I've known it for 8 years and i'm convinced it doesn't like me for some reason. No idea why with all the money it gets lavished on it :roll:

Mine come back out on the 1st April, and into hibernation at the end of September!

SR is taxed insured and MOT'd at the minute, but I haven't drove it yet with the salt on the roads! If I was driving it everyday it wouldn't matter so much, but there is no point taking it a run, and then leaving it back in the garage with the salt eating away at it.

Mine never went away, its still out now (just not very driveable :p)

Make sure the underbody protection is good and waxoyl inside of the chassis!!! Then you can drive it in all weathers!!

just keep an ee on usual places, and keep inside rear arch lips etc clean!

I've just sorned the saloon from the 1st March onwards. Will probably get it ONR for the start of July.

Just haven't got the time to take it out, plus, moving offices to our factory and not willing to allow it to be covered in cement dust so no chance of the occasional "use it to go to work" day.

The turbo has been out playing today seen as it's dry! It really upset a golf r32 a couple of times on the motorway too!

srs1
14-02-09, 05:07 PM
good to hear that lee, hehehe

so the cars is being your friend for a change. wish our regional co-ordinator would sort out a meeting soon, could have a nosey around the turbo if its dry

Lee H
14-02-09, 05:10 PM
Still a few more little problems to iron out but pretty happy with it at the moment. Clutch is still slipping in 6th though which is a pain as gearbox might have to come off yet again!

andybishop
14-02-09, 05:17 PM
Think mine will be coming out around May after i've done a few more bits and pieces on it. Miss driving it whenever I want though, but roads are too crappy at the moment.

I'd like to think the R32 was just a small dot in your mirror!:thumb:

Lee H
14-02-09, 05:34 PM
Was closer than a dot, but i was pulling away quite a bit till I backed off. Didn't change down from 6th though and clutch is slipping, still on standard boost too!
