realistic
