What did you and your MK2 do today?

[Benzy]

Where from? is that a single bumper or all of them, also i have the chance of buying the facelift rear BTCC bumper and twin exhaust, would that fit my pre facelift model? I really hope it does, as i need that BTCC body kit, it just transforms the whole look of the car



thanks

That was just for the front bumper from seat directly

 

[Benzy]

Is there a pre and a post face lift btcc bumper? I didn't think there was a difference with them, only with the standard types?

And so it begins....
Filled Puk up with a nice full tank of VPower Nitro+
Got 30.4mpg on the way back, driving "sensibly". This is going to hurt for a while

You need a better set of tyres then bud lol mines useless in 1st and 2nd but starts putting power down in 3rd, only on dry roads mind you when it's wet any gear it will spin up

I've noticed it isn't as bad since I've put a brand new set of Eagle F1's on it, but still I think the car struggles to put the power down through 1st and 2nd. It makes me want to get a 4x4 car, as my buddies Evo FQ340 has literally no wheel spin at all, foot down it just flies!

 

[big eck]

Does the extra power actually get used though as I find the Cupra will wheel spin through 1st and 2nd and 3rd! And that's only stage 1...

The accelerator pedal isn't an on/off switch lol. You need to feather the throttle bud.

Use Tesco's Momentum and think of the clubcard points...
Got 29.6 on a run up to Leeds , again, driving "sensibly"

Balls to the wall is a tried and true method?! Haha

I've been using VPower in the CR170 and MR2 so I'm getting quite a few shell points. No Tescos around for miles anyway

 

[holmefield]

Just bought me a low profile trolley jack this morning, so now it's just down to pure laziness as to when I fit my front & rear spacers...

 

[Jarre]

Booked my car in for 17th jan to have all the suspension looked at properly and a proper 4 wheel alignment carried out again. Hopefully that'll sort all my issues.

I use Tesco 99 now too, I used to use V Power and redeem the points but over time the "rewards" I got seemed to get less and less so I've sacked it off totally now, I notice no performance dip at all in switching fuels plus I'm saving money at the pump so it's win win really.

 

[shnazzle]

I like the idea of the Tescos points. But the closest one is like 30 mins away. Shell is next to work

 

[Crafoo]

Don't blame you for sticking with Shell if it's local, Tesco is a little nearer for me so I'll continue to go there (plus it's noticeably cheaper per litre), I don't even bother with clubcard points but might start, can they be used on anything in Tesco? And how many points do you get for a £70 fill up and what would that equate to in money terms?

Not sure how many points you get, think its 1 for every £2 spent. I get extra coz I've got a Tesco credit card, fill work car up on that and claim it back, pay card off every month, if I'm filling GF's Leon up use that too (which is often as strangely its always empty when I come to use it... ) we reckon we've had about £75 back over last 12 months just through fuel alone you can use them on loads of things, they do offers every so often, club card exchange gets you double or more off all sorts.
Better than sweet FA and as most of it (45-50k miles a year) is company funded happy days!

I might start with this club card jobbie then, can you use it when you do the pay at the pump thing?

You can indeed. You get a little key fob card that you can just shove under a scanner, as well as a full size one. You can link cards too, so your other half can have one. If you can ever get them to fill the bl##dy thing up that is!
