exactly, torque makes a noticable difference. BHPs only come into the equation when the car gets kicked around real hard.

I'd opt for the CC rather than the 180 any day.....unless theer would be a larger engined 180 with more torque ;)

I would not agree in calling this thing a radar detector, it is a radar warner allright but is has no radar detection capability beyond its GPS waypoint proximity warning.....

I think leaded petrol might kill the cat, which would be rather expensive to replace. Buy a kat replacement unit and Lamda replacement, when the gas really is leaded there'll hardly be a soul aroud that gives a shit about pollution and exhaust measurements... But the engine will run on regular unle...

did it come without a bonnet :o :shock:

Personally I find the windstop not so sporty, and unnecessary.

what would be of interest is the question whether you guys habitually operate the roof with the engine switched off or on, as I can imagine the battery takes quite a beating when it has to produce max juice for 20 sec....

get someone to measure the current that flows when the ignition is off and then find the culprit, or.....buy a battery safeguard that shuts off the currebt drawn when the voltage drops too much (would wanna know whether an alarm causes this because that will then be shut off too)

I think for the foglight you can get in behind the bumper but not 100% sure as Ecosse fitted mine. For the brake light you need to remove the carpet trim. After that it should be clear enough although it's not too easy for access. Keep messing about and you will find a way of getting your hands in ...
