About time I said hello - Doncaster New R6 Owner

[WESTINI]

I haven't seen it so I haven't read it...............

Thanks for the info, appreciated. Paul.

I'll have to take some pics shortly, I have been busy in the garage every evening for the past week (since collection) painting all the blue visible bits black, changing the silver mesh grill for a black one, putting more stickers on, fitting the seat runner (so the other half can drive it on sprint days), painting the garage,.. Hopefully tomorrow's sunny and I can go for a drive out..

Well... it didn't take long... cars now with Tiger for a week or so, having the front end upgraded to Ford components... new coil overs all round, with damper adjustment, new indicators, new harnesses, new steering rack (quicker rack), new rear lights (LED ones, as fitted to the newer models)... and new wings all round.. just black ones, not the carbon ones currently fitted.. next is wheels (team dynamics pro race ones) and then steering wheel..

I decided to change it a little bit, some of which didn't actually need doing, but would have eventually, so might aswell get it done before summer and enjoy it rather than working on it..

So, I'll have a few bits that are being removed for sale shortly.. just have to decide on prices and post it up..

Paul.

Seems to be the way... I could have lived with out the upgrades to be honest, and none of them were urgently required, but the slightly wider track on the front end, and the new steering rack along with the new coilovers will make the car handle better, the new wings just make it look better, as with the LED rear lights.. that's mostly all cosmetic vanity...

Hi Paul, glad to hear you are enjoying the new car. Welcome!

[WESTINI]

Still enjoying the car, can't wait for the weather to buck its ideas up, will be doing 5 trackdays minimum this year, 3 at blyton park, 1 at cadwell and one at donnington. All the upgrades I planned have been completed, minus the power upgrade, as I'm currently happy with it being within safe limits for the standard spec and internals.. maybe next year I'll go down that road, I'd much rather work with this car than sell and get one with more power.. its the one I wanted for a year before getting the opportunity to buy it, so I'm not selling it now.. few recent pics to update my original post..









Thanks, Paul.
