Hmm, I was after £3,600 for mine and it has 59k and full history - so watch the price.

Thanks Iain - will check again tomorrow - it was changed a few months back but i've never checked the levels since then

Daft question - but where is it? Can't find it anywhere? I thought it was underneath the intercooler?

RB5 yes - different RB320 to the one I was thinking. Found a picture of myself..............awful slow photo though!

Admiral charge around £60 extra for a different exhaust system

Didn't see you - did you see the RB320? Saw a couple of silver classics and an RB5.....plus some non UK Turbos

11 1/2 hours door to door (including 2 hours on the ferry) - the drive home always makes me wonder why I do it...........until the next time when I've forgotten all about it. Were you in a silver classic?

I try to get there once a year too - it's always the drive home that is a killer! Oh yeah - cheap or mismatched tyres are horrible, I had Falkens (on the back) of mine and they were awful. The back just used to step out when you were least expecting it (READ - midly moist roads).

Dunlop SP Sport 9000 (or the new Sport Maxx) tyres - I have been very happy with mine. 888's are amazing in the dry but the wear is poor.

Very good point - when the car comes back in one piece it's a good trip! I did have a few 911's (997s) tip toeing passed me in the wet, annoyingly getting on my line. So glad I replaced my rear tyres, having matching tyres made so much difference - thinking about heading out there again later in the year but will probably wait until next year...

I think that is the conclusion i'm coming to - i'll just leave it as a 5 speeder. Ring trip was great - got a few good laps in and only one wet lap (which was horrible). How did you get on?

hmmm, maybe it would just be easier for me to buy an STI - does the classic STI come with 6?

After just coming back from the Ring this weekend I had this idea that I'd really like a 6 speed box as 5th doesn't seem long enough for paced cruising. Does anyone know if this is a very expensive option or even possible (in a MY00 classic turbo)? Thanks

I love my H&S exhaust - I cannot rate them enough.

Finally got them fitted on Friday for £91.80 each (including all the other costs). I tried both MyTyres and blackcircles but they both wanted more. Hope you can source some cheaper tyres...
