Staying standard didn't last long. Just ordered an XCarLink (and bluetooth add-on) and a Bluetooth OBDII Interface (to use with my phone). Nothing too exciting so far lol

Haha, I like to make my intro's a bit of an insight.
Keep forgetting to say thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. I would put up some pictures but I haven't had a chance to break out the cleaning supplies yet, maybe this afternoon if it stays dry.

Actually while waiting for pics of the new car here's the others: Primera SX This is probably the biggest reason why you should ignore when I say I'm not planning to mod it. This was always going to stay standard, then I joined NPOC. So joining here has probably sealed the MPS6's fate too lol      Cosmetic mods: Full GT bodykit JDM Xenon Headlights Plasma dials Genuine Nissan wind deflectors Bonnet lifters Dezent Type-V 17” wheels Performance mods: Nissan JDM strut brace A&S Cold air intake Apexi cone filter Long life catback Decat Toyosports manifold and downpipe BC Coilovers Grounding kit D1 spec rad cap B&M short shifter Ice: Kenwood KDC-6047U head unit 30GB iPod JVC 6x9s in parcel shelf Alpine 13cm door speakers Toyota MR2 Anniversary Edition T-Bar:     A lot less modified than the Primera. As it's an limited edition I really had no plans to do anything to it but drive and service. But the standard catback split and a replacement was £1500 so I went with the £300 aftermarket option. After that a few more things changed but it can all go back to standard. Mongoose Catback Japspeed Decat Cheap ebay steering wheel Kenwood KDC-6047U head unit (liked it in the Primera so much I bought another) Alpine 13cm component speakers in the doors Kenwood 6x9s behind the seats Cheap ebay induction kit

Didn't used to. 4 years ago I knew nothing, but now I'd say I'm competent enough to do almost anything. Pretty much the only thing I've not done on the Primera is a full engine strip down, but I'd give it a go if I had a hoist, stand and garage. Anyway finally:     All 4 of the cars I own or part own (me and my mum split the price of the golf to have as a runaround, we both hate it so it doesn't get used very often ).

kendo.1985 wrote: Smart motor mate. Rid of the golf then? I've tried. Mum doesn't want to get rid of it because it's useful to have a car with a boot (she has a convertible), even though the Primera has a massive boot especially with the seats down. But in fairness she wasn't insured on it and when she finally was she hated it, too hard and too loud  And in the car's defence I only hate it because it's had every single common fault a golf can have, which I've fixed everytime. It's actually really nice to drive, just lacking in power (1.6 8V engine is gutless to say the least). sdg_3mps wrote: Are you from Lightwater by any chance ? I see you're on HJC too I am indeed. I don't spend much time on HJC, been to one of their meets at Portsdown Hill in the Primera, it wasn't appreciated
