Just to let you know I won\'t be taking my car to the meet tonight, so if you were coming for a look - it won\'t be there.

I don\'t really think there is such a thing called reliability mods apart from water injection. The are plenty of other mods you can do but don\'t make the car anymore reliable.

wohoo. You\'re in for a real steep learning curve there then. You\'ll love it.

You aint wrong , mine was my first rear wheel drive , you\'ll think you can handle it untill you lose the back end while driving in a straight line  :eek then you\'ll really learn to respect the power

Best of luck mate with whatever you decide to do. Lots of help on here and FDUK.ORG. Good Luck. :flamed

the road was dry , however there was a little stream of water running across it and I didn\'t see it untill it was too late , luckily I didn\'t do any major damage just buckled a wheel when I hit the kurb

It took me a while to gain my confidence again in the wet , but I\'m glad it happened before I got used to really throwing the car around , it could have been a lot worse

It usually takes a near miss like this to teach respect for the rex in the wet, some of us get away with nothing more than a red face, some lose their P&J  I must admit though - I drive like a wuss in the wet even though I\'ve had the car for over 2 years now!

I vary. I drive pretty confident in the wet until I push it too far, then something happens to **** me up so I drive like a wuss until I get over confident.

I\'m stuck in this never ending vicious loop.

Another question if you don\'t mind... Is it just the replaceable parts of the engine ie rotor tips, seals etc that wear, or can you get wear on higher mile engines on the main engine parts ? ergo would it be better to get a lower mile car even if i was to rebuild the engine anyway ?

Thankyou for any response.

 :p back to the topic

Top bloke knows his stuff and sorted my car out a treat, well worth the 200 mile round trip for me and my motor. Definately recommended. He\'s going to be moving soon though if everything goes according to his plans.
