Was seriously thinking about APS Phase 0.5 (loom & chip), but that's on hold @ the moment while I wait for Ford to fix my diff (whine) and auto gearbox (flaring)...

Spoke to Brian (bcl) about it, he recommended sorting the car out before moving on to any mod's :blush:

Last I heard there's a 16 week wait for differentials :gooff:

Done lots of mods, and I need more power. It's like a drug the more you have the more you want.

Geea. :Imwifhim:

APS Stage 2 fitted and 12.5 @113mph run prior to 3K service. I figured if it ain't run in after 1K it ain't gunna be run in.

@ 1.8K went toe to toe with a 260kw Clubby. My fondest memory of my car in standard trim.

Now done close to 8K and it just keeps getting better :spoton:

Combination of a few variables means I will be waiting until my car is out of warranty until I do some mods, I also expect my financial situation would have improved yet again with career advancement etc.. :spoton:

Formula for my current situation is something like this:

23yo + small recent fender bender = insurance company b**ch slappin me until I get older... :spoton:

What's even more annoying is that I planned on getting the car chipped a few months ago thru APS and now that I've had my indiscretion, no one would insure me for a reasonable amount if I did any performance mods...

Bring on getting a lil older... I'm actually thinking about getting rid of the car for something around the 20K mark running on GAS purely as it will be very cheap and as a sales rep, I drive A LOT... if the insurance companies are gonna stick it to me for a year or so, I'd rather the stickin' be less... but I'm finding it hard to do the looking for another car when I love my T!

Cheers,

Miyagi

I voted thinking about it.... I need to sort a few things out with ford first, like the driveline and gearbox.....

Even if the car was perfect right now, I would not be able to modify for a few months yet (cashflow)...

cant wait till the issues are sorted out and the bank balance grows a bit :spoton:
