    Get one mate, I bought mine in November and love driving it every day. I'm only 20 and running just under 300bhp with other mods too (suspension, brakes, bucket, harness etc.) and the insurance is £500 cheaper than my renewal quote on a standard 318 BMW

    They aren't cheap on fuel if you drive them everyday, I do about 600 miles a month and average around 21mpg on super unleaded but then I don't have anything else to spend my money on and it makes me smile when I put my toe down

    Yeh id only have it as a toy tbh. something for me to do. I fix and maintian aircraft engines for General Electric at heathrow+abroad so im mechanically minded and love stripping stuff down, fixing it up etc and love my cars alot. Yeh id prob end up get a 3000 mile a year insurance tbh. wouldnt drive it til im 21 anyways.
    Just a matter of finding the right one now. After a 14a or get a 14 and do the s15 front conversion

    Picked the car up today, insured it for a week before she goes into the garage. Not as quick as I thought. Boost leak I think but can't hear it. Turbo-Manu gasket needs doing too but apart frm tht seems all good

    Sweet dont sell it tho!
    I want it to be a a comfortable 350 tbh and reliable. Prob have a rebuild next winter once body etc is sorted.
    Done:
    FMIC
    Cat Back
    Carbon Boot
    Stripped rear
    Started my campaign against rust - done behind rear bumper and started on 1 sill.
    Service - plugs, oil, filters etc

    Its SORN's atm so costing me nothing
    give me something to do when GF is at work over the winter.
    Do a progress thread soon.
