Not sure to be honest, must be a couple of years ago I would have thought. He had been ill I think, but don't know the exact circumstances. I had a couple of run-ins with him on there. He could be a bit odd at times, but seemed well liked in real life.
Another guy on pf owns it now, has at...
Yeah changing the turbo spec isn't he? Would be awesome to see it do one more top speed run, just to see if it could achieve what Rod/Mark were hoping for.
I think a lot of the problem is that people get into a car like that and expect it to drive like an Evo VIII or something else much newer. Like any old car, you just have to adjust your expectations and remember when it was built. I'd still 100% have one.
It's the front wings that really ruin it for me. The lines around the vent thing behind the wheel are so badly resolved it's almost funny.
Viewed directly from the rear is genuinely the only inoffensive way to look at it. There is so much wrong at the front and sides.
That's fair enough but, if the new dash doesn't solve the issues, I'd be wanting that money right back from them, and I'd want it confirmed before you pay for it. Would be a proper PITA if you buy a new one and it goes wrong immediately!
I wouldn't dismantle the car when you're so close, but I think I would be considering other dash options to be honest, as this has been a bit ridiculous to be honest.
Would that fit on the K4M or whatever engine these used?
I'm surprised they didn't sack off the hydraulic system and go electric really. One less fluid to worry about.
I think these are a better looking car than the 740/940. A bit more character to them. I can imagine it's even worse to drive though, which probably isn't good lol.
Is it just another quick flip like the last one?
Honda are launching a Sportline version of the Type-R, which doesn't look quite so mental as the regular one, so that might be worth considering. You'd have to buy new though obviously.
The problem for me is that I would vomit every time I stepped into the Merc. The interior is absolutely minging in my view. Current Mercs are far too blinging and tacky looking for my tastes. My missus had a previous gen CLA and it felt pretty cheap inside, especially the dash vents etc. Not...
