Very happy with her indeed. Just picked up today - 2.0L Sport in Highland Green & black leather. She's had the Eibachs put on but she's only done 50 miles or so, so they've not fully settled yet.

Either way I'm made up to finally have my first RWD car and the drive and handling is just fantastic.

Very nice Sir ! But riding a teeny bit high maybe ? Are you expecting her to settle a bit lower ?

Yup she should drop a little bit more as the springs were only put on yesterday. Give it a week or so I think before it's dropped properly.

looks great, however tell me that was a pre-reg car? Otherwise I've got to ask why you didn't wait 24 hours for an 09 plate?

Because I'm impatient! hehe Also with a facelift model out next month I don't think it'll make a hoot of difference in 3 years time, and also I don't particularly care about the plate that the cars carrying.

But basically because I wanted it this weekend! driving

Lovely looking car that, I hope to see it out on an SAS hoon at some time in the near future.

Why do I recognise the scenary? Is that in Kingston not far from Portsmouth Road?
