3 Year Old and Running Strong

AndyT · 09-03-2017, 12:38 AM

Although not the current model anymore, still love this beast better. Guess the new one hasn't grow on me yet

3 year old and running strong, only 23k km but DCT has been replaced recently because of a clicking sound when shifting 2 to 3rd, does not affect the performance but any weird sound makes me nervous. Gotta love the Dinan warranty when you can run close to 700hp and don't have to worry about driving hard.

And with my personal experience, even with PS4S 275 front and 305 rear, it's not enough and almost got me into an accident, our cars need Cup 2 or R888R with any decent tunes.

My apology for the bad photo shooting skill

Our cars are actually pretty strong if we take care of them. Glad your enjoying yours.

I like what you did with the side skirts there! also, is that a Frozen/Matte wrap?

Thank you guys!

It's the factory frozen brilliant white, but even when the car was new back in 2014 the bumpers were somewhat different in color as the metal parts.

I once replaced a faulty sensor and after the 3rd replacements special ordered from Germany, the color were never the same.

I gave up on that long time ago.

Car looks great man! Mines almost a year old and I'm loving it even more than when I got it and looking forward to continue enjoying it in the years to come. So the stock rims can handle 275 and 305 in the back? Any downside to going with the wider tires? Is there rubbing in the front at full lock? Any impact on steering feel?

I'm on CP height no rubbing or clearance issues. This is the widest you can go with stock rims. The car's turning characteristic does change quite a bit after getting very comfortable pushing the stock PSS around for 2 years. But maybe the PS4S has to do with that as well.

Cool thanks! I might get the larger size tires once my stocks once wear out. I'm assuming there's no change with the speedometer reading either since it's just the width that changes.
