Another New Member...

[Big Pappy]

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to introduce myself as another new menber to this forum. I have been viewing posts on line for some time now and finally thought it would be a good idea to join the fun..

I have been the prowd owner of an AW 135i manual coupe for approximately 10 months now, and have to say I absolutely love the car! I am comming from a 2005 model Lotus Elise 111R and a 2007 Lotus Europa Turbo SE, and although I havent tracked the 1-er yet, its doing a great job of keeping me happy so far!

My list of mods 10 months in are...

- BMC Panel filter,
- Full ECU re-tune,
- Agency Power Intercooler
- Eibach coilovers,
- Remus Exhaust (rear section) - this I might sell soon due to full exhaust on its way... Anyone interested?

The car is curently making around 240-250 rear wheel KW's

Anway, I am in Melbourne, feel free to drop me a line!

Welcome to the forum Big Pappy! Hope you enjoy your time here.

Now there are some unwritten rules you should be aware of around here, but I'll fill you in on the most important one: forum members from the Sunshine State are always right. And I mean always.

[Big Pappy]

ha ha ha... thanks TBestW, ill keep that in mind!

[TBestW]

I can already see that you'll fit in very well here.

Hey, I am having trouble with adding my car pic to my profile. it says file upload error... I have made sure the pic is less that 64k, and it sees to have loaded within my public profile view, but not on my post view... any ideas?

[TBestW]

I just tried uploading an avatar and got the error message as well. Sorry, no IT expertise here; I can't even use an iPhone properly!

[angusclark]

Welcome

What do you want for the Remus exhaust, any ideas on costs to have it fitted?

[Big Pappy]

ha ha.. thanks anyway TBestW.

Hi angusclark, the remus was installed by the dealer and it cost around $1300 new, it is still in as new condition and sounds very nice. The only reason I would sell it is because I am chasing the extra HP with a full system. If I got $450 for it I would be happy I think?

Welcome to the forum Big Pappy, the image you are trying to upload may be too big. I think the max size for this forum is 100px x 100px for avatars.

[Big Pappy]

Thanks Orlin, Im still having issues with getting the file small enough.. oh well ill figutre it out!

In the meantime I thought id post some images of my new baby... enjoy!

PS: apologies for the poor camera quality (taken from my phone)

I suppose I ought to add my grumbled welcome to the chorus as well.

I have a similiar problem to you, but sort of in reverse. I'm having difficulty adding my profile to my car! Bit fat, methinks! (Me, not car).

Should have bought a vert mate, jump in from the top

[Orlin]

looks very similar to my brothers n55, but you have red leather...which I prefer hot looking car mate. Can tell thats a remus exhaust just by looking at the tips lol.

[Big Pappy]

Thanks for your welcome guys!

PS: I have to agree with TimMC`s comment with regards to 86`s Avatar, best looking hood ornament ive seen!
