Aw Ryo, dude you aint being a nuisance mate
so no need to apologise if you don't know you don't know innit I would say stick with standard as thats where i went wrong, for cost and efficiency def stay standard...but sometimes, depending on you route, FMIC can be a bit tricky as air box can get in the way ...sometimes
we are here to help and you are a fellow member we all have common ground here and some of us are veterans to these issues. I suggest research using the site search facility...most questions have been asked over and over again but most of us, if not all, will provide assistance

Thank you, really appreciate your response ..
Ill deff be leaving it alone, unless the need to change it comes up.
On a completly different subject, I know this depends on MANY factors, but any suggestions on a insurance companythat wont charge an arm andleg for having a mod car? I tried gocompare and such but all seem to be quite expensive, so wasnt sure if there are dedicated companies that insure mod cars?

Haha no worries mate, i've just spent what feels like a lot of this week telling other people the same thing. Happens a lot - a lot of newbies sign up with coincidentally the same question or problem all at once and often haven't yet learnt to search or read the thread so i end up repeating myself. Don't mind me, i'm usually trolling and occasionally being grumpy without good reason, either way it's not meant personally. What i would recommend is learning to use the search function, you're asking a lot of questions which have been covered in great detail in the past, a quick search and some reading will usually render the information you need.
Thanks, Highwayman, saving my thumbs lol.
Edit: in fact if i'd followed my own advice and read the thread, i would have seen that highwayman has already explained the search function and my apparently grumpy tendencies. I'll stfu.

Reps don't really mean much on here, unlike on bodybuilding.com! They have a rep/neg system. People won't even listen to the opinions of people on there with little/negative rep, opp for people with loads of reps lol

30 miles would be a local meet for some of us... We can't all live in big cities.
I'm not far from Ipswich so may see you around lol, there aren't really any local forum meets now, but there are plenty of 'proper' meets/shows coming up soon, all a bit of a trek but might be worth it.

Wow... im sitting at work reading this, laughing so hard, this escalated quickly from car meets to sloppy wet missues lool... if money permits ill prob go quite far for a meet, any suggestions on best ones to go to? I see FCS seems popular any others?
Also, quick question, I noticed the Forum has a shop, went on there hoping that I would be able to get a sticker with the logo of the forum for my car, but couldnt find one, any ideas how I could go about that and if the Forum admins/moderator allow it obv?
Thanks

Yeah, welcome to the forum...
Shows like fcs suit some, depends what you're into, definitely something to go to once just for the camping though - chronic banter. Personally i prefer meets over shows for the most part, more chance to chat to people and doesn't cost half as much, even including camping/dinner/go-karting/whatever else is happening. But then i am pretty tight lol.
Srowell has the rights to the forum stickerage, but refuses to do anything useful with it, go give him some shit. Probably won't help you get stickers, but i'll rep you for it.

You'll find him under the new username of Eeyore...
But you can't PM anyway until you have more posts lol. Best bet is to find the sticker thread, it gives colours and prices and the paypal address.
