Esp when I'll be driving the faster car home so she can't catch up and beat me haha
-
Ha yeah I've been checking the route. Will be a pain. But shouldn't be too bad. Time will tell. Will be leaving at 3 ish. Although the wife isn't too keen on London driving. Haven't quite told her how far into London it is

I've found a lot of 'renewals' are actually an increase or such a slight decrease it's not worth it! Shopping around is definitely the best port of call. I've changed every year for the last 3 years now.

Ok all. So with the expected arrival of the MC2 tomorrow night and the fact I had to clean up the lancer to photo and list on fleebay for selling, I have ran out of shampoo. I have always used autoglym shampoo, but have just used the last of it on the lancer. And this being my first black car, I wanted to get peoples opinion on what shampoo to use next. The same again? I'm not in the market for ridiculously priced stuff, unless it really is a cut above the rest. Also, I'm currently using a micro fibre MIT and the two bucket method to clean, which seems to be pretty good and then stages of different micro fibre cloths to dry down. Anything else anyone uses?? Similarly I use autoglym high resin polish too and currently have a pot of dodo juice wax.

Area codes must count for a lot then!!!
-
Bloody hell that's a lot. Think my old man, 51 (complete different genre of car) has a new A3 tdi and pays something silly like £190!!!
-
Yeah I can imagine it being a real shitter doing that. Touch wood (and a massive touch wood) I haven't had that yet. Suppose that's a nice position to be in mate. And I guess your not reliant on getting one so you can hold out. But if there is ever one near me, let me know and if be happy for a road trip

Turning up and them being dogs?? Definitely an Achilles heel when they're rarer and rarer cars to find.
-
I will thanks Carl. We are currently half way through our existing policy so would rather finish this one off first, get up to 9 NCD and then look to change next year to a specialist.
-
HSD's will be going on then
-
What puts you off travelling so much mate?
-
Yeah it looks great mate. Will bear that brand in mind as and when the time comes!! Top job!!
-
There should definitely be a prize lol that's a great price. Esp with all mods declared.
-
That's looks really smart mate. What paint did you use??
-
Spot on
-
Productive day today then mate! Much better Has the thermostat sorted the idling issue??
-
Wow that's quite a difference! You think maybe is because it's a female??? I know areas can make quite a difference, although Swindon isn't the best of towns!! Have to say I think my quote is looking pretty darn good
-
Great info mate thanks!! So do you know whether coils from an EK would go on??
-
Well it's not quite as simple as that lol. I'm only 25 but the policy is under my wife's name (I had a 300bhp WRX at 21 insured under her name) so technically she has history of performance cars too plus she's 6 years my senior and has 8 yrs no claims Win win for me Just wondered what other ppl were paying and whether any of the site sponsors are worth having a conversation with.
-
Insurance. Should probably start another thread, but will just bung it in here for now. Who are people with?? There are a couple on here I think, sky and someone else. Just called my insurers to have it changed over, no increase, but a handling fee (feckers) So will work out at £370 for the year. Is this about right??
-
Knowledge I didn't know, thanks mate. The uprights are transferable though?? Although I think the rears are a little short by all accounts??
-
Cheers mate, will bear that in mind when the time comes.
-
Toe in/out can be associated with light steering too I think can't it??
-
Not sure if it's the same for M's and not sure how low you have gone, but some form of camber adjustment is usually required after lowering. I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that the top wish bones for an EK will fit. Of which you can buy camber adjustable ones.

Live the domokun!! Looks awesome.
