    Same as an OPC so:P

    Yes, but €6 a week is a small price to pay for a 5 pot and a more capable chassis.

    Everything sounds small when its broken down to small chunks.

    Annualised figures are much more appropriate when it comes to money/spend and it's impact/hit on salary :)

    A new BMW M5 is only €0.256 cent per minute for the next year though?

    Ok, a €300 tax hit once a year and similar economy. Plus a nicer sound.

    I'd say something if it was €60 per week but €6? It a pint and a packet of chili peanuts.

    You must have a LOT of time on your hands to be doing calculations like that!

    What if you prefer the looks of opc and 240hp is more then enough for you? Plus tax is still cheaper by 340eu per year, which can be spent for extra heavy foot :)

    light frontal damage, 9.5k :rolleyes:

    Full-11510693.jpeg

    are people fecking for real?!

    Didn't we have this discussion a few months back? Light frontal damage = chassis legs in good order, engine still running, but needs all the cosmetic dohickeys, bumpers, bonnet, wings, front crossmember. It's repairable, and all the bits aren't structural - hence 'light'. It looks a lot worse than it is IMHO. You'd get that back on the road for (relatively speaking) very little money. Whether or not the valuation of the car as-is is fair is a different matter.

    ABS sensor/ABS unit?

    Been there, done that with lots of drilling out of 12 year old sensors.

    If you prefer the looks then there's no helping you, plain and simple. You're a lost cause. :P

    You could probably get close to 240bhp from an ST with only a K&N air filter fitted. They regularly clock in the mid 230's stock on a dyno test. I've not tried that theory out myself so I cannot confirm (and I'd only 100% believe it when I see it), but apparently it's true.

    The less that a Euro a day saving on tax? Meh. If you're worried about paying the tax at all, Thelma fun car is not for you. Stick to a Daysul tractor engine. :P
