    the new R

    well since i sold the t5r i always missed the power and the noise of the 5pot and sometimes wished i never sold the thing.
    well i am now back with a 850R manual estate , the cars off this forum and isnt to bad but it does need a few little bit to make it into a very nice car.
    plus its got some nice mods already done which stopped the progress of the t5r
    gaz coilovers
    ferrita turbo back exhaust
    and a few other little bits , the 2 above are great mods to the car
    other mods planned are
    RIP kit and a throttle body upgrade
    me7 exhaust manifold
    remap
    and maybe change the turbo housing to and angled version and mod the downpipe to suit.



    so had the car just over a week only had time to wash it once and didnt have time to get any pics (tomorrow hopefully)
    it had a few knocks and bangs which i thought was down to the coilovers but it pulled to the left , had the trackin done and still the same.
    so i had a spare weekend this weekend and set away trying to find the cause
    driver side drop link has play , no probs
    but some 1 had messed with the rear suspension and snapped a bolt in the car body which resulted in the rear top mount tearing away from the car (not pointing fingers at all)
    but my m8 been the gent he is came down and rewelded the car so its all good now
    had a look round the rest of the car to make sure everything was fine. well 3 bolts missing from the gearbox and 1 from the starter motor , easy fixes and no harm done just wish i had been informed about the other mistake






















    will get some pics up tomorrow after its been washed
    cheers

    I did get a pic of the worst one, but my phone went flat. TBH, they are dull and blistering and not very appealing. The tyres have a few thou left in them with 2 quite worn suitable for the rear wheels, but I want them on my C70, so I will be keeping them.Name:  IMG-20130301-00010.jpg

    You're top of the list if I decide to sell them. I think for £120 they are a steal and at least 2 other peeps have been after them besides you.

    Haha, I like the look of the standard one but if i were you I'd put that one away and get another to spray black.
    As for wheels, if you get 18's you will only end up getting rid as they they don't suit your driving style remember.
