Lioks like its about to roll over or pop a tyre.
They grip like cats on Velcro so you have to chuck 'em about a bit to make things livelier.

But rest assured no tyres ever popped. When the limits of adhesion were finally reached at silly speeds, it simply snapped into a massive waltzing spin that my driving skills were absolutely no match for! Car and driver were both fine but I was nicknamed "tankslapper" for a while afterwards...

I've got one and I absolutely love it!!

One of the last ones being on a 53 plate and IMO in the best colour.
More temperamental than my Mrs and on par with being as needy. Obviously being the age they are, things are wearing out so it's an opportunity to improve them in my eyes.

A decent remap brings these to life along with a few other choice mods such as 3inch downpipe & system and 3inch turbo intake pipe etc

Have also retrofitted a RNS-E to bring the dashboard a bit more up to date.

Check for roof rail rust, sill rust behind the plastics, haldex service history etc.






Now sat on its winter wheels and tyres

Apologies for the thread resurrection!
I’ve just bought one. 2001 Imola Yellow, with the Yellow/Black Recaros.
Massive history file and really nice condition.

Really like that Imola one. Always fancied one of these, but went 325ti instead back in the day when I had the chance
