And I hated the handling of mine until I raised the front, I think theres a more positive feel the back being lower as it's more planted for us non-stig-expertised-up-drivers lol

a bit on overrun yeah lol but my exhaust is quite restrictive (back box I mean), I've got a powerflow custom centre with a quite small silencer but the tailpipe on backbox is a big ovalish thing but with 2 small exit holes haha.. they aint very big so I rate the flow is pretty shit. was on the car when i brought it

Lotta people round my way do that, doesnt seem too healthy!! lol..

Latest trend is floor the gas as you turn the car on and keep it floored see how many pops and bangs you can get outta your airbox without blowing your filter out haha (or blowing a hole in your cone filter!)

Rev the engine, flick the key off then on.

Makes the car do a hell of a backfire, will get a cool flame from the exhaust too. Cant be good for the engine though, first time my car has done one was when my brother did it

Whats next mate?

When you have had one decent car (your old one) you can never recreate the fun with one the same.

I found this when I sold me Nova GTE

When I first put my green stuffs on and tried to bed them in, I had to pull over a couple of times as they just did not work AT ALL! lol... but to be honest they've been good since then, I've got std 1.6 spec calipers, grooved/drilled discs and ebc green stuff pads and compared to standard pads and discs I had, it hauls up LOADS quicker Quite good for non ATE 256mm stuff I think
