New e86 SI owner - UK midlands

Post by Simmo2468 » Sat Nov 30, 2019 4:13 pm

Hey All,

Wanted to officially introduce myself as I picked up my coupe last weekend, and have been reading a lot of the threads on here. Loving it so far, and enjoying tramlining my way through the Midlands!

Already planning a few things, including ditching the RFT's, black grilles, black alloys, zhp gear knob, cruise control retrofit and maybe a roof wrap (undecided on that) . Only thing changed so far is one of the foams taken out of the noise generator pipe!

(I did get round to cleaning and polishing it after these pics but it was too dark for a second round of photos :D )

Hi and welcome to Coupe ownership. Yours looks stunning in that colour combination with the Piano Black trim. :thumbsup: And you've got the Bi-Xenons - result!

That's a good list of planned mods, but you might also want to consider getting the Clutch Delay Valve removed.
Coupes because stunning!

Welcome! I'm based in Stafford so perhaps I'll see you on the road. I had a good run down to Solihull in my coupe over the weekend.
