Type R and VTEC owners

Yeah I've seen his name pop up a lot. Will get the car first and see how the power is. The Audi is lovely for overtaking but the box makes it difficult at times.
 
I've S2000 brackets at the back are flimsy and will rot away.

My car hasn't use any oil at all in the 3000 miles or so I've done in it. It's also still that clean shade of light brown.
 
I bought my DC5 with 33k on it, first time I checked the oil and it was just on the bottom of the dipstick. It went through 1 litre every 500 miles, sometimes less. A few garages suggested getting the head off and inspected, probably valve stem oil seals or similar. It carried on using oil at that rate up till around 90k when I wrote it off. Never bothered having the work done and never had any issues either. That's not to say the engine was the healthiest though.
 
My DC5 was also quick on the road. Noticeably quicker than similarly modded ones and it pulled a decent gap over my mates modded/mapped FD2. Of course none of this is scientific evidence. :)
 
Dunno, just applied for a job 5 miles from my house. Could chop it in for a 2.4 petrol I guess. Being honest it wouldn't be used for much other than commuting so I'd chop it in I think.

Let me get this right, you chopped in the Audi to get an Accord as it was costing you too much doing 30k miles a year, yet before you have even bought it you have applied for a job which makes the whole purpose of a diesel redundant? This is after you were asking about remapping said accord for more power and worried about smoke out the exhaust - but now worried about blocking a DPF.

Why not just have one car and drive the S2000 for a 5mile commute?

Who said the Audi was costing me too much? Let's get this straight, I change my mind nearly every minutes be it cars or jobs. I'm currently doing 400 miles per week minimum hence why I bought the Focus. I got bored of putting £65 in the Evo sometimes 3 times per week.

But yes just having the S2000 would be a consideration, probably the most sensible.
 
Pretty sure Des paid somewhere around £800 for his a few years ago? I must admit, the worst thing on my car by far is the hood, I can stomach £280 but not £800!
 
£280 for a full roof, how long did it take?

Not knocking it, but why are some companies charging £800? Unless I'm missing something here, something has to give, be it quality of the material, the work, or all the others are making a fortune per job? Can someone enlighten?
 
I'm not suggesting it's a con, but I don't understand how company X charges £280 for work that company Y charges ~£800 for.

I think I paid just under £600? Was a few years ago so not 100% on that.
Mine took an entire day to fit.

Was fitted by monsoon roofs somewhere near Brighton I seem to recall.

Just found this

Price seems to have gone up a bit.
(that might even be my car in the pics :) )

Ah, I thought it was £800 for some reason, maybe I'm getting confused with the clutch on your Evo V.
