Mine is due to the tensioner really, but even before that it was whiney.
Sound good on song though 
Car is welded up, still need to seal it and put the tank back on though.

Update with the pics from GC:
New wheels:
Took a video on friday, ignore the idiot in the back shouting at the end
Anyways, plans now:
Exterior:
Try a yellow rim on the 205 wheels
Respray the rear bumper, and the drivers wing
Morettes
Interior:
GTI leathers
Engine & suspension:
Spax springs & dampers
Upper & lower strut braces
New wishbones
New rocker covers
Catcams 708's
Remap + raised limit
That would be it for me

Nice, I'll be after some morettes in the near future. Don't fancy paying brand new prices for them though. The 205 wheels are such an improvement, it's a whole new car looks wise, sets the yellow off a treat.

Cant have them on the car yet though, havent got the right bolts, and the tyres on them are pretty poor, will swap over the tyres from the other wheels though.
Aye, prices for morettes are crazy, £200odd even for a second hand set.

Lower strut brace bought
Bidding on new suspension
If i win that, then il buy the wishbones
Then when that all arrives, I can fit it all at once, along with the VTS brakes.
Lovely

New wishbones ordered too, so a whole new front end suspension setup really

I want mine slightly lower at the front, might go 60mm myself. Strut brace might disagree once its fitted though

How much did you pay for the 205 wheels? I have been offered a set for 110 delivered.
Also they much heavier?
