For the most part, being on 11 points and rarely speeding helped. I got 290 miles from a tank last week - not great, but better...

VAG'd? I think you may mean VAG Com :) The serial-port software used to interrogate and change data stored in the cars ECU/brain. Anyway, the lights come on as soon as the engine does. Unsure why, exactly and I can't think of any real reason for it, save the fact that if you pass through a...

Jesus - ... a whole load of steel-headache.

Hi all. Changing headunits shortly and I'd like to get some advice on a new motorised touch-screen, single-DIN with usual outputs/inputs. Needs to be DVD and Mp3 compatible with good audio reproduction quality. Will be the backbone of a full install I'm taking on. Thanks guys. Things...

I've found shouting to be a viable solution.

Hmm... well to be honest, the noise is still there. Once in a while it'll start up.. and then stop for weeks! I've been told it could be the backing plates (suspension?). Although the garage that suggested it only has a few minutes to check because I mentioned it on the off-chance during a...

Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on Bonsai-Cars's website. They boast about being one of the major importers of the 350Z models. Interesting stuff, if nothing else. Could do a lot worse than a 350Z, without a doubt.. only thing that worries me is insurance costs. Reliability and performance...

Nice post, speedsix. Good points, well made. Know what'd be awesome? If this thread was left dead and buried now. Essentially, it has come down to personal preference. The boost-heavy LCR with plenty of tuning options or the high-revving, VTEC powered naturally aspirated CTR, a hardcore...

Yeah, it's my neighbour, Sam, who has the Focus ST1. (Before anyone starts on at me about ST1 being same performance as ST2 and ST3.. I know the different is purely spec/equipment based). The ability, or inability of the Focus ST to put the power down in the wet is a bit disappointing, to say...

Yeah, I must admit amccan10.. One thing I have heard from many and varied sources is that reliability is not an issue. Space, perhaps so. I'm 6'4". I have my seat all the way back in the LC which leads me to think the Coupe can only be worse. Either way, performance alone seems to have...

Yeah, please do. Root type chargers are the way to go with these, apparently. What was it producing with the charger? [email protected] for the video, I'd really appreciate that matey.

At the end of the day, Sheffboy is correct. It is hard to find and alternative to the LC/LCR. Meh. The 4x4 TT is a nice idea and I'd adore one.. maybe that's the route? Fcuk knows.

I'd rather kiss a girl, if that's what you mean :P

Why did you have to say that, Ant? :'(

Hehe. You're right.. I can't argue with you, Jonjay! You're like the voice(s) in my head. I was actually considering a C70 2-door Volvo T5. That's how bored I am. Sod it. Stage 2 incoming.

I test drove one 2 weeks ago. I loved it. HPI came back a bit dubious. Decided to wait and see. Plus the paint was a bit crap. Performance wise, it blew it away. It was a standard import.. 255BHP I believe (although in reality, probably less). The one thing that amazed me was the launch grip...

Precisely. I think the new S3 is too expensive - but there ya go. It's all relative. Pistonhead's will sell you a 2002 era 1.8T 20v 225 Quattro S3 for £13,000 - easy. Same price as a Focus ST. Audi S3 > Focus ST in pretty much every aspect.

I'm CO16, "A". Hence my premium, I guess. http://www.carinsuranceexplained.com/car_insurance_explained/insurance_postcode_risk.htm

I don't mean new S3. I mean 225BHP 4x4 S3 ;) God I wish. I remember a guy on here spec'd a new S3 to £31,000~
