I'll be there :D

I never thought about the effects on the metal, but having seen failures happen, to me it is a concern. I'd rather warn someone so they can make their own decisions, rather than not say anything and have an alloy fail have you read the links in the thread? I bet most are 'over engineered' but those designed with strict tolerances could be affected with the heat treatment

It pops and bangs like a good 'en

good decision, don't think the finish will be any different anyway it's surprising how many people say 'mine will be fine', yep, just because 'you' own them they have become unbreakable

I've fitted decat uppipe, 3" decat turbo back exhaust, with a small res box and rear box, it's not that loud, just releases the proper boxer sound to it's full potential :D

looking good B) I detango'd mine, but I didn't spray them black be careful with powder coating wheels http://bbs.scoobynet.com/wheels-tyres-and-brakes-13/924953-powder-coated-wheel-major-failure-images-not-suitable-for-children.html

So, When's The Next Sheffield Meet? The last meet had a great turn out, it was good to meet some new faces too Have you spoken to martin about the next meet? Is it going to be monthly? when it was the 'Sheffield Scoobies' meet, it used to be the 2nd Monday of the month :D

welcome to the club :P

I got a touch up pen from a dealer, it only cost about a tenner for paint and lacquer my paint code sounds like massive chesticles - 32J

glad you are keeping it. one tip about any mods, try to keep all the parts you remove or don't butcher any parts. people kept doing the full face lift and updating the cars, but now, the original non face lift are more sought after. all those people that binned the 'old' parts and fitted new, now the old parts can be worth more

welcome to the club car looks nice and clean can't believe you got 40mpg, best I've had is 36 and that was at 60mph for 200 miles :o

she won't have to pay the excess at all some companies won't let you buy back, they either have a company that buy's all the write off's or they send them all to auction just keep asking them to buy back, if they don't let you, ask to speak to a manager

I looked into the sea level too, at home I'm 50M above sea level, where we stayed in Newquay is 70M above, so, in theory, I drove up hill going there :P but 20M difference over 300 miles is nothing, it's not like I can freewheel all the way 60 MPG

they look good, but do stick out a bit one thing to consider, they are made to a budget, do you want your wheels held on by nuts made from cheap metal?

what fuel were you using before? I've found I get better MPG from Tesco 99 than nitro, I did a thread on scabbynet http://bbs.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-general-1/980241-mpg-test-nitro-vs-momentum.html one reply is a classic, MPG was worse coming home because.......wait for it.........I was going up hill back to Yorkshire WTF

so you did her when it wasn't windy then?????

car looks good, black is the best colour :D the turbo exhaust is 2 1/2 inch pipe, but the non turbo is only 2 inch, you might be able to make it fit (yours will have a different cat/pipework due to turbo) but I think you will lose torque from reduced back pressure yours also has equal length headers and no burble, you can buy unequal length headers for the non turbo to give it the burble though.......

she must have massive knickers

is she fit?

I don't go on facebook either, 95% of stuff it just a load of ****. a mate has got 1,000's of 'friends', he posted 'going in the shower' he got 107 likes, WTF! what's the point in trying to impress people you never see and didn't like at school, and if you saw them in the street you would cross the roads to avoid them I heard about the club at the Scooby meet at SSS

night night

great thread B) bet the track days were awsome

Ah, ok Sent from my wanky Sony Xperia

Eh? So what phone have you got then?

they've done a great job, did they install reversing sensors while they were working on it :D
