    200 cup alloys

    Glad you think so, was starting to wonder if I'd made a bad call. Look a bit smaller for some reason not sure if it's just because of the colour! Happy with them overall though!

    200 cup alloys

    Still had standard springs in the first pics, got my eibachs on the front finally now. That's why it looks so high

    Cant get into 3rd at high revs sometimes

    Ok good to know. With my synchro already giving me problems, will using good oil and changing frequently prevent it from going completely? Or just delay the inevitable?

    Cant get into 3rd at high revs sometimes

    Mine does the same in 5th at high revs. Really annoying and worrying. Anyone recommend some good gearbox oil to help with this?

    Posting photos with iPhone

    Ahh right okay. I kept using the URL link and kept getting an 'error' message. Cheers, Gez!

    Posting photos with iPhone

    Can someone please tell me the best way to post photos via iPhone? I used to just add little thumbnails until it said I'd reached my limit and I've tried using photo bucket and the URL never seems to work? Am I just being a fu**tard? Thanks

    Pondering new exhaust... Options??

    I personally can't justify spending double the money on the Akrapovic. That said, it is supposedly the best for sound and performance but can't say I've experienced either. I've just bought a mid-silencer delete pipe for £30. Sounds pretty good with just that done, will probably be enough for...

    197 Electrical Gremlin

    Same thing happened to me today along with a 'check injection' notice... Very eager to discover the cause of the warning/s!

    Check injection/check ESP

    Driving home tonight and a 'check ignition' notice appeared immediately followed by a 'check ESP' notice and the ESP light and spanner lights coming on. The car was driving weird too, something with the revs, couldnt quite put my finger on what it was but it was almost like the throttle wasn't...

    Few before and after pics

    Yeah I spent a few hours today polishing her, was really pleased how shiny I got her! Just using some fast wax! I was in two minds about whether to get the sprint or the cup, and I saw this on eBay use on the right colour so went for it, got it for £180! Fitted it and thought I'd made the wrong...

    Few before and after pics

    Yeah I know, they really do look awful, look worse in pics than in person tbh though, don't really notice them! I'll just colour code them because they're actually quite useful!

    Few before and after pics

    So I bought it completely standard other than the ugly aftermarket parking sensors in the rear bumper about 8 weeks ago. So far I have fitted a cup spoiler, sprayed the grills and rear diffuser black, lowered on eibach pro springs (only the rear at the moment as I had some trouble removing some...

    GW 200 cup

    So I'm driving home from work, stuck behind a line of 5/6 cars when I look in my rear view mirror and see a GW 200 come flying up behind, overtaking around 3/4 cars and tucks in behind me. We drive along and come to a roundabout I'm going straight he's turning left, pulls up beside me, stops...

    Speeding in Italy - points on licence legit?

    Dated February 2015... So it doesn't look like its legislation yet, the fine you'll probably have to pay! I'd contact citizens advice if you're unsure

    Speeding in Italy - points on licence legit?

    At present, it is hard for countries to track down foreign drivers who break the rules as information isn't shared. But for the first time, each EU country will have a designated 'national contact point' in which prosecuting authorities will be able to access a database to trace foreign drivers...

    To buy or not to buy

    I've had mine only 2 months and absolutely love it, came from an economical 1.9 diesel and tbh, if you're only doing short journeys who cares, even if it gets half the mpg over 5/10 miles, is it really going to break the bank?! I have a 36-mile round trip commute on a mixture of nice steady B...
