Jack and i were discussing this last night, i can assure you 'B4' wasnt brought up as a list of potential cars for either of us

yeah we were aiming for more of the Mclaren F1 or Ford GT or Pagani Zonda....

I did suggest the Agera R and the Venom GT, but your chances of getting a GT are very slim Jack, Hennessey are only making 29 of them and 1 is in my name

If that's the case I think you should both share the wealth around a bit...

That's some big new there mate! And I'm sure you will be happy once you have changed and you have a new baby to look after

And what car are you thinking about getting? And are you off your P's yet?

ashamed to say i was off my P's 2 years ago.

and i have absolutely no idea what i want yet. i just want to return it back to stock and go from there.
a B4 is not ruled out but depends on if i can find a really good one. and being picky id want it in black. in saying that its also not on the top of my list at the moment.
i do want turbo or something that can be easily made turbo/supercharged. apart from that no other real preferences...

taking suggestions though.

All good mate no need to be ashamed and you have time to think about it and I shall have a look around and let you know what I can find for you

And all the Pagani talk is making me hot under the collar, this is more my style!

[Jack_Keaka]

ill probably go for the zonda. they sound fantastic.

anyway good news, i reset the preload on the coil overs and they feel fantastic again!
ill keep the car rolling how it is until i decide what i want to do. or if i want to pay off my camera before selling the car. either way ill be seriously shopping around, but i want to do my research first and plenty of it.

Sounds like a good idea to me and Jack and are you sure cause the new Pagani Huayra can butter my toast any day of the week... yummy :lol

Also I'm glad to hear you coilovers are back to normal and how did you "reset" them? Thanks

[Jack_Keaka]

Who knows? I may keep it and get a project car... Too many options for my brain to cope with.

Chris: you loosen the middle ring all the way away from the top ring, then unwind the top spring (which houses the spring)
All the way until you see or feel the spring loose from the housing.
From that, you wind it back up until you feel it ever slightly resists (so not loose to turn).
When you feel that, measure the length of the spring, (this should be 200mm for BC fronts)
Then tighten it up 5mm, then tighten the middle ring ad your done.

I feel your pain and its hard to decide and so I have gone with a project car but also a new daily but then will be the job of selling my car! Hoping to get 4.5k stock as a rock but that will be without the head gasket being fixed, if I cannot sell it I shall drive it until it stop

Also thanks for the info on the coilovers I really appreciate it Jack

Love what you've done with your car mate. The green theme really sets it off. How did you come by your front lip? Pretty hard to find other then brand new...

Cheers

[Jack_Keaka]

Thanks Rich, I purchased it new from Ultrex. I'd sell it to you but I have a buyer already unfortunately.
They are quite hard to find second hand.

[Scratchy]

Thanks mate. oh well, ill keep looking for something similar.. If your flogging anything else that you think I might be interested in, give us a yell!
Cheers
