Great wee cars! Love the VXT...Shocked at how badly they rot though!!! (All the wishbones/dampers/springs/bushes!) - Worst I've seen and the Lotus is no better.
IMO, you need ATS's and stickier rubber than the Bridgestone flintstone tyres they come with.
M3 over the C63. (My reasons below)
1/ Better chassis, dynamically.
2/ More usable power, the Grunt in the C63 will just flicker the ESP light constantly.
3/ 8k RPM screamer
4/ Prefer the cabin layout
5/ Gearbox is far better
6/ Resales are still strong, paid 30k for mine with 13k on the clock...
Was very underwhelmed by them...not particularly fast with crap tyres put on to make them more "adjustable"
I think both Toyota and Subaru missed a trick by not turbo charging them; then, it would have been a serious toy to have!
First of many updates to come over the next month.
Full Service was carried out at Steve Plain in Sheffield - Great job and nice to have another 'reliable' option for V6 owners.
Work done included:
1/ Belts (Timing and Aux)
2/ Pulleys
3/ Waterpump
4/ Starter
5/ Plugs, Fluids
6/ Clutch
7/...
Got to admit, there is absolutely nothing I like about the car visually...
That said, the feedback on how it drives it perhaps more important! - No doubt a hoot!
Good choice James. Look forward to seeing it!
CSL's look great, Eibach's are a nice touch too, lower, but not too much!
I would also look at the Gruppe M for them. Expensive, but the S54 sounds great from the front; crap from the back. Keep the OEM exhaust as all aftermarkets sound worse...
