Why would you not? On Ben's track biased car, makes much more sense to remove the ABS than to keep it.

Sorry, what I meant was that if the stitching in the seat fell apart then VW would still have to fix that, regardless of remap or not. However, if they do routinely scan the ECU for remaps every time the car goes in and then grass you up to the finance company, and you have to cough up the entire sum then and there, I don't think I'd be buying a VAG product again. Not that I can't see it from their side: Indeed, it makes sense, I just don't think that's a particularly nice thing to insert in financial agreements. Gearboxes certainly shouldn't be covered if you've had a remap, there's even an argument to not cover suspension components as the extra shove could cause wear and tear on those...

A car is never too old nor too used for modding. If stuff needs replacing or refreshing (suspension, interior etc) then you simply upgrade rather than OEM it. Job's a carrot

Best reason to either never have them, or put it off as long as possible!

The MU65 ANG one. Tacky as hell. Your one is fine bud, it was more a reference to that thing.

Hopefully yours will have a better number plate on it! Riviera GT3

Depends on what the finance agreement says. I've not seen any that specifically prohibit remaps, but then I've not seen them from all companies. Remap would only invalidate the bits it could break, i.e. powertrain and engine. If you had a seat fall apart, for example, that would still be covered.

Nope. Only mods that can be proven to have broken that part of the car (i.e. if you whack the boost up and the engine goes pop) will fail that particular part of the warranty. In the case of the IC cover, you could remove it but when it gets peppered with stones and needs replacing Ford won't be interested. You can also get your car serviced wherever you like using OEM-quality parts, and the warranty remains intact. Does the FRS look a little staid next to the CTR? Yes. However, that's a good thing as the CTR is the most god-awful butt-ugly Halfords-parts-bin-special car we've had out in a long time.

Finance on the car means nothing. You purchased in good faith so have clear title to the car: This is the finance company's problem, not yours.

Sod insurance, I'd be taking them to court for the lot.

We had some extra leaves on the floor. Chaos, I tell you!

I suspect you have significantly better throttle control than most

^^^ That. I'm not trendy in the slightest, but even I like those at shows.

S2000 plus some choice upgrades? I know you said no Vtak yo, but they're genuinely good cars. You won't get a decent TVR for £12K, not any more.

There is that too... Last time I pimp your place out then!

Cancel and buy from CS instead?

Is it last year again already?

I just went on the first line, where they mention about adding VAT and shipping later.

Add 20% straight away for VAT.

Social media really killed these things. They used to be brilliant, invite only, some great characters and cars, but now that every man and his dog turns up the police rare involved straight away and the fun is killed.

What was there?

They go when they go. Depends on usage more than anything, so impossible to quantify. Personally I change by 100k if not before, but if you feel yours are going then change them.

I nearly said Elise, but ruled it out based on you wanting space. The boot is bigger than you think, but still not 350 levels of size. Monaro would be a hoot, definitely. Mk2 TT V6 DSG as an off-the-radar option? Good looking, beautiful sounding engine, nippy enough to be fun. Not the last word in dynamics, but a solid car.

You're a fraction below used Cayman money there, that'd be my choice. E46 M3? Impreza?
