Thanks, sorry missed your post it's from a Toledo boot
Cool photo to start!
Had a new set of tyres as the Maxxis wore out on the inside edges, took them off to find they had a weird egg all round the shoulder on the inside [:shocking:] so I'm glad that I had ordered some different one Hankook K107 S1 Evo this time. They feel a lot better than the Maxxis, but they're are a little wider (still 195/40 officially)...
So 4 people is now a bit of a problem (luckily only rim protector rubbed and no burnt paint)
Also got myself a snowfoam lance
Lovely car mate just spent best part of an hour reading full thread
Thanks nice to know people like it!
Some changes coming in 2015, here's a sneak peak of one of them:

Did a bit of spring cleaning under the bonnet, removed the yellow and tinted the corners orange:
Won't look like this for long though!
I'd had a few pipes pop off and found that taking my foglight out had reduced my max intake temperature from 90 to 70 oC so this setup should fix that and give me a couple more bhp too!
Unfortunatly on the way to work before picking up the kit some moron swerved onto my side of the road round a parked car and smashed my mirror cover They didn't stop but I got them on my dashcam so grassed them up to the old bill haha

Stuck my FR covers back on and spent the bank holiday weekend in Brighton:

APs were definitly better than standard when I first fitted them, wound all the way down but with all the adjusters etc in. (no helpers on these).
It's not great now, I'd guess I'd done about 80k on them so they are probably getting tired and they having taken out everything aside from the spring them are running lower than they were designed to be. Part of the problem running this low is if I'm going a moderate speed (as low as 20-30mph) with much crown to it it will scrape the subframe

You had issues with mot and no helper springs in?
APs don't have helpers, the spring is non linear instead
At the rear it needs the rubber top bit to the spring in just to make sure they don't wiggle when jacked up . They usually fall instead the spring a week or two after refitting as I cut them down from 10mm to 5mm thick
Sorry I read your previous post wrong. I get what you mean. Stance on this is perfect Matt!
Fitted the cooler, lots of noise now and massively reduced my intake temperatures , having a service in 2 weeks time then will be popping along to CC-Tuning for a dyno run and map tweak if needed and to map out the EML as I've removed the MAF and the ASV
