Do NOT use Admiral. They are the same company as elephant.co.uk. Online they gave me a good quote which was £80 less then elephant, this included air filter and exhaust. I called them just to double check and the customer service is very bad! They told me they will not cover an induction...

Cheers for that. I checked out admiral and they are about £80 cheaper then elephant and thats with air filter and exhaust! I will still phone them just to double check

Hi Does anyone know any good insurance companies, which are good at - prices, modifications etc? I am 24 with 2 years NCB and I hold the advanced drivers certificate. I am currently with elephant.co.uk and they are crap (they are only good for the 10mths for 1 years NCB). They was ok with...

I cant use the original adaptors as they recommend connecting it to the battery. Ok do you mean put it through the wiring near the bonnet release? Where are these grommets? Do I have to rip up the carpet?

Just wondering why we cant post anything about street racing? Cheers

Cheers dudes. I only brought the car a month ago so I assume the alignment is ok. Tyres are the ones that came with the car new so they are fine, its done 5,400 miles. I checked tyre pressures they other day and pumped up the tyres. You must have some balls to keep driving when it is...

Hi I am a new user so hello everyone. I recently sold my VTS for a 172 Cup and is it me or does anyone else feel the same about the following - Brakes are great for normal speed but when I am pushing mine hard I notice that when braking a bit harder at roundabouts the back feels like it is...
