kosmic Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Picked it up last night....in Jezzas' words "This car is ASTONISHING" Absolutely mental, you get that instant surge from turbo 1 and even that is satisfying enough but when no.2 comes online .... Ive been in a few members cars, Imi,Rush,terribleturner and all of those were rapid but actually owning your own....its a nice feeling. Didnt realise wha a jump up it is from the NA....a completely different animal altogether. Car is a RED (i love red) GZ, totally standard (not for long though)! Absolutely love it. Gotta get a couple of things seen to....brakes are quite spongy (new pads/discs and fluid change) and give it a full service and a once over. Sorry for the poor quality pics http://img143.echo.cx/img143/1623/image000639ia.jpg http://img143.echo.cx/img143/6915/image000624ki.jpg http://img143.echo.cx/img143/5811/image000618yu.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supRo Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 From stock, being de-catted and and taking it to 1.2 bar makes a big difference! Going single is better, of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornimac Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Nice one, Sandeep! Looking forward to our next meet convoy so you can play with your beast in company no doubt Slow down on the mods... wheels before turbo remember... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmic Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 Nice one, Sandeep! Looking forward to our next meet convoy so you can play with your beast in company no doubt Slow down on the mods... wheels before turbo remember... Cheers mate, yes id like to get wheels changed (Volk) and UK brakes ASAP before concentrating on the cosmetics of the car. Next would be suspension and then onto a decent exhaust system and then perhaps the land of BPU. For the time being im just enjoying the car as Mr. T intended. Really looking forward to the next meet so i can keep up with all you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornimac Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 So yours is completely stock like mine? Including exhaust? At least you have stock wheels and won't worry about junking them for some after market jobbies to fit some UK brakes under. Just watch that it's the width clearance of the UK calipers that's the stinger not the diameter fit of the discs. Learnt that recently. (Thanks Laz!!)

kosmic Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 Yes, its completely stock....even has the original factory stereo system!!! Ill be sure to get the correct offset/width to clear the UK brakes....the j-spec brakes were bad enough in the NA...completely useless in a TT.
