Car got its first run out in a couple of months. Much improved ride and handling on the 18s though the ride height is a tad low which will be rectified shortly. Really enjoyed the run to Dundalk for cars and coffee and a bit of a blast on the way home for good measure just to hear that v8 on song!

Finally got round to giving the car a deeper clean including clay bar, light machine polish, and finished in fusso soft 99. Paintwork has a lot more to give but all in due course!
Also meet Cooper my little helper...

Saw you earlier driving through Lurgan, looks so good on the 18s! And perfect height imo.

Rod bearings and engine mounts now done. Pretty good condition in my opinion which is good to see and shows the car has been cared for. Went for ACL bearings and oem bolts. Work carries out by Colm Hyland and wonderful service as always.

Car is now just shy of 60k miles and I love it!

Just turned 60k miles following a decent 140 mile blast at the weekend with a mate and called into the Jacob’s Supercars on the way round. Was quite amusing how bogging his m2 got lol.

Mate took a few photos towards the end of our run that I quite liked...

Looks fantastic. How does the M2 compare ? I’ve always liked the idea of getting either.

I haven’t driven the m2 tbh but seem to keep up with each other and being the n55 engine it sounds pretty nice.

Lurgan-Dromore racetrack got a touch then ;)

Good way to finish the run lol

Lovely car but why those wheels? Do nothing for it IMO
Personally I like them and the chunkier tyre. Car drives really well on them too but I’m sure the comps will make their way back on in due course when I want to change it up.

Had a bit of an itch the throw the comps back on for a while and when I saw @Ben pass me the other day I had to copy him 🤣

I love the look of both sets of wheels for different reasons and make for a nice combo to switch between and change the look of the car
