EVO review with the new M2 and GT4 is very complimentary of the R smile

Confirming in their view that albeit a track focussed car it works well on UK blacktop !!

Collected today, just 14m on it! Dealer told me 750m below 3.5k revs then another 750 below 5.5k revs to run in.

Got to say it feels a really special car love

Picked up mine on Saturday. Love the sound and I don't miss the rear mirror. I have to say it rides higher and feels softer out of the box than I was expecting. I can't see any info on how to alter the ride height or adjust dampers which is a shame.

I think I like it softer on track. Ride height is a difficult one. I assume you are able to manually lower and this affects camber (ie more negative?)

I'm likely to ask for it in the -10mm setup available

So I'm claiming this as "our" thread!

What oil temp are you guys using as the start point to press on? Still running in so not going mad of course.

TX.

Edit - oh and no tyre temps that I can find?!

Given the slightly unusual approach to ‘set up’ on the original cars I’d probably be going to Spires and speaking to Life110 to refine your geo ? Big investment and you want it spot on don’t you !!

The standard cars restrict power /revs until about 70degrees c- I always wait for it to be about 72 before pressing on -

I’ve checked that against the water/oil temps in the Telematics. The blue thermometer goes when the water temp reaches 75C. At that point the oil temp is much lower, and it takes another ~10 minutes for the oil to get to 80C which I feel is “up to temperature”.

So windows down today, get home turn off ignition and get out. Windows won't shut by holding lock button. Open door still won't shut. Turn on ignition still won't shut. Had to turn the car back on!

Is that right?

My normal A110’has alwyas been like that? No gloabal open/close on the key, and never works on the ignition only either.

It *will* work when you’ve turned off the car but not opened the doors yet, however.

Hi there,

There was a guide posted over on the Alpine A110 facebook group

I have uploaded it to this link

Hope that helps.

Someone in another thread said this is the optional sub for "advanced" focal, in behind the seat? And that it weighs 3kg?

I didn't option the optional "better" focal so are they talking bks.

Not sure if it weighs 3kg - but the subwoofer is behind the passenger seat on the Focal premium system. Whether it is "better" or not is a matter for debate.
