Haha cheers buddy! Huge enkie fan, they have been sent off for sand blasting and a proper refurb so should be on soon
Private plate now on with legal pressed plates And a sneak peek at my wheels colour, I've not seen them yet and collect them from refurbers tomorrow before I gtechniq c5 coat them
Wheels are on but pictures really don't do them any justice. Woke up this morning to find some little fucker stole my bonnet badge.
Yes mate gloss black and no I don't buddy just didn't have better sticky pads for my new plates, does look good with out one though
Went for a mental midnight blast with a load of my pals running big power mk5 golf ed30s so in a straight line I was a little under powered but hung on a lot better then I thought but then we found some amazing roads and we'll the french infiltration made the golf's look pathetic
Hope they dont have a backlog... took 4 weeks to get mine. Did you order from the UK or a Euro distributor?
How much did K-Tec charge? Didn't even know they stock them. Larkspeed are doing them for around £1750
Dave matched the price. They don't stock them for the meg but thought I'd ask and he's sorting me out
Clubsport's are on my wish list, bet you can't wait to get them on. Black headlights will be well worth it as well.
Well excited to get them! Should be here and sorted befor Nurburgring too. Deciding if I need a cae shifter in black haha
The CAE shifter in black would be awesome too. Had one on my old mini and loved how short and positive it made the shift feel. Still want your wheels!!!
Haha you had minis too? I think I recognise your username off MT lol i had 5 r53 last one being 221whp. Snetterton was eepic and car was amazing, even better when I actually sorted the tyre pressures and managed a 2m 21secs which Is apparently pretty good? Didn't get over taken by anything I wouldnt call a full race car which is great. However on last lap changed down to 3rd (didn't hit limiter) and felt a thud then a vibration and though the box had gone but the gears where still perfect. Got to the pits everything was tight but still hear this horrid vibration under load amd when turning, was told possibly drop link or ball join lt but must say bar the vibration the car was perfect the whole way home! Any suggestions?
Gear box mount? Does it clunk on and off throttle? Been a few of those go and downchanging even just into high revs would be pretty high load so could make sense it'd let go in that situation. Oh and lap times look about right: http://fastestlaps.com/tracks/snetterton.html
wonder if you could get the cae shifter from 250 to work with a 225 box?.. not seen a 250 to know how different the box/shifter mechanism is... future upgrade i think
possibly, it's hard to tel because everything still feels pretty stiff, the vibration is a lot more noticeable from pull off but shuts up when on motorway. Will get the car on a ramp today and investigate. Oh the car would have gone quicker it's a shame it was only an evening as I was getting a lot faster but traffic was pretty bad after a car dropped fluid and the track was closed then re opened http://youtu.be/I0fB_h-yLvs http://youtu.be/yeI7fIwujOk http://youtu.be/otDss5L7P5M few videos off he go pro
Hah I'm an old R53 guy myself. Seems like a natural progression! Cae shifter looks like a dream indeed. Wish I could justify the money for one already! When are you heading of to the ring Odinson?
Thanks buddy!! cant get over how much better they make the car look. I wish i got the xenons but couldnt justify the price for a set
Xenons are nice on the 250 but even they aren't as dark as the xenons fitted to the 265! How much did you manage to find some xenons for?
