Tried all the usual suspects lads. Currently with A-Plan for £850 FC mods declared on my Sport. This year they want £990. Cheapest on compare websites is £1100 and Keith Michaels can't do better than £1000. Adrian Flux seem to be the cheapest so far so think I'll be going with them.

I need cheering up lol

Cheer up Tom. At least your car is still on the road. Im paying the insurance still (in case it gets stolen) and I cant use mine. Now that hurts.

Would it be worth mapping in current state or do it after modifications?
Looked at ecutek.
Am i right in thinking anti lag could be added at a later date?
Thanks for your time.....cheers (daz).

Antilag you'll be best with Simtek, you could have it tuned now and then tweeked as you fit your addons.

if you get a chance have a look at bmfcrash's car he's got simtek with antilag installed

Hi guys, sorry I haven't been that involved in the west mids club yet. Been getting my classic wagon upto standard (standard turbo2000)

Just a quick question...

What oil are you guys using? Everyone is telling me different things...

some say 10w40 semi synthetic, 10w40 fully synthetic and others 10w50 fully synthetic

Hello Mate

I've got a 1998 classic wagon turbo 2000 and i've been using 10w50 fully synthetic for last 3 years with no problems
although many people will tell you many different things,so at the end of the day it's your own personal preference

Regards

Nick.
