That 4GC is the nicest new car ive seen in a while. Theres a 4 Coupe in the same colour around town here, not near half as well proportioned as yours. Well wear!

The big surprises so far are the 8-speed ZF, chunky steering wheel and the brembo brake upgrade. Makes it far more of a drivers car than you'd expect. It's the new b47 engine with 190hp & 400 torque, so it's well able to shift itself along

Front parking sensors were going mental today - had to drop back to the garage to get the reg plate replaced. It had curled on the edges

More planning than skill, I'd say.

I'm sure he wanted the "all 1's" pic, so he reset the trip at 11100 miles.

ha! well spotted. borrowed from a friend for a few weeks between selling my last car and getting this one. Carrera S. Not very practical with 2 kids, but great fun

Noccy_Mondy · 03-07-2015 12:11am

Ah I see... i just skimmed through a lot of the chat, missed that part it seems! At least I was right though

Yeh, had a lend of a 911 carrera S from a v generous friend for the past few weeks in between selling my e61 and getting the new one.

We're a one car family btw, so I accepted the challenge! that car has done everything a hatchback would do. My 8 and 6yo boys loved being in the back

Had it out for a drive tonight, it goes home tomorrow

GvidoR · 03-07-2015 12:13am

It makes me wonder what does your friend have as his first car, assuming he let you borrow his secondary car. :P

There's one of those very close to where I live (may not be 1992 but the same generation anyway). Jesus, the state of it... rust everywhere, interior is like the inside of a wheelie bin and it's very loud... I have no idea how the owner can drive that.

The 4 GT looks the business, best of luck with it. Was the rear tint aftermarket? Almost makes it look like a commercial.

its a shadowline option - it came as a pack with the brake upgrade, 2-tone alloys and harman kardon surround sound.

its far darker than I expected - you can put your nose up to the glass and still can't see in

Lardy · 03-07-2015 1:56pm

Front end Friday!

Fixed the bottom grill and replaced the number plate surround. Still a few more little jobs to do before I'm happy with it. Going for a full valet and detail next.

keeping with the MB theme - here's a recent one.
Could do with a good clean one of these days...

Noccy_Mondy · 03-07-2015 3:09pm

Where did you get them reg plates Lardy? They look well!

I'm going through a reg plate phase at the minute.

GvidoR · 03-07-2015 3:14pm

A lot of chrome around the plate though

The colour of them is perfect with that blue but I think it would've gone better on the stock wheels.

colm_mcm · 03-07-2015 8:58pm

What size are those alloys?

03-07-2015 9:06pm

There 18s, exact same size/width as oem only difference is offset, 38 on these vs 60 on oem

knifey_spoonie · 03-07-2015 9:12pm

Newest member of the family. The plan is to build it into a race car over the winter, but until the build starts its great fun for the weekends.

Has a 3sgte (2.0 turbo) full stand alone ecu , 4 pot front brakes and a couple of other tasty bits. Its also gained the nickname "Bangey" to due to Anti Lag, gotta love Anti Lag

colm_mcm · 03-07-2015 9:14pm

Wow! Do you still have the saloon?

Big Nasty · 03-07-2015 9:31pm

@ 5500 - did I see you around Ballinteer in that recently? Nice burble outta it if so.

Jaysis, been a while since i've seen that e10, that's the woodsport built one isn't it? Was a great looking car in it's day, must be great blowing people away in it with them thinking she's 1.3

The chap who had it a couple of owners back still has some parts of it for sale on TOC i think, a half cage and a few bits.

Best of luck with it

65 km and counting. An economical company car just means there's more money to spend on my V12 now :cool:

Correct it was built by WoodSport in the UK, Hoping to get the car down to 62-63 second lap on the Mondello National within the year.

Plans for bigger turbo,find a proper diff, maybe move the engine further towards the bulk head, and one hell of a cage which will incorporate all the suspension pick up points, and hoping to have some pretty cool aero on it too.

Always had a soft spot for those yokes, and even I don't know why, because they're definitely not pretty!

Staph · 05-07-2015 8:38pm

They are definitely not the prettiest, but there's something about them! I like something a little off-beat and when I started looking into Subaru's, it just ticked a lot of boxes.

@Davycc, that's what it is.

neilthefunkeone · 06-07-2015 9:51pm

Pic at a kinda empty c&c on Sunday between the rain showers!!

And my 318is after sitting up for a year being cleaned up and taken by its new owner on Sunday.

Changed the wifes rear lights on the GP, wasn't a fan of the original ones so I got a pair from an Evo GP.
Look ok?
