GTB... 97 - with Iding suspension, Eurosport sports exhaust, carbon fibre sports seats Assembly number 26227 - engine - 46740 Image Unavailable, Please Login
Look great, feel comfortable and really set the car off! I had only tried the standards seats before I got my car and I reckon these feel much more supportive - just MHO and so each to their own.
Interior - the only changes are a new gear knob from Hill Engineering (non tarnish). Interior still smells brand new!! Image Unavailable, Please Login
Gorgeous. Congratulations on the new addition Felix. I guess the only thing it needs now is a good tire dressing.
Point taken - And agreed - I plan to spend a few hours with the zymol (titanium) and get it ready for the summer
very nice interior. Manual is always the right choice. it looks like a 5.2, is that right ? what tyres is it on now ? enjoy your car.
Thanks Yep a 5.2 and the tyres are Bridgestones (Expedias) - 4 new tyres (as said above - in need of dressing!!).
Looks the nuts. I'm a really big fan of the Ferrari metallic blues.I've never seen the sports seats in tan leather before.Very striking.Maybe see you on a drive out one day? Regards
Thanks Tony - hope to catch you guys on meet (be good to be amongst the minority - Blu!!) Image Unavailable, Please Login
Felix, that car is awesome. Can you tell us a little about the springs? Do you know how much is lowers the car?
A stunning 355. Didn't know there were any in BLM - very hot stuff! The seats are a great touch as well. --Dan
Thanks front is around two inches lower. The back is around 1.5 inches lower (measured form the overhangs). - Handles great and still manages the speed humps (just has to take them slowly!)
Thanks Dan I haven't seen too many in blu Le mans - May fit a challenge grill since I relaly like the look of them - that should be enough to set it apart from most others (blu, grill, iding suspension etc.)
2 Inches lower ?! You must love the speed humps round your way!! I have enough trouble on standard springs.
LOL yes - I have plenty of them too - car is ok if you crawl over them. Not quite sure how the suspension is set up (KHPC did it) but the front still has just enough clearance to get over the hump before the wheel starts to take it. The effect the lowering has had is to remove virtually all the daylight from above the tyres. Still have the old springs and exhaust if I want to reverse the mods but I have given it a good beasting and its a ride height I can live with.
Well, if you can live with the humps in Central London,assuming that's where you are, you'll prob . be ok on the lowered springs full stop.
yep... only problem I might have had was losing the number plate - KHPC fitted a smaller one (uses motorcycle lettering). I guess I will get stopped for that at some stage but it does look much better and doesn't make contact with the ground when climing the humps (will post a picture)
Why not consider a stick on one? You can get them made smaller than std. size if you need to (for less lettering) and they follow the contour of the front apron. They look legal and it'd take a real stickler to pull you for one. I'd certainly have a big argument with them if I were ever pulled for it. Andy PS Will also peel off the car without damage if necessary, and is lighter than the std plate Image Unavailable, Please Login
