haha I know....

Its going nowhere from me until I can afford a mint 3 door...which will be never if 'er indoors has her say!

Glad you replied actually! Can someone please tell me what the max boost this thing can run is? Looks like a T3 turbo to me but i'm told its modified?! I can't believe it runs at 20psi!!!

Its booked in for a full set up, i'm not gonna be having a fiddle - so no worries there

Its done now - every mod listed...

If I insured it an xr3i, knowing my luck it would probably get stolen and i'd get all of about £300 quid!

Jeeesus mate - how did you make it go in a straight line? It's bad enough as it is! Wheel spin in first, second and third at 8psi!

It will spend its life in my warm carpeted garage only going out in the dry!



Doo one question, do I trust the fuel gauge or the computer?? - the computer says 0 miles fuel left and the gauge says 1/3 of a tank...I don't wanna run out of fuel if I can help it! Either the gauge is wrong or i've been from Chepstow to Southampton to London on £30!!

Fuel gauge/computer was fine when i had it mate but used to show about 12MPG

As from chepstow to southampton on £20 you must of been rolling down the hills TBH i think it would of used a bit more than that


Was a handfull to drive but loads of fun
