I don't think that the S15s have it either, so the Racelogic traction control is a good mod

Think so, but not sure. I'd like leather.

Tourings have leather, sideskirts and headlight washers. They also had a CD changer and a passenger airbag. I already have the skirts, and full leathers are £150 and are easy to get hold of. Its currently 260ish, but as soon as I get my new injectors fitted and a Horsham Developments stage 2 chip, i'm looking at 330bhp roughly

Cool, so the Touring is worth paying a few quid more for then.
I think I'd be happy with a standard one, especially over winter

TBH, its not worth paying loads for more. Apparently, the normal seats are very good compared to the leathers, and you can get leathers for £150. Sideskirts shouldn't be too much to get hold of either. The touring is quite a bit more to insure though!
I can spin my wheels just driving along when its wet. In the street next to me, I have to drive down it at 20mph, as if I spin the wheels, it kicks the arse end out and i'm likely to hit one of the cars parked either side

Insurance prices seem to be exactly the same for both, so I suppose it all depends on whether internet insurance prices are accurate
I'd prefer leather, but I see what you're saying, cheers for the advice

My friend was quoted £400 more for a touring . I never tried, so took his word for it
My friend picked up his S14 for £2400, so you should be able to get one for under £3k

I might well be Graeme, I need to get Vauxhall to tell me that I need to spend 900 quid on my C, then I can convince my mum that it's wise to sell it, then if he's still got it, I'll have a look.
I think I saw it on the SXOC or Driftworks site?

I got quoted 1384 for both, which, considering I'm 20, and still have no NCB, I thought was fairly good
I'll have about 4.5k to spend on one, so I should definitely get one for that.
It's that or a Delta Integrale 16v
