    Orbisoud story continues and other ramblings..

    Got a bit carried away today :shock: My exhaust (standard 'high quality' item) is making strange noises again.. So I concluded something had to be done! Then concluded whilst I am at it makes sense to do something on the induction and ECU side. ITG panel filter and KTR grp N ECU choices...

    ECOTY - Evo Car of the Year Competition review inc Trophy

    Evo 87 dropped through the letter box this morning; this could be an interesting read I mused... Very good read it is too; some criticism of for example interior quality and the relationship of second and third gear, which didn't strike me as overly critical, but also 'one or two' ;-) good...

    104

    Number 104 signing in, greetings and salutations. Have been lurking for a while, but thought I ought to register. Had #104 since June, so about 8,900 miles under the wheels now. Had intended to keep my full fat 182 (with cup suspension) for a long time but then my fiance told me Trophys...
