sounds like you're happy with the purchase, nice one Tony and like R1 says, get a new clutch and the jobs a good un 

[tony83]

didn't think of it that way    felt fine when i drove it tho...

[ZX10R-RACER]

  guess what santa is bringing me.....

an R-tech re-map for me golf

[tony83]

yeah that would be cool, been looking on gti forums, that remap will take it to around 200bhp depending on year... more if you've got induction kit and zorst.... 

[ZX10R-RACER]

no, just standard like it that way, been though that stage of modding cars. Will be happy with just the re-map.

just out of interest what did you pay?

I've had mine six months, so time for a change....so one in one out!

you needs a car that is small inconspicuous and slow....saves your licence that way...I did the opposite for a few years and got 13 points in less than a few months...ouch...luckily I kept my licence but those days are done for me...I go for pure comfort these days....

my s class merc, from brand ne to 5 years old literqally had rust everywhere...was one of the first east german factory machines and they were just awful.....

CLS are nice cars and have my eye at the moment but just cant get into cars anymore...miss the zx10 r...the old v6 scirrocco was a magnificent car if you can get one....put that on your list....

Must admit im the same about cars now. As long as it will tow a trailer and a couple of bikes to a trackday with all my gear on board, its fine.

going to keep mine standard as well. remap may be done in a year or so if i feel its necc as going from a 60bhp fiesta to 150 feels awesome from the few test drives i've had so 200+ is silly straight away...
all i think it needs is one of those trailing edge spoilers on top of the boot to finish it off. they're not cheap tho as i've found out from vw. 180 plus vat then need to get it painted at the bodyshop!

cost me 4.6k from a dealer out in kings lynn going to get her on fri or sat depending on work...

[twostrokes]

job done....
