man i wish mine was so cheap - being 22 i get pillaged by the insurance - i pay the best deal i found, through directline, which was £1,067. And thats with 4yrs no claims. 

It takes into account a variety of factors - for starters I live in an area of the country that is usually on fire.
Plus a speeding offence (whoops!)  and it all adds up! 

I've ordered the rest of the Ragazzon exhaust system today - 60mm flexi pipe and 60mm straight-through centre pipe without the intermediate silencer. I'll wait until the warranty has expired before I ditch the standard cat and fit their sports cat.

That should improve things a little bit hopefully.

I'm told that nothing I've done so far will affect the warranty. Probably knocked a few bob off the secondhand value though. Oh well, never mind.

Got a big thumbs up from the owner of an immaculate Type R this morning. It's good that the car is appreciated.

nice one magicmole! whens the ETA of the parts? - figure it wont be on for saturday...
