Bit odd... SUre that the tyres had the 'required' inflation?

Then again the Mk2 suspension was a bit stiffer and lowered a little?

... so in the end, 17s aren't that bad then?

How does it 'feel' to drive on 17" wheels/tyes? The Mk2 Turbo was a right pain in the 'smack, bang, crash' department

Is this the issue with regards to the pre-cats etc. Had mine done from the get go. nah, not even going to consider an engine-out solution as it can open up far too many complications. Been there, failed, done that.

:(

Next.... (However, after the auction I might give the guy a call :wink: )

Seems a bit scary and even after the engine has been out/fixed, the thing could go boom. I'm a bit iffy on engine out work since the Turbo days :/

Could a general garage do it without any fuss?

...as good as Half Life or Half Life 2? I recall the first time I ran into the Special Forces playing HL1. They initially kicked my behind as they had AI which I'd never really experienced before (Can't really say that Doom or unreal had such a thing)

In all honesty, anyone considering playing Crysis 2 should go grab Crysis 1 and Warhead to have a full understanding of whats going on. Same for games like Half Life and... umm, Doom? :) I'm still hurt from Command and Conquer 4.. What a really bad game. MW2: Completed last month, bit boring. Bullet...

One reason why I REALLY can't play FPS games on a console... Auto-aim. Takes the skill straight out of the game :( Anyhow, I still have to play Halo 3 on the XBOX 360 and will simply make do with the standard controller as I'm sure that auto-aim will help. P.s.

Got mine for £150 around two years back. Not sure if it made a difference as I have the usual o2 sensor problem :)

I have a green one and.... I thought that I'd hate it looking the pictures.

Collected the car and it's a different story as everyone I know loves the colour. Honest.

Nah, no need to go down that route again. Either way of playing is pretty cool in all honesty. Heck, if I were more of a serious gamer, I'd be on xbox live. Story..
