Good effort butty so do you do your own servicing then? I thought Indigo did it. Who does your alignment for you, I think I need mine checking it's a bit twitchy for me, like as if I'm driving a go kart too sensitive

Yes I do mate. Its the best way for me cos even a 4.5k service would cost me over £200 cos id use a tank of fuel getting there and back so what I do is buy my oils etc from ant and do the work myself.

Anything else like mapping etc and buying parts etc I always go straight to him or if I need to go there for something that needs tweaking then I will get him to service it while it there otherwise yea I do it myself.

Car is 10 years old and done 72k now so in my eyes not worth spending all that money when it's easy enough to do myself :)

Forgot to add that the tein type flex coilovers are now fitted along with the EDFC in car control box

Wow what a difference, nowhere near as much body roll as it had before
And in car control which is hidden in the cubby hole under radio is great for switching from soft around town to hard when you need it at the touch of a button :)

she was running a bit hot and my ecu has a engine coolant temp rev limit.

basicly the rpm limit was lowered to 3000rpm untill it cooled which explains why it was ok when i left track and went straight for slow drive down the road :)

hence the new rad and thermostat
