Hello. Been off here for a while as all was good with 014 until yesterday. Its failed it's MOT because of emissions. I did see it before but... the CAT is missing and the down pipe from the manifold is welded onto the Milltek exhaust. Looks like someone removed it badly. Anyway is the new cat...
Just got mine… Check tyres fitted and condition. Needs Michelins or top brand on the fronts £200 for 2. Also look for worn engine/gearbox mounts and a gearstick that moves about too much. still learning
Had my Aux belt done. Much smoother and quicker now.
Got some camber bolts on order (just in case they needed when aligning) and new Pilot Sports 3's on the way. As I've got a broken front spring I'm going to replace both. The cars on Cup suspension but I want to get springs that will still work...

Hello just got number 14. Very pleased with the car and the way it goes. It's my 1st decent fast 'new car' having always had classics. I'm 42 so not a real racer type. I think it will fit in well with some of the oldies own. Only poor areas for road driving in my opinion are: a bit of movement...
I'm looking for a set to refurb in the future or for the right price a set that have been done (with receipts) and no more than a few thousands miles on.

As it says. I'm after a set of front dampers.. They can be in need of refurb or just used but working ok. Open to offer of what you have available. Thanks.. Send me PM offers please.
