Hi all, been on the forum a little while researching and looking at bits just before I bought one of of my own. Managed to pick up 2004 in Royal Navy Blue with 80k on the clock. Needs a few minor bits sorting and tidying up. Also waiting for a nice weekend to underseal it. Anyway here's a few pictures.
Haha! I went for the first real drive in it at the weekend and it's incredible. I've had some quick cars before but as a whole package the S is on a different level. I don't want to push it too much as the cars been stood for 2 years and all the fluids need replacing asap really.
I'm just waiting for them to be delivered then I can sort it. I also need to take the rear lights out and clean them up, they've got a bit of mold from where it's been stood.
Yeah we were playing pub car top-trumps the other day and as we went around the table I realised I didn't know the performance figures for the S, I know it's fairly quick but didn't think it was a 6.0 second 0-60 - I won apparently and on BHP too. Didn't do max RPM but I'm pretty certain I'd have won on that, oh and BHP per litre even against turbo direct injection cars...
Well worth getting the geometry checked too and hopefully your bolts aren't seized - a job you might want to do before undersealing.
I've been looking around the forum at the geo setup and just trying to find the best place to get it done in the East Midlands? I'm going to take a guess that the bolts will be seized as it's been stood for so long so I'll set myself up for the worst.
Not any immediate plans to no, I love how it drives at the minute so I'll just get used to it then see about lowering it. I'll only be lowering it for driving purposes though although it would look better and inch lower imo.
