What did you and your MK2 do today?

[Benjic2]

I Just turned 20 today lol, £1500's awesome! Insurance on my FR was £2800 (Its only a TDI), Bloody rip off. Though ill be on 3years no claims when my next insurance is up, Better be much cheaper!
I Love all the astra Vxr's look so mean! Im yet to try DSG, might go test drive a cupra to see what its like

Happy birthday man

Holy **** 2800 !! Who are you with ? Try a quote with aviva... They have always been excellent for me, a grand cheaper than everywhere else usually.

Cupra's dont have the DSG so it will have to be an fr or lower model

I'm sure the new Cupra will be very nice and if seat release details soon then I might still get one. It will only be worth waiting for if it has DSG, the newer EA888 engine and a proper mechanical LSD!

How much it cost you to get the alloys powdercoated dude? Want mine done.

£180 for 4 17s.

It's £200 for 4 18s, that includes removing tyres, full refurb, fitting tyres, new valves and full balance too!

For those interested,
I went and looked at the Astra and they are beautiful, plus even better to drive. Feels a lot lot slower than my fr though which seems strange when the vxr is supposed to have 280hp and my fr about 300hp. ( checking the weight of both as we speak) but I'm sure a remap will sort that out.
With partners discount and vauxhall deposit allowance, I'm can get one for 23995 with aero pack, leather seats and sat nav which I think is a bargain. The deal breaker may be the lack of DSG style gearbox but I will have to see. I find out about my new job on Monday so if it is positive news I will probably go ahead with it

drove down the wrong side of a dual carriageway ( legally) after the police spun us all round due to a car flipping over onto its roof after losing it on the snow at 715 this morning.

roads were iffy but passable though driving was pretty scary

Is there anything else you need adjust once the short shift goes in?

I didnt need to adjust anything when i did mine it feels a lot better now so much closer..

Oh...I've ordered a forge one but haven't fitted it as yet. Spoke to one company in Portsmouth about fitting it. But they said I need to change loads of stuff. It just put me off because I thought it was a one off swap.

My pre fl is a straight swap can't imagine a fl is different. I'm guess they got it wrong?

Worked a 10 hour shift then came home to give both the leon and s3 a well deserved bath.

Also fitted some wind deflectors to the leon. Will see how I get on with them

They look great in the real. Saw a red one with 20 inch alloys going round a roundabout a while ago. Certainly had presence on the road and the arches seem more flared than they do in the pics. Shame it hasn't got a flappy paddle box though.

Makes a world of difference doesn't it?
I could live with a chrome grill, but the mirror would always have to go black....of candy white at a stretch

 

[ahmedelbaghdady]

I'm loving it

 

[tonto]

removed window sliders, refitted and alligned so the window is now working correctly and no longer falling out B-)

removed door lock, found the cause for it not opening from the outside, so stripped it down and built it back up. it works again, but for how long...well, 2 hours of my time is better than £100+ for the minute.
