Ditto.
Drive the puma thats it. Corsa....well....i dont no to sell it or do something track orientated with it.
But i dont want to chuck money at the 1.4. I dont want a c20xe, i dont no why im just dont want to do it. I dont want a let...too costly.

exhaust is the only thing i really want right now to be honest (downpipe + decat), doesn't need a remap in this weather as it pulls so well with the cold air as it is.
oh and re-paint my calipers as they look shite now, pitted brake dust

Nah im not looking at anything else for myself until into next year.
Plans
1. Keep off Autotrader & PH until March - when my insurance is up.
2. Save up save up save up as much as I can.
3. Either buy an 04 plate M3 outright, or 50:50 cash:finance on a 09 FRS.
Not going to mention anything else Joseph apart from possibly any press releases on the FRS as its a big interest to me jut now & maybe cry tears of joy about how cheap M3's are becoming!!
