My First Aston - info on spec
Discussion
Hi all
After collecting my first ever Aston on Friday last week and it going immediately to AML performance for a service and MOT I finally get to pick it up tomorrow and drive the car home to Leicestershire.
I have the paperwork from the car's service history and it has all sorts of upgrades all carried out by AM Wilmslow. I know what most of them are in terms of what changes / additions it made but I'd just like to clarify and wondered if other owners and those who know more than me might be able to help.
The car is a 2006 MY 4.3 Vantage, but it was only registered on the 1 Jan 2007. The previous (and only) owner used to send it to AM Wilmslow for all it's servicing and seems to have been a good customer for them in terms of upgrades. The car has:
Powerpack - I understand this to be a new inlet manifold, modified air boxes and and ECU re-flash to give (supposedly) 400hp?
N400 Sills - pretty self explanatory
Sports exhaust system - part number 6G33-35-10541 - what differences / benefits does this give over the standard item? Just noise or power too?
F&R carbon diffuser kit - again pretty self explanatory.
Sports Pack - Seems to be suspension and wheels (they are N400 wheels as far as I can tell). Was this springs or shocks and springs.
Seems there is a good £15k+ or extras on there. Only some of which were listed in the advert!
Cheers

Here's the sports pack info:

Here's the powerpack info:

Not sure about the exhaust, you might get a couple of horses, but most will be from the power pack (app. 20BHP increase)

Cheers. So looks like whole new dampers for the sports pack.
When I click on the link it shows me the price for a couple of seconds and then it disappears. Looks like about £5k now. Think
I think you can get the sports pack for about £3.5k from the dealers. But at least you know you have the 'uprated' bilsteins (rather than the original dynamic ones).When I click on the link it shows me the price for a couple of seconds and then it disappears. Looks like about £5k now. Think
Get some pictures up tomorrow, looks like you picked a nice weekend for it.
enjoy !!
