Rusty Crobar

Resurrecting this thread as my car's been in the garage again to find the source of the warning light.

Turns out that my custom exhaust was fitted without any gaskets! It was blowing in a few places which was playing havoc with the O2 sensors. This also explains why it was starting to sound like a 60's muscle car 😂

It's all sorted now and sounding a lot more refined, still loud though 😎

Also had my suspension raised a little and aligned, some new wheel hub bolts fitted and getting a new exhaust bracket fitted this week. Also got some new wider tyres. Expensive week but glad to have the car back to its best 😊

You found one in the correct colour 😊

That SE is very nice 🖒

I've just fitted 255mm tyres on my front 8.5 inch wheels and they foul the arch liner when reversing on left lock. Looks like the liner will have to come out or at least trimmed 🤔

😠

Absolutely gutted I missed this 😟

Got some more pics 😊

Is it getting boring yet? 😂

It's a stunner @Peter P18 🖒

@Rusty Crobar Met him matey and already done 👍

🐀

Can some one other than @Big Rat talk to him about the forum, don't want to scare him off 😉

Good luck with the search @Prof Manny, the pearl white looks stunning in the sunlight 😎. Heres a pic of @Warrington guy

Normally I'd be interested but my car needs some tlc. Refurb the wheels, new tyres (Michelin ps4 at £740! 😨), new exhaust bracket, wheel hub bolt replacement, suspension adjustment...

There is a guy called Alex I follow on instagram who is involved in this event. He recently traded his isf for a blue RCF that will be doing passenger rides tomorrow. See if you can persuade him to get involved in the forum 🖒

@Big Rat I prefer quarter to 3, closer to home time 😁

Always get the photos in the can before attempting burnouts!

My work mate does photography as a hobby and fancied trying some car pics. We spent a full day on Sunday in the work car park and out on some quiet roads. I'm pretty happy with the results so far, especially as he didn't charge me 😂

@Rusty Crobar Look at those naughty liquorice marks on that publicly maintained road 😂

You want good roads, go to Wales!

I'm off there Sunday morning for a mini blat :) I think I'll take the Volvo.

I'll be trying out the A4061 tomorrow and taking a friend with me for photography duties 😎

@Rusty Crobar Matey I'd stick with the originals I've never read anything here or abroad that using anything else would offer any benefit whatsoever, there are I'm wagering many on here who been using there's for tens of thousands of miles without issues.

Have you an issue or is it just time to change ?

🐀

 

Just wondering, and planing for the future. I have no history with my car other than the service book so I'm not sure what's been done when 🤔

Does anyone have a recommendation for good plugs?

The bet is that there will be an isf on AT within one year for less than £10k. It can't be an official write off but anything else goes-

Any mileage

Any history 

Any colour (although I'm guessing silver will be the cheapest )

Any condition 

Who's in?

@Rusty Crobar Having been a passenger with you driving I can confirm yours has plenty of grip 😏

As regards the weight it has both positives and negatives personally I quite like the weight as adds to the grip / traction, it obviously can blunt the acceleration, but hey ho on a public road not really an issue was it now 😂

🐀

Not really 😉

@Rusty Crobar I agree, but...it would be nice to have, wouldn't it??! The chassis and transmission can easily cope with an extra 80-160bhp think. Would I?... even if I had the cash...maybe, only just!

Agreed, there seems to be plenty of grip. My personal preference would be headers and tune with a few hundred kilos off the curb weight 😊
