excellent.

Just come back, had some boy racer in some sort of tuned 306 right up my bumper swerving all about trying to bait me into racing, well matey, I was in 3rd when we turned at the lights slow enough for you to very likely be in 2nd and I didn't even bother. He spent the next few miles doing this until he got fed up not being able to see and me doing eh the 50mph speed limit. So past you go then, to go an sit on the roundabout waiting for other cars you can try and cause a crash with.

Might be a silly question can you only pay for the upgrades in one go? or monthly? £2000 seems like a lot of cash gone in one go..

+1000000!

Think I would feel ridiculous if I spent that much in one go
But if it was monthly it'd just feel like my insurance went up

Good for you. I'm torn between the two. Struggling to justify £2k (including fitting) on the 185 but 165 doesn't seem as good value for money

Niceeee! Let us know how it goes

Yeah Steph 185 does seem better value for money, I wish I could have cams and valves springs fitted for 500 quid

185 is awesome. Just keeps pulling up to the red line. Once you used to giving it a bit of extra throttle when pulling away your fine. I think the best way to drive it is to be in a gear lower than you should be so its easier to access the power if that makes sense

I will probably end up going for the 185 eventually, won't seem like I'm spending £2000 then if it's 'just' an extra £500 on top.
