Totally agree, my Sachs are now in need of a refurb, however for the same price i can get a brand new set of coilovers which i am planning on doing. Really cant bring myself to spend that much money on refurbing an old set of dampers, seems crazy.
I totally understand, just got back from a weekend in Scotland, the drone from the decated yozza was not pleasant on the motorway miles. As its mainly a weekend b road car i can put up with the odd long journey. Would defiantly want something a lot more quiet if it was the only car.
Mine have not been done yet, still in good working order. 56k miles.Hopefully got a couple more years in them, although they do get some abuse on these rural roads.
Its hard to drive economically in the trophy, now even more so with the yozza. Honkytonk it seems strange you havnt seen much of a benefit with the remap, oh well at least its only a 5 min job to change back to standard.
Espace v6 airbox with k and n filter and samco hose. Basically a cheap Maxogen. Personally i think its a better setup than my standard airbox with itg panel filter.
Is the 1.9l actually that much quicker than the 1.6l? A friend of mine owned both and said their was nothing in it. Personally i couldn't go from the T to a 205 especially as a road car.
There was only one time I wished I had better tyres on the car last winter. We had freezing rain and the roads were literally covered in ice. I drove 10miles down the a49 to work in my e36 BMW which was terrifying, sideways the whole journey doing no more than 30mph. I remember their being...
So is the spam we see on a daily basis an actual human registering and pasting the spam onto the threads. Or is it a computer doing it? Is the same spam or usernames on other online boards? Surely if its a computer you can block it from registering as a member.
I would put it an account where it would be used solely for fuel and maintenance. And I bet it wouldn't last as long as you would hope. Boring I know.. ;)
I'm no computer genius but surely you can prevent the majority of the spam through the use of filters. And then anything that does slip through then just delete.
Jeeez thats some serious road rage, cant believe he damaged your car! ..as for punching you in the face wtf!? Hope your ok, and you get your dent sorted out.

^^ exactly what I've got. Airbox cost a fiver from a local scrap yard, k and n filter was about 30 quid. Bargain. Also got a samco hose, all in all seems to work well and is cheap as chips.
I always though it dropped significantly when you reach 25, and having just renewed now being 25 its not significant at all. I asked a guy who worked at admiral and he told me it basically doesnt, more like when you hit your 30's. :(
(Just) managed to buy my first house without having to sell the T. Soo glad I decided to keep it and wait a little longer for the house. No plans to sell in the next few years.
