Yeah why do you think i bought it 
I know pugs can fall apart but they are good when they have a low mileage as they seem durable hehe. Ill just sell it on when it gets to 50-60k miles and then let some chump worry about the problems.

I get the squeaks on mine mate. Usually when i hit 3k aswell lol.
Rattling hmm, make sure that eveything in the engine bay that has a bolt on it is tight or even has a bolt on it. I replaced a load of my nuts and bolts to make sure.
Are you on the PGAC forums mate? im sure ive seen you on it.

This is a video captain rosco took of the car last night after the camming / remap 'While it was broken'.
I was taking it fairly easy though A ) because of speed limits and B ) because of the fact its broken. - only hitting about 90 mph and then stopping accelerating.
Will do a proper 'results' post when I get home and my car is fixed, as graph is at home and stuff.
As I say in the video I'm actually slowing down most times I pass the camera, apart from last time I pass the camera  though the sound is sooo nice imo, sounds Throttle Bodied!

you will need some form of mp4 codec I think (quicktime / real player etc)

Can't beat a Rallye on the B roads, not in my experience anyway! The cars clearly taken some stick in its time, but thats what its made for.

 I was 
In half the fly bys I had cars behind me and I didn't want to go too quick incase they were unmarked police cars. The rest you kinda see the car accelerate quickly past traffic and stuff then just roll at the same speed or brake. The last one however I nailed it (you could see a flash of my lights inbetween the trucks where I zoomed from the roundabout onto the dual carriageway)
I also made Captain rosco - aka Dave - poo his pants. on the way home I was driving going 'it's not that quick is it?" when I was doing the laps round the dual carriageway track -  being serious and all.
I said 'Why can you never find anything to challenge when you want it'. Started driving back and in a little village I had the window down and heard the rumble of exhausts and saw 3 saxo's VTR's or VTS's go past. I was like 'I'm gonna go chase them and dick on the lot of them'
But first I had to wait for traffic so I could turn around, stuck behind some nova 5 up full of chavs with gay exhaust. They could probably hear my squeaking / squealing dodgy whatever (Driveshaft?), so they were looking behind them and smiling 
So anyway, we get to some national speed limit section and I'm playing catch up. 3rd gear (pulls so well now - mid range is ace) just blasted past the nova and 3 other cars, into 4th gear. zooming along, pulled out past another car' - then there's this big down hill 'rally stage' style section - which I used to do every day to college.
Was going v.quick down there, accelerating on the bottom of the valley and then was like 'On the brakes - OFF THE BRAKEs - on the throttle' - remembering what I had learnt on track ... then accelerated all the way up the hill in 3rd and then 4th. back onto that dual carriageway and was nailing it past loads of cars.
End of the story I couldn't find the saxo's they must of turned off ages ago - but I looked over to dave who was gripping the roof grab rail still and it looked like he had shat himself.
I said 'Oops sorry mate, forgot you were there' then said 'Hmm, actually my car is a bit quick aint it'
