  1. Welcome to the forum. Looks like a lovely example you have ! Looking forward to updates!
  2. as someone who is planning to switch to this setup later in the year this info is dead handy. But it could you in simple terms compare it to the oem setup and how this is more affective? Thanks
  3. Great thanks i assume these lights don’t trigger any error messages like then headlights etc would?
  4. Have you got a link to where you got the led’s? Car looks well.
  5. Will join u guys for the belfast to north coast aspect on day 1. Super available in Northern Ireland but not the south. Bring octane booster maybe?
  6. Welcome to the club and sorry to hear of your poor start to ownership. Stick at the car as they are so very very worth it. Just my two shillings but I think previous owner knew rightly and was shipping it on as they couldn’t fix.
  7. Saved 50 quid on tires n gaskets lol. Seen on my local forum!
  8. Hey buddy need some gaskets it’s for decats to y pipe then y pipe to miltek b pipe and back box. Would you have what I need? Thanks
  9. Read through this & here is my 2 cents. I work for a large dealership so have a bit of incite into way px ‘profit’ works a lot has been mentioned on page 1 & above but anyway. £2000 profit can be broken down like this: £200-£300 approx for a warranty (typical 1yr major mechanical and structural) £250-£500 set aside to haggle with new potential customer or move margin into customers part ex to enhance the potential customers part ex £200-£500 overallowance to enable write downs as it is a specialist Car that dealer will expect to sit about for a few weeks before sale (especially this time of year) VAT then gets paid on any actual profit made. So yes yes the dealer will make money, how much money entirely depends on how long Car takes to sell, if new customer haggles a hard deal, if new customer has a part ex and what type etc etc it really isn’t as clear cut as ‘oh they gave me this for it, and selling price is this...’ money isnt in the price it’s in the finance the cars attract.
  10. Talk about when life gives you a lemon make lemonade lol!!! Fair play buddy and good luck with the build!!
  11. That’s cheap! Good luck with sale. I think that’s same one I got for mine. Fit of fiddling to get it to fit but good finish in the end!
  12. Is discount code ok for other products? It’s rear diffuser and spats time
  13. You ever plan to sort an up rated kit? Slightly tougher clutch n maybe a lightweight flywheel?
  14. All about attitude and approach. Years back I sold my s14a to a kid from Liverpool. Stepping out of a diesel polo and into a 300bhp s14a. I was early 20’s id say he was same. I asked him to take it handy until he got used to it. Off he went to get boat back to Liverpool. 3 weeks later I heard he binned it into a post trying to drift it on a public road about. Attitude and approach lol
  15. When I bought mine the previous owner pulled up with side lights on just at dusk. Seen the lights the bonnet bulge and knew it knew it had to be mine lol.
  16. Beautiful colour. Any more reflection or closeup pictures? Lovely and welcome aboard!!
  17. Stunning! My favourite wheel ever! And I love the fact you haven't went silly offset lol! You arent moving slow with the mods anyway lol!
  18. Beautiful!! Where did you get that lol??
  19. Think it's in case you twist the actual gear shaft and damage gearbox. Some of the knobs are real tight.
  20. I bought this system off ya lol. After seeing ur video clip, when I added the decats honestly you wouldn't think it's the same system minus cats.... it's very loud under load lol and I love it!!!!
  21. Actually no mate I have not had any issues. Nice n clear font in my opinion n makes a nic subtle difference. Known as metro font
  22. so had the car just over a year now and loving it everyday. Keeping it serviced and getting it slowly looks wise where I want it to be. Mods so far are decats Miltek cat back system pop charger Eibach Springs Eibach 20mm front spacers 25mm Rear Mines Replica front splitter Stubby arial The exhaust is just what I was looking for, loud when under load and quiet restrained normal driving. The pop chargers adds giggles n kicks too lol The spacers really helped fill the arches out esp once the car was lowered. Visually I am aiming for side skirt extensions and rear spats too. Few photos below spacers fitted, before and after STUBBY! Lip fitting : Lip Fitted (LOVE IT!) Bath Time Few Snaps from different shows, drives etc As mentioned long term plans are skirts and spats, maybe light tints and Cf mirror covers & Pillar covers Comments and thoughts welcome
  23. Very different looking! Looking ace! Will be awesome when lowered also
  24. Hi Ewan, My 06 Rev Up is just ticking over to 54k, I changed the oil n filter 6months (500miles ago) but am thinking a nice gearbox, diff etc service would benefit the car and keep with service schedule. Do you advise spark plugs at this stage? Thanks Can you pm what I would need and a link to the site?
