My New Baby

Sorry about the previous post with no pics you were all correct, file size was too big. They are here now.
Just back from the country and our measured track. The car was awesome. In it's standard form with only 350km she beat our modded REX exiting at 212kph as opposed to the STI at 207kph. Unbelievable...

Hi Mike,

Lovely car, lovely colour! Very very nice. Can't wait to see it in the flesh when you have it down here at Andrew's for your mods.

Wayne,

Should be there in early Oct, We are waiting for arrival of a mates 135i LeMans Blue, then both to Andrew for some interesting additions. Have you heard any news re LSD??? I consider this an essential part of the upgrade process.

Kris · 08-26-2008, 07:13 PM

Congrats

You will have to speak to Andrew about LSD. But a Sydney member has successfully put one in.

d3syd · 08-26-2008, 07:34 PM

Beautiful. Sedona looks different on overcast days. Chameloen like.

Zuzu · 08-26-2008, 07:46 PM

Congrats mate...:thumbup:

Amazing how the colour changes with light variances.

amk2912 · 08-26-2008, 09:08 PM

Well done mate - told you Sedona Red was hot and that you shouldn't be worried.

As each day goes by I love the colour more.

MikeVictor · 08-26-2008, 09:47 PM

Beautiful looking car mate. The Sedona Red was almost my pick as well.

Wraith · 08-26-2008, 09:58 PM

You see, as we told you in the other thread - no need to worry about the colour, it looks very nice :wink:

Congrats and enjoy your new pride n joy :smile:

Oh, are you going to colour code the rear spoiler or leave it as is ??

2QIK4U · 08-26-2008, 10:09 PM

Wraith,

Will leave as is. The CF Black spoiler compliments the dark window treatment nicely.

Wraith · 08-26-2008, 10:11 PM

Sounds good ^^^^ :smile:

qship · 08-26-2008, 10:43 PM

Very nice. Many happy miles of motoring.:thumbup:

I nearly spat beer all over the laptop when I read how you are running it in :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: :respekt:

arrutled · 08-27-2008, 06:30 AM

love the color and the spoiler!

2QIK4U · 08-27-2008, 06:49 AM

The Dealer said "Running In" was a practice used by manufacturers whose engines had variable tolerances. Apparently this does not apply to the 135 so drive as per normal. Even the 1500K oil change is not necessary.

minibrings · 08-31-2008, 07:45 PM

G'day mate. Nice vehicle! I stopped by Adelaide Motors BMW/MINI last year and almost put money down.. glad I didn't as I ended up back in Canada. Say hi to ADL for me.. I miss Farmers Union, cheap and heaps of wine, Pie Floaters at the Railway (I know they moved) and dark chocolate Tim Tams!
