Mine has a 7400 limiter at the mo - having standalone means I can change it just by plugging the laptop in.
Never really take it above 4-5k tbh - no real need on the roads driving about

Lol, 300miles to a tank is about right for me tbh - if I wanted fuel economy I'd own a diesel

cheers azza!
Ok so ive been a bit confuzzled with plans for this car. so far ive decided on getting it through the mot then moving to the styling s then dropping a VTS lump into it lastly
so plans for the looks are:
smoothed door locks and ariel
buckets and harnesses
supersprint race section
removing the dent on passenger 1/4 pannel
strip it. ie remove rear seats, sound proofing but keep the carpet etc in
then after that the spec i hope to run on a vts lump is
1.6 16v lump under 80k
unlocked ecu
p+p throttle bodie
lightened fly wheel
4-2-1 mani and decat
thats just to start with and will add bits as i go along. before dropping it into the engine tho i hope to replace cambelt, HG, thermostat, oil filter, headbolts and waterpump just so i dont have to strip it down at a later date.
fingers crossed vts engine will be ready by october????

back end slides out alot and theres no body roll, plus the ride is a killer feel every pot hole. i would reccommend it for a fun/fast road car that you have fun in at weekends but for a everyday driver its a killer. Hopefully this will be my weekend driver this time next year if i get a megane 1.9td or something for the communting lol. if you wanted lowering id suggest 40 if your driving every day

aaa manby airfield lol. yeah pop up there every now and again and try to see what i can hit through the gates 
as for the bonnets i think i like the old one. the fact that it was smoothed and quite liked and it cut accross the lights for a more agressive look 
thanks for the comment matey
