Nah mate it\'s fine. I hope you dont think i tried fleecing ya. I gave you the problems i knew about atleast.

She\'s a great car. I love the fact that in 4th gear she just goes all the way up to redline but it feels like your in that gear for ages.

oh excellent, i didn\'t know that. I thought it would have had coilovers as standard, but these are all nice and blue an stuff jus wondered if they were either new or slightly uprated.


ta fella!

No i dont think that, i know you were honest, and to be fair i expected her to be worse than she is, being 20 years old an everything. but honestly shes brilliant. As i said, sorted the few trivial niggles an shes been fine ever since and i know what you mean about th gears, they jus seem to go on forever, i can short shift an still beat most things (especially audi a3\'s) between lights!

You sound very pleased with her mate, nice one This is making me want my TII finished, quite glad i didn\'t sell it when i planned to, the engine died and it simply wouldn\'t have been worth fixing just to sell... Shes nearly done!
What do the EGI\'s go like then? Obviously you\'re pretty happy with it!

Well all I got told from the moment I mentioned I wanted an EGI was that they aint the quickest in the wold and I won\'t be winning any drag races, but mine goes like stink!
When i hit the buzzer at 7k in third I\'m absolutely flying, I can\'t tell you how fast because I don\'t really concentrate on the speedo!

Good luck in getting yours finished tho, bet you cant wait     just curious, what did the engine die of?

NB: Don\'t ge me wrong I dont live on the red line, I do take care of my motor, but every now and again on a nice straight road, it\'s just nice to get the juices flowing... ...so to speak!

HUMMM blue you say - i dont think thats stock stuff to be honest

im a little confused now - but not sounding silly - so the rears look the same as the front - shocker and coil spring ??

Yeah the rears are blue coilovers, I didnt really get to see the fronts properly. I just noticed a sticker on the rears saying "GAS..something something....." then underneath that it gave the max and minimum pressures, if i remember correctly.
I just thought this was a bit of a strange thing to stick on standard gear!

i\'ll be at guys on sunday so you will be able to see \'em then if you wanna propa look

Yeah, secondhand engine. Havent pulled mine apart to check it out, but i will. Nothing made a difference, tried all the tricks on here, and still no compression on one stroke So new engine, rad & service and it seems to be ok, time will tell though. Still havent really driven it at all...

[grinder]
