thats about right. i have access to a very good trailer and my fourtrak 2.8tdx is an excellent tow car. usually give £20-30 to my friend to use his trailer (depending on mileage)and charged £1 a mile on top of that to collect a ford ka from durham.
nice choice of colour think i may need to pay that bodyshop a wee visit for a stone chip on one of the wings thats not looking too good on my urban grey hawkeye
No kidding. i took mine off the road in december to avoid the winter roads.. driving theA70 from carnwath to balerno every day for work it would have been ruined. bought an old ford ka for £400 (YUK!!!!) to run back and forth and glad i did one week into driving the ka and i put it down a pothole... domed strut tower, mashed top mount collapsed damper snapped spring and drop link and burst one of the lower arm bushes as well as denting the steel wheel and cutting th tyre open.. thats on 65 profile tyres. all fixed for less than £100 if that had been my impreza i'd have been off to see the bank manager to fix that.
still running the ka now as the roads still haven't been fixed. not even tar shoved in the holes plus the small matter of £435 to re-tax it and a grand to insure it means i'll need to hit bonus and do some serious overtime to get it back on the road
as for petrol pffft
time to leave the country lol
running re070's here as well not by choice as the car was supposed to be tucked up this winter it's not getting stuck but it's very very twitchy and when on compacted snow it's sliding all the time... nearly binned it this morning as the road sloped to the left and the car tried to slide down to the fence can't afford winter tyres DOH!
i tried to get the money for fuel vouchers but the buggers keep sending me gift vouchers for buying gift vouchers in the petrol stations....
had 3000 points redeemed to give me a £15 off voucher which i have no idea what to use on and would much rather have the money off my fuel
oh and btw 3000 points is 1500 litres
hi all just wondering if anyone has a prodrive downpipe that will fit my hawkeye sti as it's just been for it's mot and failed on emissions.
the car is currently running a full miltek 3inch resonated system with a 200 cell sports cat in the mid section but it seems it's not working as it should as grieves in falkirk tried several times to get it to pass but no luck
so bit of a longshot but does anyone have a prodrive downpipe with the sports cat on it that i could use to get it through it's emissions?
thanks in advance
Lewis
i concur, my hawks steering feels far too light and any improvement in that area would definately be of benefit, as at kames it didn't give enough feel during turn in, though that might be just because i'm used to fwd cars?
