Good choice!
I'd call my R as a "hard working car". I put a lot of miles on it and mainly on very fast autobahn stretches doing +130mph all the time (where unlimited). This gives me a lot of opportunities to run across various other sports cars. And as the R looks like a small sports car very...
For me, the R is one of the rare cars where I just jump in for the fun of driving it. I also drive a lot other cars. And few rentals too. But they are just usual cars, boring, predictable, none existing feedback from the road, just boxes on 4 wheels.
But not the R. Each time I get into it, it...
Based on what you wrote I'd say those front pads will easily be good for at least 3 annual services. I'd say over 30.000 miles.
They only will go earlier when you push the car and brakes to the limit.
If your car is still on the OEM Goodyear tyres (which are perfect for the R), the fronts will...
hi guys,
so there is a new version of NG4 software out there, 42.01c.
Does anybody have insight into some Pug documentation to learn what the changes are compared to the previous 42.01b? :greetings-wavingblue:
Congrats on the R!
I have been with the R to London twice (downtown, outskirts) and never had any issues with speed bumps. The front overhang is not too long, so there is no issue.
Brakes and tyres. I can tell you a lot about those as I do close to 30.000 miles a year on the R alone. But tell...
Welcome to the R club!
I've done over 40.000 miles on my R so far. And the ODO doesnt stop there :)
Honestly you don't "need" any tweaks to that motor. Unless you go with it on a race track and push the very limit. Then I'd suggest to put some brace struts underneath. But everything else cope...
Re: Replacement alloys + winter tyres for my 'R'. 235/45/R18
forget it. 18" won't fit on the R. the brake calipers are too wide and too big. it is not only about the diameter of those discs. :greetings-wavingblue:
I have seen that 308R from inside. Looks absolutely bonkers. 4 bucket seats from the RCZ R, a very strange and cool looking mesh on the dashboard. Very promising.
There is a device on the market which does ionisation to the air circulated in the car's cabin. They put that small box (like a shoe box) inside the car, hook it up to cigarette lighter, turn the AC on, close all doors and recirculate the air for like an hour or two. No persons are allowed...
Re: The RCZ is tucked in for the winter. Meet the new winter
I do drive my R second winter now. Each winter about 10-15.000 miles.
Yes, all the car gets covered with salt and very often I do not have time to wash it. So it stays on the car for days or weeks. But it doesnt do any visible damage...
