I missed going around the RCZ camp. Got stuck on the PSC merchandise stall all day. Good to see you again Les. Will ask about the show plates from the committee and see where they were bought from and try and get some for the RCZ's.
Didnt even wash my car cos I thought it was going to be raining...
Depends on the price really, I went with original pug parts cos it was cheaper than tarox. Fish brothers for the discs were around £700 when I bought them. The original discs have lasted for just over 60k miles on mine
Great handling for sure, driven at sensible speeds (within 60mph :p) overtaking everything on snake pass (road between chesterfield and A6 to Manchester) even around all the sweeping bends as you can see all the way around them. Have footage taken from my dash cam. The great tyres ensured it...
Hoping that my new skoda will arrive shortly so the R can just be my fun car :cool:. Have roughly about a month or so to go before it turns up. That will be the work horse.
I bought the GODSPEED stainless steel pistons which are in mine now, so wont have the rust problem anymore. Didnt have them repainted though. Something I might do later dowm the line. Also bought the kevlar pads from godspeed and they seem ok so far.
Its all down to personal preference. For me niether was powerful enough and I only wanted the R.
So the question is depends on your driving style and how you will use the car.
Both models are reliable enough if maintained well, but you do get the occasional abused car which is expensive to sort...
Luckily I didnt go for a white one at the time, it had to be red or black. Have noticed the garages are struggling to sell them recently so the free fall has started again.
If i did buy another one it would have to extremely low mileage.....
Yes didn’t realise I get stung with that all at once. It was low mileage when I got it but using it as a daily is costly. But I think most people on here with an R have deep pockets. I would avoid running a car like the R on tight budget.
All jobs done on the car now and it all came to a £5 ;)
New pistons from Godspeed
New front OE discs and Kevlar pad
New OE timing chain kit
New OE Clutch fitted

SO basically everything has now been sorted and it should last at...
