Thanks, just the following:

Magifoam Snow foam
Zymol shampoo
Megs crystal polish (I think that's what it's called)
AG HD wax

Very cherry on the wheels but they have a good coat of wolfs rimshield so were very easy to clean.

At some point Ill get the machine polisher on it when I can make enough time for it.

Quick question, what size rear arb would be best to run for fast road driving and the odd track day without compromising the right too much? Thanks

If its a silver hatch with BBS alloys and prodrive exhaust, then that's me.

Cat D is the least serious category. It usually means that the vehicle has suffered light damage but the insurance company's decision to repair it is dependent on the cost of the repairs and the value of the vehicle.

If you're buying a Cat D car, there's no guarantee that it hasn't incurred chassis damage. You can find out for sure by investing in a full mechanical inspection at an approved dealership, or by RAC Inspections.

If you buy a Cat D car, make sure your insurance company knows about it, otherwise they might not pay up on any claim.

Yeah, the annoying thing is that someone is going to repair it and most likely not tell the buyer that its been heavily damaged repaired.

I've no problem with properly repaired cat D or C cars as long as the buyer is aware.

It does it by default. Put it in first, clutch and brake depressed. When you let go of the brake, the car will hold for a few secs while you bring it to biting point.

Is this a wind up?!

You get about 1/2 second of brakes while you fumble for the clutch bite point!

Japanparts or AVOJDM for the fender garnish.

Have you removed the second cat without a map, if so I'd remap ASAP.

Chaps which cat back exhaust would you recommend? The OEM one has to go, thinking of going down the H&S route. Don't want to spend mega amounts so no Miltek for me. Also I know this wont go down well but, does anyone run VA BOV's? Any issues? I've never had any issues with my blobeye (although mapped).

Hi all, my clutch decided to cook itself yesterday (with the help of a heavy right boot) which surprised me as I wasn't riding it, just a full bore start...ooops. Anyway...what clutches do people recommend? It's a standard hatch with PPP. Any suggestions would be good (other than don't do full bore starts as I've just learnt that one the expensive way ;-) )
What sort of ball park figure do people think I'd be looking at? Would it be best to get a new flywheel as well or just get it skimmed?
Thanks in advance
Steve
