About bloody time 
3 Points (all IMHO):
1:
2: Have you heard of a bucket and sponge?
3: Needs lowering a tiny bit (specially at the rear)
Overall:
(nice background shot on the 6th pic down btw LOL)

I heard size doesnt matter, its how you use it that counts 
Well, when I've got the spare pennies... maybe I can make room for a Mallard Green lux myself
Enjoy!
(you lucky barsteward)
PS: Anti-lag??? **** that unless you enjoy rattling through turbos in a short space of time!

It's sitting on adjustable KONI's and i have wound the rear down, but strangely it seems to loose it's flexibility, a bit twitchy, so it's gone back up and just adjusts, via the throttle. I absoloutley love it, the steering is so direct, old school but point and squirt direct. Next step is a bespoke ECU with anti-lag and it's about perfect.
The standard ECU will do ALS, and launch control in fact.
Speak to either Ahmed Bayjoo or Motorsport Developments and they can sort you out a set up with it on the EEPROM. Motorsport Developments will probably be the easier option as they have a lot of stuff mail order and designed to be fitted by the customer as well as by themselves.
You'll only be adjusting the damping rate of the shock absorbers when you turn them down. You need a set of -25mm springs but don't go any more. It will sit fine then.

If you ring Motosrport, you'll probably get through to Will who is workshop manager and ex RC Developments. He'll be able to give you a good idea of what it'll cost to fit ALS and other goodies to the car. Anything indepth and he'll put you onto Stu or Kenny who design and make all this stuff work.
Phone number is 01253 508400 if you want it.

a mate is trying to sell his but keeps getting messed about, nice cars mind but i dont feel i will ever own one as i think i might be disappointed a bit due to what i have now, i would rather keep them in my head as a "class car" rather then end up having one and feeling it was a class car that let me down, same as the intergrale evos

To be honest, I was a bit dissapointed when the pics got posted up - I was expecting a nice bog standard example - correct wheels, lights etc... Don't get me wrong, it's lovely - but think there is much better out there for that sort of coin!!

Good luck i can guarantee you cant. People who know me on here know i only ever buy the best quality and proven cars for myself. So when i sell them on i get the right money. I felt the same, when i viewed your scoob, very dissapointed.
