Last year with 1 years ncb was 1200 for a standard car, this year with 2 years ncb is 1000 for my now tweaked car. It got cheaper because I'm a year older with another years ncb. If the car was still standard it would have been even less. I got my insurance through confused, I tried two others...

My springs? You mean? H&R

Well, thats up to you. When I told them I had lowered the car I also told them it had a different exhaust, itg panel air filter and a remap, plus various other bits and pieces. And it was 200 quid cheaper than the year before. But, as I was 20 when I first insured it last year now I've just...

Maybe not

Can't you click on the photos to make them bigger, there maybe small because i uploaded 3 in 1 post. 30 mm drop.

Mines on h&r springs, my family moan sometimes but I'm grinning, all the time. If they were younger they would be grinning too. If you're unsure you should go to a meet with a load of others, there are regularly clubs meeting up. A good proportion of club cars have been lowered, why not have a...

Up until about 45-50 mph yes but the faster you go the more nature tries to slow you down. Though unless you have an accurate timing system, an extremely skilled, experienced and consistent driver on a track like the nurburgring, circuit de la sarthe, or the original layout at spa (which was...

Don't they have bolts, not nuts. I'm not sure if their the same but the 3 rs has a thread of m14 x 1.5 I would think that they are probably the same. Call k tec or somewhere like that, they'll be able to tell you.

Extra resistance for the air under the car. (Drag)

I was using an example of why these gaurds help protect our cars. The way I see it if you're right is perished plastics in 20 years is better than a rusty car In 6 or 7. Perished plastics are a lot less likely to fail an mot. In wet weather crap off the road gets everywhere, why make it easier...

If you want it get it but I'd be booking it in for a cam belt as soon as id handed the money over, all 197s should have been done one age alone, a few hundred quid bill is better than a few thousand quid bill I think you'll agree. So long as you know that you need to get it done I see no...

You do that and you car will deteriorate a lot faster. Talbot sunbeams used to rust like mad because of having no wheel arch liners. It is the same reason, there will be no protection. All these gaurds are a big reason why cars don't rust anywhere near as fast. In the 60's you buy an average 6...

I have my headlights on all the time, they switch themselves of when I get out of the car. Headlights make me more visible to other road users. In my old car I was over taking a pair of cars and the one at the back started to overtake while I was along side its rear wheel so I had to have two...

That is mearly sharing a brake fluid resvoir. The systems can't be linked otherwise the both pedals would operate the brakes and the clutch. The from the master cylinders to the slave cylinders they have to be independent of each other.

Yes but a quaife needs some resistance on both wheels otherwise it will act like a regular open diff, as soon as a wheel leaves the ground there is as good as no resistance so it's effectively an open diff spinning all the power away through that wheel. A plate diff will slip a certain amount...

Take them off and paint them, I've painted nearly all of my interior trim myself, though I did it matte black it's not difficult. Just do plenty of thin layers.

Should be, I work with a lad who's done it to his without issue.

With my 197 it was fine until I had to drive 300 miles with the under tray loose which pulled the front arch liners loose. So ever since then they rub slightly when on lock, as I still owe people money I haven't got round to fitting new liners yet. It was fine beforehand but I had to turn...

K tec do a manifold but it is a lot more expensive than the toyosport one
