19 cars and counting - Calibra/200SX/E46 BMW x 8!
Discussion
Shorter driver and you could have a child seated behind. We’ve used it on occasion as a family but it isn’t it’s forte by any means.
Not too much to update.
F11 - oil change (6k since last) and MOT no advisory pass. For how cheap an oil change is I will just change the oil every year at the MOT for this car. Tyres all around 3mm currently. Think I will give the Conti SportContact 7’s a go all round once the current lot are completely dead. No issues with the car (other than some headlight condensation resolved by removing the top caps). 9 times out of 10 it’s the better car to be in than the GTR.
GTR - starting to feel more comfortable spending on this car as it helps the GTR market is up since I bought it. Just imported and fitted SBD FF5 wheels (very similar to Advan GT Beyond) from the US. The rears are a 12J so now running 335/30/20 rears and 285/35/20 fronts.
Quite tempted with a few interior tweaks next (Alcantara wheel, maybe seats, and taking out some of the red/silver). May also follow fellow owners and sound deaden the boot + behind the rears seats.
(this is also the new distance I now park from kerbs)
