the RedReps replacement :D

[Goodj]

Lovely machine.

plans sound reasonable too, enjoy it!

 

[Tunst]

IMO black or silver (not nimbus... i dont want to be lynched)

lol bless... just pull like f**k

erm, OEM+... so cup spoiler, LY dash inserts, maybe springs, not too sure yet.

then when i get bored of it, cams, ported throttle body, and map

before everything else though i want to know what exhaust it has on it lol

Nimbus is a Hero colour! Hopefully getting a Nimbus Meg Trophy at the weekend

Car looks lovely mate. How much you pay for it? Insurance must have been a hike from a 1.4?

 

[Knuckles]

Car of hero's

Enjoy dude.

that it is :approve:

will do mate

The car looks spot on mate! Can't wait to see it in person

youre gonna love it i think ill give it a once over with a jetwash before tonight to get all of the motorway shite off

H&R springs are a good choice. They're not even much more harsh.

Please don't buy a Cup spoiler though. lol. They make the car look like a pram and you have to DRILL the boot lid to fit them, so it's hard for anyone to go back. :dapprove:

it handles fine for me and the ride isnt too bad... as long as you dont need the toilet, im just not sure whether im happy with the rake on it lol. so i may look into H&Rs

sorry, minds made up im not looking to sell so going back wont be a problem.

are you going to the preston meet on the 11th? or is it a bit far for you?

with 10'' tyres on? :rasp:

the insurance was the cheapest of all the RS's... i was originally quoted £500 to swap over... but then they decided to say £800, then £700, then settled on £600.

but, it was gonna cost me £200 to move to the NW anyway. so i see it as £400 for the car and £200 for moving. so not too bad lol.

i got it for £8200, but then i took out GAP, 3 year warrenty and a polish so i payed a bit more than that lol

 

[Goodj]

R27's deserve teh full body trimmings. splitter, skirts and spoiler.

 

[Knuckles]

Yup

i wasn't sold on the splitter at first, i was gonna get rid but its grown on me... keeping my eye out for skirts now

 

[.GAZ.]

Lovely!!!

 

[RDH]

Lovely mate! I look forward to seeing it around!

 

[Christopher]

I won't be there on the 11th mate, mine doesn't arrive until the end of the month. :dapprove:

 

[Knuckles]

cheers rob

come in the twingo chris? or is it gone now?

 

[Christopher]

It might be gone by then. I've got a couple of possible viewings lined up.

If it's not been shifted then I'll probably pop up.

Just going to run it on the discs now I think.. saves on tyres :rasp:

Seems a cracking car, skirts and a decent spoiler will finish it off nicely! Enjoy it mate

 

[Knuckles]

sweet, hopefully see you there then

flol. paint the outside of the alloys black. say its super low profile tyres.

the skirts go for around £170 don't they? i think spray shack do the spoilers for £270 new and posted

Not sure on prices tbh.. Il be looking at a set myself iv seen a couple megs with them fitted and I kinda like it

 

[Knuckles]

group buy lol?

would you be getting the .r spoiler? theres a LY r26 in the north east that has a carbon one, it looks unreal

 

[Jimbo_M]

Absolutely lovely dude, its all about the recaro's . Awesome motors im sure you will enjoy.

 

[Knuckles]

recaros and LY were why i bought it lol

i love it but its so awkward climbing in and out without rubbing the bolster

 

[Christopher]

Stick your arse in first, then lift your legs over. I find that easiest, but then I'm a stickman.

Fatties with big legs tend to wear them really badly.

 

[Tom_90]

Nice, must feel quick coming from a 1.4!

thatll probably look less stupid than putting my legs in first and hopping over the bolster lol

yeah tom, it feels like it just wants to keep revving and pulling lol. its effortless compared to the 1.4 lol

 

[Tom_90]

I might look at one if i cant find a nice Z3M lol

 

[Knuckles]

By the sounds of it youll get the same mpg from the Z3M lol!

 

[joe18two]

Nice choice, one hell of an upgrade mate. Best colour aswell nice and subtle

 

[V9 GSW]

Very nice choice mate, will keep an eye out for you around Shields.

 

[Hixle]

Great upgrade fella. I'm not the biggest fan of LY on anything other than the mk2 clio, but great choice in car.

Insurance was still silly on a mk2 or I wouldve got one of those in ly lol. But I suppose after 3 mk2(non sports) it was time for a change too lol

 

[liam172cup]

lovely car mate, great upgrade. might see you around at some point..

 

[Tom_90]

do they still have the LOL size steering wheel on the mk3?

 

[Knuckles]

No it's a great size actually and no thumb grips to fall apart

 

[Ash87]

looks good, nice upgrade

 

[aucky]

Noice!

 

[joe18two]

my decat civic jordan was subtle aswell

 

[mantis946]

Epic buy ! When were you down roker, I was there most of Sat lol Shame I didn't see ya.

 

[Knuckles]

i went about 6:30 mate... didnt realise the time though as it was still light out lol!

were you in the ph1?

 

[mantis946]

I was indeed, it was dead when I went down for leg end chips

 

[Jon.G]

Missed this, looks awesome mate. I'll hopefully come down on the 11th and have a chat with you!

 

[Knuckles]

Aah, I love the chips from Roker :approveefinately Jon! Although with a 90 mile a day commute and lellow paint... Don't tell me off for it being black lol

 

[SC03OTT]

Nice. I really like LY. Stickers FTL though.

 

[koi]

Looks strange with the front spoiler but not the sides :S

What's the difference between the diffuser on this and the 200?

 

[Adam.P]

How you getting on dude?
