Bought some carbon fibre today, will collect rear diffuser when BMW open again and get Anil to fit for me.

oooo carbon goodness

 

[Mark Davis]

Comp pack M Performance exhaust cold start in Sport Plus with valves open, think I’ll look at an aftermarket exhaust, not the nicest of sounds in my opinion.

Sounds weird.
Save the £ and buy something for the RX.

Yeah its an odd sound, it’s ok when warm on the overrun but not the best from cold or idling. Many nice aftermarket options out but mostly very steep price wise like Akrapovic etc.

Been looking at seats for the RX7 today, I’ve ordered the mounting brackets. Likely going with the Sparco Evo.

I know of a place that might cut a small deal on a Akra.

Might as well have it mapped at the same time ...

The colour on your is awesome !!

Yes it needs dropping a few mm for sure, will get to that next.

Where did you get your springs from?

Well I sold the car today, great car but not for me.

Going to buy a sensible daily now the FD is back.

Another 5GT then

 

[Mark Davis]

Another 5GT then

Haha no, can’t see me back in another GTT. Even hard for me to justify the cost of them these days. Rusty boxes going for £10k plus, I could be tempted by James Sargents old 5 but that’s likely over £12k.

I’m going to look at an old Volvo and Merc this PM for new daily.

 

[Mark Davis]

Picked up today, goodbye old friend.

What’s your thoughts on them? I think they look fantastic but no idea what the box is like or what’s it’s like to drive?

I liked it a lot, great to drive, pretty quick, lots of torque low down. Interior is lovely and love the look of the car. Handles great too.

However for my needs and the expense I can’t justify it.
