:lol: we need to get a vtec cd, thats the closest we will get man...
Haha aye think that will have been it on the way out, either way can't be bad for £30 probably would have been the original centre section on it anyway?

Yeah cars good man no problems anyway, got a few wee knocks. Either bushes, track rod ends usual stuff need to get them check out but nothing engine wise or that :nice:
Im having to travel 70miles each day for uni so was just wondering how it would hold up but yeah its fine. Off for study leave so will miss the freezing mornings except on exam days lol
Your all good except that evil lip and dodgy exhaust? Ha

Haha, tell me about it :(

Yeah, scared the **** out of the woman i was over taking, just heard a kinda loud pop noise, looked in my mirror just in time to see the flame and the woman behinds face hahaha. Its actually a newish midpipe, was replaced a few years ago, got the reciept for it.

Nice one man, you'll always get the wee knocks, they are 12 year old cars after all.
70 miles? Must be hell on petrol haha. I thought i had it bad :p

Yeah, mines is all good bar those, got a knocking too, but again, i think its just a track rod end haha.
