I did one fricking ages ago! Lol.

uncle silvia · 18-04-2009, 13:16

Awesome!! I hope i get to see it at a show/event sometime this year!!!

Stavros · 20-05-2009, 21:03

Cars here now, nothing missing either, container shipping was a wise move I reckon, cheers

initial_j · 20-05-2009, 21:06

awesome man! you picked it up yet?

Stavros · 20-05-2009, 21:12

Yeah, container was dropped off at the workshop at 9am this morning

Dan Norton · 20-05-2009, 21:54

Have you had it running? Does it sound immense?

Stavros · 20-05-2009, 22:13

Yeah gave it a full fluid change and had it running, about 5 times, as the alternator is broke it seems so the battery kept going flat.

Sounds mint, not bridgeported or anything but still sounds mint.

initial_j · 20-05-2009, 22:15

you seem incredibly calm about it stav?

id of been writing in BIG LETTERS how cool it was for about ten pages by now!

Stavros · 20-05-2009, 22:31

Everyone keeps saying that! I think everyone expects me to be running around screaming with excitment.
Maybe once the alternator and gauges/intruments all work properly I will, but done 9am till 9pm working on the car so far and im filthy dirty, knackered, my wallets far lighter, and I got to do it all again tomorrow, and that part of owning a mental car isnt too exciting, lol.

The mechancials are incredibly good nick, like new, dont look like theyve done one event, never mind loads, which is nice. Also its a serious spec too, and foookin well done too

Also good that lights and indicators all work, as they sure as fuck didnt when my Chaser arrived!

235/40x17 front tyres and 265/35x18 rears incase you was wondering. 40psi in the rears. Handbrake works well going by how hugely the rears were flat spotted too, lol, replaced now thanks to Bon

Dan Norton · 21-05-2009, 22:13

We need pics!

Stavros · 21-05-2009, 22:26

I took a load earlier, but the sun was so bright i dont think they will look great, not checked em yet.
It sure as fuck looks miles cooler in the flesh than it does in any pics ive seen, esp now ive tidied up a bit of paint and stitched a few things back together with yellow cable ties.

Only really pootled around (about 30 A-B road miles and 50 motorway miles) as giving it a gentle run in for couple hundred miles, but it drives lovely, feels and looks SO small compared to my Chaser, thats a big old tank in comparison.
Has THE loudest turbo chatter ever too, fucking amazing sounding.

Diff is ridiculously noisy and clunky, which dont bother me one bit, but it is, i jus hope its meant to be that bad, and not actually fucked, lol.
Great oil pressure, drives nice, not tooooo shit on fuel to be fair, big tank for a little car though, I got about 60quid in it I think it was!

Very hard to get in n out, but seating/pedal/stick/steering position is fantastic.

I totally fucking love it though, feels jus right, looks the most amazing thing ever, and is jus badass.

Someone buy the Chaser off me now please, as I wont ever touch it again, lol

DoriDave · 21-05-2009, 22:49

I swear I would've humped it if I could've gotten any closer.............

ShilaAytee · 22-05-2009, 07:48

Look forward to see it brapping round Cheltenham soon, won't be surprised if I hear it from my house

Stavros · 22-05-2009, 14:35

Even if you didnt hear the exhaust, I reckon you'd hear the Chatter from your house if I was on Liburtus Road, its mentally loud!
