Put a deposit down on one last night, is at a garage, just got to wait for my loan to come through and for the garage to valet the car and sort out a few bits and peices. Hehe, gettin excited now
Oh its Diablo red, 52k 1 owner fsh, 12 months mot 3 months warrenty, standard(which is how i want it) err it hasnt got leather, but never mind, cant wait. payin 4200 for it knocked 300 off price
One thing that worried me was the airbag light was up, they said that they would sort it, i said i bet you just take the bulb out, he said no, he reckons it is prob where the batt has gone flat and it needs resetting, i am not convinced!! should i be worried? my mate thats a mechanic said it could be a prob? I have seen the hpi check for it and it says its ok( and doesnt look like its been in an accident to me??

Airbag lights on 106's and 306's is often down to the wiring under the seat. It's a simple job

so far I've lowerd it on 50mm GMC's, Cystal rear lights and removed the K&N for standard airbox.
The springs are spot on, work well with standard shocks and lower its just the right amount IMO.
Yeah they have torsion bars like your 5
