It's not just about handling differences beween the MkI and MkII, it's more about what happens when you get to and beyond the limit of adhesion and chassis dynamics. From what I read, the MkI is not progressive in it's 'break away'. Once you have reached chassis and tyre limits it will snap...
I saw the Lunar grey one at the Motorshow. Under certain light the colour has a purple hue to it and was noticeable under the spotlights. I would argue that it wasnt a flat colour but meatallic and maybe even reflex. It certainly had metallic flecks if you looked hard enough.
I heard something like that too. However, I looked at fitting size guides and Mikes Cobra seats and Sparco are alot narrower than the OEM seat so actually gave more room. Maybe Recaro are different. Of course I could be talking cr*p.

Mitch, I am having the same idea, only really keen on the Sparco and Recaro ranges. Mike went for Cobra I understand. I had a lengthy chat with Yaozza about Sparco fitment and the difficulty was with the subframes and mounting points. Give Yozza a call and see if the Recaros from the Trophy...
Whooh. Thanks all. I look forward to some footage of Bens exhaust on Mitchs car. AS Ben asked if you could get inside and out footage that would be great.
Have fun and look forward to the results
Mitch, I know it was some time ago now, but did you (or anyone else) manage to get sound or video footage of the track day and of course the Orbisoud or K-Tec exhausts as discussed above?
Thanks
Totally different types of car. You have to go and have a drive of each yourself and see which one YOU prefer. I have had 2 Scoobys incl a P1 and an Evo (preferred the P1) and now want a drivers car where my driving input dictates the cars behaviour and not the 4wd systems. Evos and...
I am 34, 8 yrs NCB, good postcode, garaged and have been quoted £720 on a MkII V6 with a £500 excess. Thats with A-Plan if I recall. Elephant wanted about £790 and £350 excess

The Coupe midrange is very, very quick and once on the roll with good 3rd gear gearing accelerates quickly. Never underestimate them. I also dont think that Scoob is standard. It has at least a decat exhaust which gives good results.

Been there done the Scooby x2 and Evo route over the last 8 years. The mkII v6 now hits all the right buttons. A REAL drivers car, with a multi cylinder engine and RWD. Something youll have to learn and respect to get the most out of it. Almost anyone can jump in a rally rep and hoon about...
Why would you want to know where the device has been installed on the car? I had it as OEm on the Impreza P1 and in 2 yrs never once thougt about where the device had been put. Just got Trackstar to check they could locate my car...They did this acurately within 3ft of someones front door :D
Being Pedantic ;), buts its RAC Trackstar...Tracker is a different company and product.
Make sure you phone RAC Trackstar and get them to check they can currently see or locate your car too. Its free and piece of mind.
My Impreza P1 did this too. After washing I always took her for a run to get the pads warm and blow out any excess water. Then shammy the car dry. Always worked for me.
Jeremy, my car is currently for sale (Mini Cooper S with BBR220 conversion and 11k miles) on certain forums and will go in Top Marques in the next 2-3 weeks (work commitments dictating this timescale). I am looking on a daily basis for a potential purchase at the right spec and price. As soon...
Johnny, I am looking at exactly the same condition vehicles as yourself. Looking for around the 20k mark but can go to more for the right car. Illiad blue the preferred colour.
Once my current BBR220 Mini Cooper S is sold I will be making positive moves to get the V6 ASAP.
Ian, I would...
In every day driving the CTR will NOT be as quick as the MkII V6. Unless of course you drive around in a CTR at 5/6000 RPM. Torque makes a car quick and the R has none. Yes, it goes when revved hard but you cannot drive like this all the time.
As Mike said, buying a V6 is not a logical...
