[Gravyboy89]

cheers everyone.... The cup is completely standard and has not been tinkered with in the slightest... If anyone has any ideas lemme no wa u think?! (I'm not doing anything to the exterior.... I just want to tinker with the engine)

 

[JON13S]

welcome to the crew lol. tbh i've just accepted that its a good car as is. panel filter, exhaust and eibach sportlines and sabelt steering wheel has made it better.

 

[Soulless]

Good man

 

[Iain C]

welcome abord, best choice!
Leave the engine and get the suspension sorted...
there is loads if info about tuning on here so dive in.

 

[nerosis]

who u insured with and how much mate?

 

[Gravyboy89]

I got insured for £1300 with 3 experienced drivers as named drivers on it that bought it down loads!
I'm thinking of gettin a nice air induction kit and I've got a set of RS manifolds. I'll have to see about the suspension.... I think its pretty sweet as it is atm!!! I'm cleaning it on saturday as I haven't had chance to yet and I'll post a few pics up on sunday... its immaculate for its age tho... with only one lil scuff on one of the wheels which is gettin repaired next month . Cheers for the welcome anyways!

Lol at your mum sorting out your insurance.

Is she the policy holder?

 

[Gravyboy89]

I know, I know, Not very manly! lol, I think she is as I needed to have a cheap year! I have two years NCB also which helped!

 

[Day]

It wont be cheap if you crash it and she goes to court

 

[Gravyboy89]

Protected No claims also but i understand.... I didn't buy it to rag it on the streets... the passion is the shows as well as trackdays!

 

[Blackrat250]

understand.... I didn't buy it to rag it on the streets...

Yeah yeah, No doubt i may see you about

 

[AndyT23]

If your mum's the policy holder and you're just a named driver I do hope you're not the one driving it all the time, tut tut! Why can't you bloody young uns put the time in with gutless motors first like I had to?! Don't you crash it or i'll take it as you being responsible for the increase in RS Cup premiums!! (I'm only jealous really, ignore me :rasp: )

Oh and welcome to the world of the Cup.
