The Upgrade...

[Jimbo_M]

Looks real nice mate, my bro has had two and loved them. As said theres easy power to be achieved through decent breathing mods.

Ha ^,
thought you were getting rid of Ste?

I can't think of anything to replace it with... DC5 is too overpriced and similar and I hate Clio gearboxes, may as well stick with it for now!

 

[Philip.]

Looks nice and clean dude

 

[Mr Burns]

Cheers folks!

Just had a mess around with some of my pictures, quite like this one...

Tidy and I prefer CTRs to Clios. But your old red bus was something special. That just looks plain to me fella!

 

[Mr Burns]

It is dude! Only thing I don't like about it... Well, and the steering lol.

 

[Mr Burns]

Well, here's a long overdue update... I've pretty much done bugger all with the car since I bought it as I keep telling myself I'm not that keen on it, although it's a nice car. So after several months of shopping around and test driving I've decided to keep it!

I lowered it 35mm on Eibach Sportlines on Sunday, and it's booked in for a FRSU on Friday.

It looks a lot lower in the flesh btw...

 

[imprezaworks]

Where you getting the frsu?

 

[Mr Burns]

ABP mate, I'd considered Grinspeed but it's a lot further away!

 

[Matthew]

Looks great Ste

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah fair enough. Be interesting to see what you think afterwards.

 

[AK]

Nice.

I remember the pic you took of your 197 in the same location, was a bit darker IIRC and it looked absolutely stunning!

 

[Mr Burns]

Cheers dude, it's been ages since I used my SLR... I need some new locations and some more practice!

 

[Philip.]

Looks good mate!

Sportlines are significantly lower. I was with one on saturday, and to be honest I thought it was on coilovers.

Think i'm going to play it safe with the pro-lines.

Have you bought camber bolts and arms for your FRSU ?

 

[Mr Burns]

It's pretty good on the Sportlines actually! I'm getting the camber arms fitted at the same time as the setup, I'll report back with my opinion of the changes .

Looks a lot better on those, mine had fast road done at abp, felt more positive on turn in and more lift off oversteer, although it was a fairly limited test of mine!

 

[Mr Burns]

Mine's at ABP as we speak, looking forward to getting the keys back .

Was really impressed with that place, very professional, nice workshops and they explained all the changes they were making. Definitely improved the car.
