Hi,
Just thought i'd say a quick hello and present another coupe!
It's an 06 Sport in Midnight Blue with cream nappa leather and piano black finish.
Had the little beast for about a month and absolutely loving it...gave up the company car and got back into something a bit more interesting.
Having been lurking for a while I thought i'd put up some pics and say thanks for all the info!
Mods so far
- New stubby is on the way, tried a cheapie from Ebay and the reception was awful, so ordered the BMW one so hopefully that works better.
- Interior led lights
- Runflats have been ditched in favour of Michelin SS4 - drives sooo much better!
- Pioneer DEH 80PRS head unit and Focal components - had the basic 6 speaker setup and multichanger...it wasn't bad...but having been spoiled by a B&O setup in the previous car I really wanted something a bit better and with all the features whilst not breaking the bank...so far so good and having the mid's put back in the door makes a difference and the HU is decent enough to power them well enough.
I'm still tempted by getting an Amp and maybe a powered sub in the boot but...i'll let my bank balance recover a bit first!
- ZHP gear knob ordered and hopefully fitted this week, the current silver short knob looks nice but has a bit of wiggle and doesn't feel quite right...
- LeatherZ centre armrest - not cheap but really useful!
- Ordered the liquid leather kit and made a start on cleaning the seats before using the dye...that's a job for next weekend hopefully.
- Very tempted by the CSL reps and quad exhausts in the future, but for now I think i'm pretty much set.
So far so good, just need to drive it more
Also just to pick up on something someone mentioned in another thread about fuelling...
1st tank - Shell optimax - no problem
2nd tank - Tesco unleaded - within 10mins it was lurching and juddering...thought i'd royally f*kd something up.
Tried the Fuel sensor reset trick thingy - (switch it on / off 15secs etc) and seemed to behave a bit better after that and topped it up with Shell again soon after and it's behaved ever since..so there does seem to be some sensitivity / adjustment period.
Cheers
