does the ep91 have a cabin filter? as my heating is plenty warm enough, but just doesnt blow out enough air! thought about changing it if it has one. where is it located?

well guys, the car will be going back as the repair is ok, but theyve left a run in the paint, i was gonna sort it myself but then i thought, fuck it, why should i! the c3 was ok actually... i was actually starting to enjoy driving it yesterday... it handled ok, but the brakes were absolutely immense. it was still gutless for a 1.4 tho, defo slower than the n/a. geo, mine wouldnt even do a ton! it struggled to anything over 70! ;)

its worse than i thought! i got one of these as a courtesy car!! o boy is it slow... its a 1.4 and its so much slower than my old n/a! BUT. the car is done and im going to be reunited with her tomorrow!

good point there, i didnt think of that one! keep em coming guys. rick, front or rear arb? seems like the majority (like me) prefer the handling.

mine are the ones that use a hid low and halogen hi beam, so the hi is not as good as the 130w halogens i was using previously

was thinking about this the other day, as someone asked me the same thing and my reply was "... errr...." i think ive narrowed it down to either sets of my wheels or my suspension setup. And why?-> purely for the difference that these two items made to my car, the lightweight 14's transformed the handling and response, along with my tanbe shocks and springs. just curious as to what other peoples are?

its a 150w amplified 5inch (i think) subwoofer bandpass enclosure. fits easily beneath my passenger seat. not too heavy either. havent had a proper play with it yet, so i dont know fully what it can do, i havent even turned up the gain yet and im more than happy with it!

its a tough call, i like the cruise one, but i'd look at it practically and want to keep my fogs! so i'd go for the varis.

i have a 6 k kit, but im contemplating goig back to halogen, as the dipped is amazing, but the full beam is not as good as i need it (country lanes etc.)

cheers buddy, you too! its getting repaired on his insurance company, he didnt drive off thank god! going into lc accident repair center in letchworth. get it sorted mate! you dribble. i got the sub from work for mucho's cheapness they retail at £79.99 (obsolete) i bet, glad jeff finally got sorted... i dunno what i would have done if i was in your position mate.

now thats a good question... shelly? si? any ideas? i cant remember that far back!

looking good matey. i personally think the wheels look good, but i sell them at work and theyre ridiculously heavy, so it would benefit you getting them replaced mate.

look good mate. probably best to keep the updates to your cars thread mate. if you like we could move it for you?

thanks guys.... i just hope i dont get one of these as a courtesy car..... i dont think i could live with the shame! (actually i hope its not a french car either! o god! getting your car repaired is so stressful!)

do it!

you just have to get used to it phil! as si says once you get used to it you can be soooo lazy with the old gear-changes, slide your seat right back, recline it a bit, rest your arm on your new interestingly named 'armrest' flick easily between gears, and pretend your driving a lazy-man jag. (without driving like a c*nt of course) you'll get the nack after a few weeks. looking great as usual buddy.

the sticker in the door of my v says 175/55/r14 if that helps?

ive had a n/a and a turbo, and i can honestly say that the n/a was just bomb proof as streetracer said, i replaced the engine at 105k because the valve stem oil seals had gone as it was just as much to get a new engine! the old engine is still sitting in my shed and still turns over after it being sitting doing nothing for about 2 years! the turbo has had a few niggles, but mainly due to me being fussy, apart from the handbrake being frozen on yesterday!

yeah well, i like having a few sets you just wait till your cars dirty next time!

yeah come on si... i know they were in four figures anywho!

it does sound a bit tractor-ish when driving in low revs. mine is decat, 2 1/4" stainless system with no midbox straight thru to the back box. as rick says sounds great at high revs, sounds bad at low.

this thread needs pictures mate. not too sure what your getting at without them.

car is going in for repairs on monday.

YOU SNEAKY SALMON! you best come and see me soon chap. if ya wanna sell the wheels gimme a shout, i'll take em off ya hands.
