Yeah it is the very last size that will fit through, the bar is literally the same size as the lowers point of the splines all the way through

You should never add up what you've spent on your car, the end sum is usually shocking...

Nah, that'd be the money he'd
wasted on 306's, the total spent would be miles above that.
Also love you Chris, honest.
That's not really bad imo when you consider the car is effectively brand new for it...

not all that bad. I often have spent 3x what a car is worth in my ownership of it.
however I think my whole 2.1 build inc the car is around the 2500 mark. so not tooo bad.
but that is SO far!

tbh, 3 grand isn't too bad for your car Jamie, I think up to know I'm probably just either comping up to or brushing past a grand on the nad, and that's buying it, servicing and boosting etc. not too bad for a full years motoring.
anyhoo, lol at the snappy limit, no doubt you can go much faster beefore it lets go?
