Bought it for a pound, sold it for £64, found a guy selling steering wheels by where I delivered it to and used the cash from the piano to help purchase said wheel.

That the guy from Rhyl Ian? Or were you picking something else up from there?
If you still need to pick something up from rhyl, im going to liverpool in the next few days, so can drop it off at yours on the way through if you want? As long as its not a boat or something

Wil be a weapon when its done. Mines bog standard just on different springs, and its done 100k and still was doing the 1/4 mile in same time as fiesta st;s at the weekend.
They have the same power to weight ratio out of the box. I had a play with one on the road up 27 and there was nothing in it.

16.3 up the quater.
Steve also do you no about the torque limiter/traction control in first? Its wierd into the speedo drive. Uplug it. I noticed it pulls harder in first. I tired and tested it at the weekend.
They feel very flat in first, and its like when you bang it into second it seems to have like twice the power which i found strange. Did some research and was told about the above.
Free mod.

Was a bit late by the time all the deals were done.
I read somewhere that disabling the first gear limiter causes problems with the engine management? I'm not too fussed really as I won't be spending much time in first hopefully!

Tyre Drive from the thread in T&FAQ
274 the set, delivered. They were bloody quick as well, only ordered them Monday night, they were here this morning.
Camskill were close on price but their ordering system is a nightmare. I mailed them asking for prices, they mailed back and said 66 per tyre including VAT (not sure whether that means it's included or there is VAT to go on) then listed carriage per wheel, then you go on there and buy £1 tyre credits and it's adjusted later. Couldn't be bothered so I just used the place who told you the price and took the money.
