New MY09 3.0R Spec-B Owner!

Postby karlos879 » Sat May 11, 2013 9:13 pm

Hi all,
New Liberty owner and 1st post.
Always wanted a Spec-B and finally managed to do it, a 2009 Spec-B in diamond grey, unfortunately an auto but the flappy paddles are ok, 65,000km, sat nav etc.
Bit of a risk, bought it sight unseen and had it trucked to me in Adelaide from QLD, but well worth the risk!
It is almost absolutely immaculate and I love it!!
Never even driven a Spec-B before so I'm still getting used to it. But I don't think I ever want to drive it when it's not in sports mode! I love this engine!

Satnav needs updating, but seems an update disc is in the hundreds of dollars...seems a bit rude!
Have done a bit of reading and looking for a few ideas and some advice. Needs a service so wondering what the recommendations are for oil etc?
And also wondering what small mods I can make to bring out the absolute best of this wonderful machine?
Before some more serious improvements in the medium term!
Any good ideas?
Karl.

At least it seems to have gone to good hands ha ha Conveniently one similar showed up in Sydney soon after anyways. Only thing it doesn't have is the navigation which I'm not to worried about.

A good home indeed James! It will be very much appreciated! Glad to hear another popped up for you.

BJ, I'm in the western suburbs, by the beach!
