Fast road track car... Next year me and the mrs's plan to buy a facelift 9 as our daily driver.

1month and 4days

 

[Mattharvey12]

thats even more impressive
haha
near here i will have 6k for a 9 and that is a good estimate, i worked it out.
but insurance will devistate me most likely

Thats a good lump of cash mate. You may be suprised by the insurance. When you looking at?

 

[Mattharvey12]

well basically i have to sell my car to get it. one of my mates is obsessed with it and he said if he starts to learn when he turns 17 he will buy it. but preferably before summer next year. but if insurance is to much i will just wait till december (20th bday) and save up a bit more and get an even more mint one

 

[Marcus Butlerus]

Certainly am. 11 DAYS in August.

i see you have a buddy club racing spec condenser.what is that?

Its an earth kit with an amplifier basically to keep a charge in the electrical system. Something like that. I actually noticed a difference when i fitted it to my EK4. Better fuel economey, throttle response seemed better and the best one of all my car idled better and the stereo was crisper... Must have had really bad earths me thinks.

Looking good dude, can't wait to see the progress!

Calipers etc arrived today btw, thanks mate!

Excellent mate give them a good clean up and they'll be perfect.

make sure to upgrade the brakes

Oh i will i'd like Spoon calipers.... If not just uprated pads, i'm very impressed with stock, so much better than the EK4 brakes.

its been stripped and mods added so quickley because me and martin helped wheres my thanks ian ;P

Sorry, thanks matt and martin for all your help i would not have been able to do it without you...

Tidy! Should be ready for HOT @ Coombe!

Quite possibly money permitting got lots to do...


Small update
