Mine gets abused in a positive way. :D

What tyres you going for on the ee9, I strongly recommend Parada's if its for everyday use, r888 if for race use. Awesome tyres both of them, makes my car feel like its got LSD. :lol:

UPDATE!!!!!!! After 4 months of wait my wheels have finally turned up. seems at this length of time the wheels were made specifically for me :x im will b fittin them on monday as they are at my mum and dads house. i also ordered Yohohama paradas and got them at an awesome price.
This has really cheered me up as me and my ef were not on best terms when it broke down on the motorway 2 weeks ago with the dizzy bearing collapsing and causing the timing belt to slip !!!! :cry:
However got the car bak this week and is running sweeter than ever and lukily the valves were fine, it did cost me 300 quid tho so to say im skint is an understatement.
Cant wait to get the wheels on, its gonna transform this car and will be taking plenty piks as requested :top:

Had the dizzy been making noises prior to failing? You are quite lucky that you did't suffer any other damage, I am guessing you were not on the high cam?

Looking forward to seeing here with the wheels on. 8)

Wheels look 8) What offset are they??

Would look awesome a touch lower since you changed the wheels :)

Is the manifold Mugen? Bought from Dan Fallon by any chance :?:

I saw this when Jamie first got it - Ultra clean - keep up the good work
