Every time I look at that signature picture i get slightly, physically aroused.
Monumental car that I would love to see in the flesh.
Andy! Welcome back mate, good to hear from you once more.
I'm really pleased you found the faith to keep going on what is and has been said so many times to be one of the best if not best 850R saloons still about.
Hopefully catch up with you when your up and running again.
Good luck!
Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong
Tell her a remap is just having your satnav updated.....
Too kind dear Emlyn too kind! Yes been a long time coming but getting there, I see your back in the fold again with another red R, albeit an estate this time. Looks really familar that reg it doesn't happen to be a manual wit black interior does it? P... DAB? Used to belong to a guy called Simon?

It'll be good to see how well it goes after its been fixed and with the forged rods and extra cooler for the box so it can run a bit more more boost.

thought I recognised it, was a nice car back then. If it's been looked aftershould still be a good one
Should be interesting, went well with the 1.1 bar in 1st and 2nd before. Be interesting to see what it feels like when it's done although I fear it maybe at the expense of traction... Althought would be good to see how it handles 1.3-1.4 in 2nd
Realising I missed not driving the car, theres a reason so many people sell up move on and come back, I just never got round to selling up before I came back. Itching and I mean itching to get it back now, it's been far too long....

Maybe only go for a bit more in first, 1.2, but go for 1.3-1.4 in second.
Traction shouldn't be an issue for an auto on the 1/4mile, but you never know ;-)

Perhaps, tbh it accelerated that quickly once on the move that it touched the rev limiter in 1st on occassion where it caught the box out and that was with 1.1 bar, not sure anymore in 1st would be a positive gain or a waste of Yokohamas! lol that said the limiter could be raised slightly.
Dave, it's not bad at all you know better! lol

I know what you mean, have driven both manual and auto versions of your car and I have to say the car feels a lot more suited to the auto box but you only need to breathe on the pedal and the low down torque sheads a mm from the rear tyres.... lol Nice spec on them though, does yours have the phone, tv and electronic adjustable steering wheel?
