I’ve seen plenty of Steve’s work around.......stunning !!!! This is an absolute steal @ £850 imo.

And to further add confusion: Continental Contisport 6 would be my choice for road use. Grip is fab wet or dry and last really well.

Ha ! Thanks. The other cars in the family will not be getting Ceramic coated though ! With the kids now all driving; we've got 6 vehicles in the house these days..... :astonished: Tell me about maintenance of the finish Antti ? I asked on Detailing-World forum (Being new to all this !) and it...

I've managed to give myself food poisoning this weekend. "Illness" certainly puts a sour taint on the fun things doesn't it ! But sounds like between others mechanical failure / normal track-day shenanigans you managed a good time. And look at the colour of the sky !! I bet the instruction was...

Is the Redline a 946ml bottle or something silly ? My garage couldn't quite get even 2 in from memory. I think 'most' people just fly two whole bottles in. Not saying thats strictly 100% correct ! But yea - looking back the Fuchs was pretty 'horrific' for me. Others mileage may vary...

Collected car from the Valeters this morning after going in primarily to be Ceramic coated this week: Multi-stage machine polish, 2 coats of KKD Re-volve on the wheels and 2 coats of CarPro Quartz 3.0 on paintwork, bumper / diffuser and mirrors. Initial thoughts: Is it night and day better...

I don’t want to pee on anyone’s chips or be negative - but have to say that from my experience the Fuchs was the worst gearbox oil I tried by quite a margin and did nothing for mine whatsoever. The stock Elf was ‘ok - no more, the Castrol (Syntrax ?) was good and Redline MTL the best by some...

Good stuff ! Driveshaft boot is what it is: but you must have been bricking it ref the ‘missing screwdriver’. What a nightmare. Sounds like you and the car just get better and better together....

A combo of cam sensor, new belts (Proper timing ?) got you there in the end... Bet it’s transformed it !! What your plans with the air feed to acoustic valve side of air box ? I bought some silicon joiners, Aluminium pipe etc - and removed my acoustic valve and routed the pipe work down low...

Cool ! Some of the (track boys ?) slate it. I thought it revolutionised the feel of these boxes......and I’ve tried a few ! Enjoy hugely :sunglasses:

Awesome update. Chuffed for you ! Ain’t Redline MTL the bollocks in these boxes....

This one deffo isn’t that ! :smirk: :tearsofjoy: I agree with all you’ve said though. £12k is peanuts to many for what is an iconic car / to add to an enthusiasts collection being last model, top spec etc For the average Joe with a few quid its some supplement over a late stock 200 though...

Good to see you around. Bet the cars driving fab with recent refreshments ! Wheels look the bullocks. Pricey ?

Welcome and congrats. Unless you’re gonna Meg the engine for more power: fettle the handling and enjoy the twisty bits.....

I’m with you. Exclusive of course. And I reckon seller will get the best chunk of that too. But not desirable to me personally: especially at more than double the price a decent late 200 can be had for. ***We’ll both be looking tw**s when they are making £20k in a few years and ours are worth...

You ducting direct to disks ? Seen the ones that ‘print’ liquid metal now ? Mad......

I with you. I loved / still love and enjoy hugely - the tactile process of waxing etc. But what I also value the older I get: is my time. So if I can shorten my over anal and longer than most cleaning regime - then all the better. I ‘think’ it’s a road that once you trod on - you won’t go...

Talking of which. 3.5 days in (Detailer has seemingly now cleaned and treated underside, arches etc too :hushed: ) and paintwork is machined up and ready for a couple of coats of CarPro CQuartz 3.0 Ceramic coating over the next couple of days. Wheels have already been off, polished and prepped...

Yes ! I wouldn’t consider the best part of £13k on what is still a MK3 for a single millisecond personally....

Great info. Something I researched when buying springs myself. But overlooked noting here on this thread !
