Cheers, will send him a pm. Don't think I've logged into ctro for several years.

Hi Can anyone recommend a brand or kit? There are loads on ebay, I'm sure will be varying quality. Some of the feedback was off putting, "lasts two days" "melted" stuff like that!! Seen Mccollough products, know they're supposed to be good, albeit more expensive. It's for my...

I sold my 53 reg pre facelift a year go, iirc around 60-70k miles for £5100, so would imagine you could pick something up in this time of year for your budget.

They emailed me back, saying wanted proof of ncb. It's 4 months into the policy ffs. I didn't have any details, couldn't remember who it was I was previously insured with. To cut a long story short managed to jog my memory and get it sorted. Just as well really, paying about £250 at the moment...

Yeah going to ring Monday, better to speak to a real person and find out. Just thought it was an odd thing to ask for, given I've never had to provide it in 4 years of riding and 12 years of driving! EDIT : Found it, crisis over lol

I took out some bike insurance in January. I recently changed bikes and therefore changed it over to the new one a few weeks ago. I got an email saying they need a copy of by driving license. Can't understand why they would need this, never been asked before. Also i'm 3 months into the...

Could it be the engine cover is loose? This happened on mine when it was cold.

Someone said about the top gear challenge. They also did one with a Renault espace type thing, put new suspension on etc. They did a dyno and it was down on power. from the quoted figure.

Is that in your own car or something else? I'm off the Oulton park Saturday, see my mate racing a motorbike :lol:

Pics/Vid from Rockingham Had a good day, although only stayed for the track part of the day. My neck was wrecked :mad: Corsa - Quite nippy and chuckable, although didn't like the driving position. Astra - Nice to drive, but oddly turbo didn't seem to kick in till about 5k, then woosh. VXR8 -...

My seats on my pre facelift ep3 are getting a bit shabby on the sides. Particularly the drivers side. See the covers zip off, but £600 is stupid money. Sure buying the seats from a scrappy would be a lot cheaper. I've seen the leather seats on a ctr, I thought they looked good personally, iirc...

It was more of a cost issue, in my own car. Petrol and wear on tyres/pads/disc etc. Also gives me a chance to drive some different cars. It's now gone down from £160 to £120, I've been credited the £40 difference :cool: Also going earlier to take some photos of the morning session. So I'll...

http://www.vauxhall.co.uk/vx/microsite/vxrtrackday/vxr_trackday.html Booked Rockingham on 27th June. Was going to go last year, but it was sold out. Should be a good day!! Always wanted to rag a car about on a track, just not my own!!

Same here, stepping feeling at low revs. Doesn't seem to pick up quite as well. Also after several tanks of 95 vtec is farily none existent compared to with super. One tank after isn't going to make much difference. I would say to people try a few tanks of vpower. As the difference is graduale...

I had a panel fiiler (k&N) in my bravo 1.8. Seemed to make a little difference low down. About the same difference from 95 ron to optimax. Thinking of an ITG one myself.
