There are a couple of Exige ABS units on ebay, one for £350 another for £425, are these prices about right? Seem a bit steep to me??

    Just had a look on seloc, how are they still trading! I was thinking if the part numbers check out and i recieved the goods i couldn't really go wrong but i think i'm going to leave well alone, explains why they've been on there for months now!!

    they might be the right parts, they might work, but with UKLC reputation don't buy unless you are really desperate.

    I'll just wrap it i think, I've got some new toe links to go on so i'll do it all at once, I was expecting the heat shield to be about £40

    That would do most of your exhaust.

Saw a sticker on the back of a car today that made me laugh 'Is there life after death? overtake me to find out....' why is this country so anti overtaking?!

    It's a mindset thing. My wife was doing 40mph in a NSL at night the other day. Our little boy in the back. Someone came past doing 60mph ish and she said something about him having a death wish. I then educated her. ;)

    One cause is the UK's love affair with the queue. God forbid you jump the queue!

    To be fair, I used to overtake the world and his dog in my smart roadster; but if someone tried to overtake me...the only thing that stopped me fighting back was the lack of acceleration :D
