  2. What the fuck is all this about LOL! What happened with luke being removed as a trader (completely missed that?) And more on topic, what's the actual point of trying to hack into UKSC, what's to be gained from it? It's been fine for years, why does someone suddenly want it?
  3. Buy direct from MeisterR themselves and cut out any profit-making middle men. ;)
  4. I found that MeisterR coilovers on my CRX were perfect for the road. Many Japanese coilovers are designed for Japanese roads and race tracks which are a lot smoother than our shitty roads. MeisterR's are designed for UK roads and they're fully adjustable too. However if you want an alternative solution, you could use standard suspension and just uprate everything else such as anti roll bars, strut braces, anti lift kit, etc... that should improve the handling enough to be fine to use on the road but it still wont be great. The standard suspension is pretty poor though in my opinion. If I com
  5. Rover 200 diesel, R reg, 94k miles, 5 door, electric windows, sun roof, central locking, alloy wheels. Item Condition: Generally good for a car of it's age (R reg) Body - good, no rust, a couple of tiny dinks which are barely noticeable. Engine - 94k miles, it has been through two turbos and a "run away" but still runs fine, I have used it for nearly the past 12 months and hasn't missed a beat. I've given it regular oil and filter changes every few months, the air filter has been changed twice and the fuel filter once since I've owned it. Interior - generally good, aside from the top of th
  6. kitchen, sandwich, thx Men's insurance should be lowered as compensation for the past 30 years.
  7. OEM filter should be good mate just make sure there aren't any restrictions in any of the pipe work. Once you start tuning it though you will want more and more. ;) Diesels aren't just boring mile munchers
  8. Standard wheels painted gun metal or something like that would look better.
  9. You got potentially make this a pretty pokey car then, what sort of power is the standard fuel system good for? But with just a free flowing exhaust, upgraded intercooler and a remap it should be rather quick from A to B.
  10. DPF is in the exhaust just like a cat, but I'm not sure if this will have one or not. Basically you more or less want a straight through exhaust except for the back box. On the intake side, standard air boxes and panel filters are usually fine until you start going into big power. What's the intercooler like? (I assume it has one). I think these have a GT1749V which should be good for 150bhp?
  11. Is this the 1.7 mate? Get a decat and remove the DPF if it's got one, then get it mapped. Should go pretty well.
  12. Insurance is the biggest scam going, I pay a ridiculous amount for an old £500 diesel Rover, and I've been driving a few years with a few NCB. Yet a girl who can't drive for shit and has just passed pays £1000 less than me! So basically we're being charged £1000+ for having a penis.
  13. LOL, loving the engine and turbo just lying around in the house. Better than furniture.
  14. Don't worry I still have big love for Toyota's.
  15. Everyone hates Rover's. It's already had the boost turned up, decat, and a tuning box to turn up the fuel. I only said Rotas as they're fairly common (could get some 2nd hand), everyone on the Rover site likes to stick with OEM wheels and I fancy something a bit different maybe.
  16. Just noticed on the 2nd pic you can just see the front of my sister's Starlet.
  17. I actually really like these: But I'm not going that low, going to change the suspension to MG ZR TD shocks and springs so will only be about 20-25mm lower. Just want something a bit nicer because it's currently on some Civic wheels, I don't think they look too bad but they're seriously heavy!
  18. Couple of new pics (sorry about the quality, camera phone):
  19. Have you done anything for Rover/Honda? A lot of them use the same brakes (either 262mm or 282mm), might be worth looking into as they'd be compatible with a very wide range of cars (pretty much any Honda or Rover with a 4x100 stud pattern).
  20. Looking good mate, any plans for the engine? Single turbo? What's it like in terms of driving, after going from a small light FWD hatch to a heavier RWD coupe?
  21. It's an L series diesel mate, no head gasket problems here. ;) I do want some decent wheels though, I think some Rota Slipstreams wouldn't look too bad on it?
  22. Rover 200 SDi Can be bought for pennies, tuned cheaply, are comfy yet handle quite well for a standard car. Ignore what people say about Rovers, the L series diesel is nothing like those head gasket munching petrol K series engines.
