  1. Yeah, that's one of those "how big is your yardstick" things. I remember going through a thread on the IMOC forum over this very conversation. The oils that we buy are premium, well they should be, and they are designed to look after our engines very well. The engine wear, once broken in, of decent performance cars is at a minimum and most of the carbons are burned off in the engine as long as it is used a couple of times a week. Mileage dependant once per year is more than adequate. If you are doing 12k per year then I would definitely recommend twice per year as about 8k is the maximum I would take a car like this. When you are doing a limited mileage of 0-8k once per year is absolutely plenty. There are obviously exceptions to this. I would ALWAYS recommend an oil change soon after any trackday or major 1/4 mile day. At these events if the engine is pushed the oil will be seeing high temps, as well as the coolant etc, and wear will be a little premature. For safetys sake I would always do a full service after such an event. In JPs case I would probably recommend servicing every 3 months
  2. You missed out twin sidemounts bud. I expect great things from you on that front.
  3. The bonnet is open by the looks of it
  4. Very few buyers on the market. In fact I've only really heard of one and, from what I hear, he's a bit of a nasty character. Pretty sure you could strike a nice deal but I would be a little worried about the small print.
  5. You won't need to strip the car mate. You will definitely need som road going slicks at a minimum. Decent rear suspension will make a massive difference also. Above all the most important thing is practice.
  6. Oil changes are down to mileage for me, not time. I would want to know what the yearly mileage was though. I only change my oil once per year, but I only do about 1000 miles a year so I think I'll be fine
  7. A couple of souls. I'm always on the lookout for more though
  8. As above. The valuation is based on the car being as it should be. There are some worrying features of your car that will effect its value significantly. I would recommend getting it finished, getting it verified and getting some proper shots of it all along with a full spec list before advertising it.

  10. I picked up on this, please don't take offence.... 11s will be hard to hit in BPU mate. It takes a well setup car, specifically for drag racing, to get into the 11s. Just in case you were thinking that a street trim will do the trick. Fair enough if you're properly going for it though
  11. 01001000 01000101 01001100 01001100 01001111 You clearly like the use of 1s so I thought I would use the 0s too
  12. Ooo, is it free? Looks lovely, I've always fancied a SAAB. Almost got one over the Mondeo to be honest
  13. I'm always there or thereabouts
  14. I'll let you know tomorrow bud, before you ship it out. That way the little crying girl might be put at ease
  15. To also add backing to that we serviced and overhauled the Red Arrows Adour engines for years (Rolls-Royce EK).
  16. Scott

    Car ID please

    Ahh, it's Alex that has me on ignore
  17. Will check tomorrow mate, I'll try the stock rad cap on it. As far as I know the ASI just takes a stock cap? If it doesn't I don't have a cap for it lol.
  18. I was hungry and needed a push!
