brake discs allround and proper pads

Worth every last penny i pour in to it. It's only my third car but by god when that second cam kicks in fully :)
 
Ok, i need slapping. When it hits the 4k RPM mark and takes off.
My last car was a 1.2 punto. Crashed buggered and a 0-60 time of 5 years. So so happy with Almera
 
Stopped counting after £20k but I've had mine nearly 8 years and I've been through 3 engines.

Won't speak for th3k3ymast3r but he's spent more than me in less than a 1/4 of the time but not as much as Flamera who'd probably spent in the region of £35k before he sold it.

Do they really are good. Basically you input your injector size and how many cylinders and off you go. Haven't really tested everything on it. Good thing is the connector fits throught the hole in the fuse box cover so you can mount it and have it plugged in. Its good for reading the things the engine is doing like tps voltage, engine temp etc.

Well worth the money and you can also use a laptop and connect it via usb and use other free consult software. haven't tried this yet just waiting on my new laptop arriving.

im not going into great detail here,

but bearing in mind ive done 3 engine rebuilds, 2 lots of wossner pistons (£550 a set), wasted money on cams (1'500),

ive put in just under £16'000 inc the car,
this has been spent over the last 3 years,
not inc insurance! tax and MOT's

i all ive got back from whats happened recently is just over £1000,
my dad gave me the money to buythe blue one which has been broken and payed for the pulsar,
and the money im getting from my turbo bits so far is mostly being spent on the pulsar getting it mint :D
:(
quite annoying really :(
but i had alot of determination, :)
