evo97 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 As you may know i purchased Marks narrow last week end. Unfortunately i havent used it all week due to work commitments. Well just came back from a 4hr hoon!!! The car is....... Well words dont describe it unless i throw in some langauge that the mods wont take to kindly. Anyway the car is a joy on some of my fav "B" roads. Really cant wait now to get on a track day to explore her limits safely with run off areas. Didnt want to come back home. Very rarely miss a Snooker final lol but just couldnt stop driving it. The noise is truly additive with the induction and straight cut box. Ive even turned 18 again and blipping the throttle on downshifts lol. Anyway praise the lord for sky+ as im now gonna do the Masters. Oh wheres the cheapest for 888's ? There bl**** soft! I think i may need a set soon :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markcoopers Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Glad you are getting slowly up to speed with her, bit different from you passenger hoon hey on the moist roads up through benefild bends? On a serious note chap, take it easy whilst you learn. oh and if you get a drop of oil on the garage floor, check the catch tank drain first. I put new o rings on it the last time but a paper washer would be better as it does wheep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo97 Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 Ha certainley wasnt at that pace mate!!!! Didnt get the rear end dance at 70 in 3rd you nutta. Thanks for the heads up on the tank. As the sight window is useless how often did you drain it? Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markcoopers Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 When I had a drip I emptied it, never saw anything in the sight glass and only emptied it once. Steer from the rear is a good feeling, find an empty space to practise, or come along to our RAF Alconbury play day as this is a safe wide open area to learn about oversteer.
