JRSC Milano Premier CTR - 314BHP/210LBFT - Oulton Park March 2013
Well had this a few weeks now, and so far only got a couple of decent pictures of it.. :o
Needed a more practical car that wasnt getting 15mpg, and decent insurance (£400 cheaper than the MR2!)
55 Plate Milano Red Premier Edition CTR
30K FHSH
Recaros as standard aswell as Red carpets
After a full day clay bar/machine polish etc
Plans:
Fast road car with the odd trackday

Lol did update this the other day but somehow my post has vanished... :/
Car now paid off, not bad, less than 2 months pay back 5 grand!
After many hours researching Toda exhausts I've decided they're not worthwhile the £950 price tag as they rattle alot on tick over and maybe too quiet. Spoons are too noisey and again silly money. So decided to spend the money elsewhere, booked in @ ABP Motorsport for this Friday for:
ABP/Eibach 30mm lowering springs
Eibach Camber Bolts
Eibach Rear Camber Arms
FRSU (Fast Road Set-Up)
Also swapped the tyres around so the Potenza and Nankang NS2 are now up front, miles better than the Marshals as they'd spin all through 3rd in the wet...! Even the MR2 could never manage that lol.
Calipers also painted red. Just ordered some wind deflectors so they should be fitted at the end of the week too. Last pics of her in standard form:
PS its not pink I just need to invest in a decent camera that doesnt mind sunshine!
C&C?
Thanks for reading,
Dan

Lol cheers fella, they are pretty sweet, good MPG and is nippy through the bends when VTEC comes into play.
Cleaned it earlier today. Was lowered by ABP on Friday with the FRSU, still understeers when hitting high camber but massive improvement over stock. Slight oversteer at higher speeds which feels weird in a FWD hatchback! I'm sure its lower than 30/35mm though... :/
Two pictures especially for James (my mothers car)

Thanks,
Dan
