Drove it into work this morning, got to make sure it was okay before 2.5hrs to PoL! So an hours drive in wasn't bad just noisy. I just hope the new seat doesn't make my back ache. Missing the stereo but earphones are okay for short stuff and maybe headphones for the longer trips to drown out the cabin noise. Grinning like a daft thing when I opened it up, it still has it :D

They're addictive things, I couldn't resist some boost after yesterdays mot pass.

I am based in Yeovil, Somerset. Used to live in Kent, still have friends there, looking at doing a trackday at Brands Hatch with my good friend JimmyCoupe :)

I bought his Starlight Silver mk2 180 last year, she needs new brakes, new brake fluid, maybe braided hoses if I can stretch to it. The car has a quaife fitted so the track is an ideal place to really try it out..... :)

Glad you enjoyed yourself, there is just something about these cars that just makes you smile every time you drive :)

they are great cars on the circuit and if driven well, can embarrass more exotic cars!

The quaife will be OK, being a helical diff it can still go 'open', but will be a nice touch.

its all in the pads, well worth spending a few quid in the right place :)
