  1. ^^^ This. I don't care about the looks or the practicality, but it's simply one of the best driving cars you can buy for pocket money. The mk4 Fiesta 1.25L was also a right little hoot.
  2. Tread pattern looks identical to the A2, so I'm guessing it's just a compound upgrade. Personally I'm not keep as I find them amazing in the dry but dreadful in the wet, and I'd rather have something that coped with both versions of the British weather, but some people do love them so if you liked the A2 you'll probably like the A3. BUT When MPS4 are just £57 more for a significantly better tyre in all conditions and one that will last longer, I reckon you'd be mad to buy anything else if you're at that budget. My prices also from Blackcircles, you may even find them cheaper elsewhere but that's the only place I looked 'cos I'm lazy
  3. Had them on mine for a while, but when you get fed up with them because they're filthy and impossible to clean (so about 10 mins ) they're almost impossible to remove without causing damage to the sidewall. Not damage as in undriveable, but it just looks a mess. I'd never fit them again, regardless of how good they can look. White stripes down the bonnet to match next?
  4. Depends if you want a sports car or a diesel Only teasing, I totally get where you’re coming from.
  5. What are you going to be using it for? As in, what functions do you need?
  6. Sounds very plausible to me.
  7. Easy mistake to make! Get some pics up then chop chop TAGL
  8. As with any engine cleaning, you have two schools of thought: 1. Do it. It'll clean all the crap out and you'll have a nice shiny engine. 2. Don't do it. Pulling off all that carbon may actually create issues if some gets stuck or take part of the block with it or it might even have been sealing a crack in there. Leave it alone. Now I've not done the carbon cleaning on any engines, but I have used oil flush chemicals before on previous cars. I had no issues, but unless you've found a company who will warrant that engine for at least a year (and tbh if I was them I wouldn't!) then personally speaking my own comfort of risk says leave it alone. I also don't use oil flushes any more either for the same reason.
  9. Although I’ll forgive the Zee if you’re American, I was picking up some Yank in your accent.
  10. ZED NOT ZEE grrr Nice vid. What’s ‘Reloaded’, is that the name of your channel? Need some better pics to see really.
  11. *grey Where's @ATTAK Z when you need him?!
  12. It's just a car. Sh*t happens, don't sweat the small stuff. And ffs don't make it look sh*t by putting some of the protecters suggested on here on
  13. I'll take it Right, gimme a min or two.
  14. Cup 430? Is that not the DPM knob?
  15. Think he's referring the Ultima, of which you can buy an Evo version with a thousand horsepowers. I'm more interested in why you'd bother going from a C6 to a Z06. You've been there and done that, it's not massively different. And again going from a regular Ultima to the Ultima Evo.

    BIG DISCOUNT

    Well, OEM generally means that they'll be aimed at being warranty-proof but without being spectactular, so better than some random Chinese guff sold for buttons but not as good as the top stuff we'd put on if trying to improve the car. In short, they'll do you just fine
  17. Right now? And assuming all new. GT86 911 GTS (or GT3 if I'm allowed unobtanium!) R8 That'd do. I don't have much interest in anything quicker than an R8 tbh, I'd much rather be buying older stuff I could exploit and tinker with.

    BIG DISCOUNT

    Depends on exactly what pads they are. Your question is a bit like saying "Are Fords any good?" when that range includes the Ka and the GT Pagid do some very dull plain OEM stuff, and some excellent track pads. If it's ECP then they're probably just plain ol' regular ones, by which I mean they're solid quality but don't expect any performance benefits.
  19. Still do but it’s the wife’s car so really she’s the chav...
