and good luck

Congratulations. Sounds great.

Well, I suppose they had to economise somewhere Me being a bit sad I crawled under mine and treated most of it, albeit with no great attention to detail.

I will also watch with interest . I've already gone for Abbey's rose jointed compression arm bushes, to make that particular issue go away - plus their enhanced arb drop links. My particular interest is in not compromising the ride quality too much for road use. With the roads as they are I personally would place a lot of emphasis on suspension compliance but realise that people will have differing priorities. I wouldn't want a "skippy" car.

and good luck.

Interesting .. but one question I had was regarding the additional detergents in some super unleaded fuels. In addition to its higher octane rating, Shell V Power, for example, claims to have additional additives/detergents for better engine conditioning for want of a better phrase. I wonder what importance you would attach to those?

Late morning. It may have been for sale but didn't have a price on it.

I have been very pleasantly surprised so far with the positive reactions I get to the car. For some reason that escapes me the car gets at least as many positive looks/comments as I did with a bright orange Caterham that I owned a few years ago. And my roadster is cosmetically competely standard (not even GT pack).

Part of the reason for the cost is that the plugs account for somewhere around 2 hours of labour. I have taken my car to Abbey and would have total confidence in them. For me it would be as much to with their expertise as the cost.

Plugs are 5 years or 54,000 miles, whichever comes first. Your car is 06 so that means the plugs are due. A good garage might well work it out but as it is a separate operation, to be on the safe side it would be best to specifically ask for them to be included IMHO.

back

Gosh ...that's seriously shiny

Good luck with sorting out your seat issues.

I don't know this particular car but hopefully someone will be along soon who does. The only minor thing I would want to do if it was my car is to have matching tyres on back and front - given it has Falkens on back and 040s on front. You can read about tyres on here to your heart's delight ... but with this current set-up I think the general consensus would be to fit Falkens to the front as well. If you have more budget then there are other options ......but I won't bore you with that. Apart from that it looks/sounds ok on the face of it. The information given sounds credible...but I haven't had one long myself. More expert people will come along soon, I'm sure.
