    so since getting the gearbox done, if I'm accelerating hard and turning (like pulling onto a roundabout) I've started having a big drift / oversteer changing from 1st to 2nd!!! it's a bit nuts think i need to stiffen the shocks at the rear a touch...

    ah cool - will keep an eye open for them, cheers Dave Mate, my standard box is 3k rpm at 60mph? Problem is, almost all other cars are 70mph at 3k rpm, so makes the mb6/mc2's a bit high reving for motorways. On saying that, Dawns deck (1.6) is exactly the same......3k at 60mph I used to get 56 at 3k? (never like to go past 3k on a morning until she's warm, and used to get cars sat behind me).. not much difference to standard, but better than the s80

    so i finally got around to popping in these door cards (a few weeks ago) from the mg - wish that the rear doors didn't have manual window winders looks much better, and there isn't too much of a clash with the ones in the back.

    had a drive down to darlington tonight after work to do an ebay collection (baby, not car) - about 70 mile round trip... took motorway there, and a roads home.. lots of slow drivers that i had to overtake - and a bloke in a golf GTI that tried to overtake me on a roundabout with only 1 lane exit!!! - TRIED... the look on his face when he had to slam on the brakes and slot in behind. he was fuming! didn't see it for long though I love my gearbox

    5th still pulls nicely on the motorway. when I change to 3rd from top revs in 2nd (60mph... on the motorway of course) it pulls even better and takes off (for 10mph to 70) will try and get some more vids of different stuff
  18. dr_broon
    righty-ho... quick vid from today... change down to 1st, round a junction, floor it through 1st and 2nd to 60, then up to 5th. quite a slow change from 1st to 2nd though http://vimeo.com/49516181 can't embed vids to save my life...

    I remember reading that integra fit as well - but I don't trust my memory enough to have bought them yet.

    cool. well, have just done a mpg check over 415 miles - about 300 was driving gently running things in still, but the last bunch was heavy on the vtec and it's came out at just under 33mpg... pretty happy with that
  23. dr_broon
    it went the distance coz it had a hole in it.... toes crossed as well
  24. dr_broon
    I know... feckers! will just trust my own sponge in the future ahh well, if it needs a spray, I think it's probs the last panel (apart from the roof) that hasn't tasted paint since the factory, and there's a few stone chips now after 153k miles, so not all bad I suppose... just could have done without it after shelling out on the gearbox. oh, and MOT on friiday (fingers crossed) might try and get the video tomorrow
  25. dr_broon
    yeah - I remember bud... was thinking about it after it happened.
