  1. are you looking at buying it?
  2. like the paint scheme, something different, works well
  3. i was 1 in 1982 born 1981
  4. i have the G200 which is very similar the only difference is the kink where the x pipe goes. i really like it, and its a very useable exhaust, daily driving its not intrusive, and if you give it full beans it does sound good. i found on stock setup if i went through a tunnel i didn't really have any noise. but this does give me that, and the car is very useable for long journeys. i also have the tyhpoon induction system and soon to have the corbonised carbon plenum and spacer. muddy has the same as me
  5. whats that in normal terms, i'm not very eurofied, need it mpg, kmpl is just french to me
  6. i'm guessing it would be around a 800 mile round trip
  7. yellow stuff is a good choice, not as hard on the wllet as the others but better than stock. and better than the red stuff pads. red stuff are equivilant to OEM. ferodo ds2500 are good as well, didn't ferodo offer another pad thats just below this one which was quite a good choice as well?
  8. fair doo's
  9. i'd have the m3 over the saxo anyday. it might be quicker but it still looks like a barry car i'd rather the comfort of the leather seats, climate control and intigrated sat nav and on board computer comapred to the tin can that is a saxo. they do make good cheap track crs though. strip a VTR out and race prep it and its a very capable little go kart.
  10. Cheers matey! Sorry I forgot to mention that Im an enthusiast, maybe a little too much but one nonetheless hey better a car thats been over cared for than one thats under cared for goes to jerry for meticulious service intervals
  11. best way to improve MPG is weight saving, so i leave the wife at home only kidding lucy i love going for a drive with my wife and shes only a small slip of a girl she'd be better off driving my car and leaving me behind, i'm the weight issue in our house
  12. you should see the performance figures when you add the new titanium monkey nuts and the improved beaver duct
  13. fairplay, wasn't picking on you for it, just felt for me that its not very economical oil wise. but if your mate reuses it then i suppose thats recycling for the environment covered i do lots of short jouneys too but i'm just a tight git i suppose just have to look at our service intervals, technically we service our cars every 18,000 miles with the p2 and p3 being full services. the intermediary p1's are just an oil change. so technically we service our cars every 18,000 with oil changes every 9000, what ever makes you happy jerry
  14. as they say, repitition is good for the memory, i got told off last time for telling some to go search it as its been done so many times before and we have like 100 threads on fuel consumption, each one saying exactly the same. and have refrained from the other comments on how some peoples are now doing 300000000mpg due to a new dolhin valve being fitted, or an uprated donkey flange that now gives them 100000000 bhp and 2000 mpg. they all have to start somewhere and i was in a nice mood so i posted a straight answer for once
  15. zmanalex or R35LEE are pretty good with parts. they should be able to sort you out with one.
  16. i just looked at the website and they say its just a buying guide for the 350 if the 370 wetted your apetite. is there more to it than that?
  17. lexus has something similar that they are suing as a lemans car or something, but they keep bursting into flames or something.
  18. i use bp ultimate alot and its good stuff, or occassionally use tesco 99 ron. shell 99 ron is good as well sainsbury premium is cack as is texaco

    Toyota FT 86

    not so keen on that, but i'm holding out for them to revive the FT HS project. its on its off its on and currently its off at the moment. but i reckon it will come back to life.
  20. if you've go tdecent oil in then you should only need to do it every 9000 miles, that why we have the short intervals. most normal cars go 20,000 before a service. doing them at 3k with silkolene is just a waste of oil as the stuff your removing isn't even worn in yet. i could possibly understand oil changing regularly if you tracked your car every other weekend but as a daily driver i personally think its over kill, especially when 5 litres of silkolene is about £55, thats over £160 in oil a year.
  21. i fill mine till i see it in the filler cap and level won't go down anymore
  22. i had an accident when insured with adrian flux in a previous car and they were fine.
  23. your fuel bill will be like your trip.... epic
  24. another biggie is the fuel you put in, i see a differnece if i put cheap stuff in.
  25. my MPG ranges from 11mpg when i tracked it, to 32mpg when i do long haul. and on average its about 25mpg for day to day use. i'm not to worried, i bought the car for its performance not its mpg.
