Eibach 30mm Springs
Greenstuff Pads

Also they should be Dyno-ing the car before and after.

The hole in the wallet is a problem but it's probably better in the car at the moment, it could have been worse I could have held Enron and Worldcom shares!!!
I can't wait to get the car back, I am desperate to get on a track and let it rip, alternatively i've got to try and confince the wife that we need a driving holiday to Germany.

I also found the cost of mods is much more than you think. After I fitted a CD changer to my old cavalier all I ever got was "Well if you can buy a CD changer then I can buy..."

I think their R&D might be working on that!

That would be one essential upgrade - would I be allowed to add that on the signature?

Sure you can Si. Aslong as wife mk1 does not buy a Lexus or she may implement the Shutdown.exe on Ex mk1!!!

She knows where she stands when in comes to Lexus - that's my area - she's not insured on it, she is allowed to sit in it now and again and she always has to treat it with respect
