Dave Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Tom, just get the door cards from any 1.6ES mate (well, the ES's with black interiors!) They all come exactly like your front ones, and no bit for window winders (whats one of them things anyway!?). Ive got all black door cards in ruby to go with the full leather Absolutely loving the new seats mate, and looks like they were always meant to be there! Looks stunning!

Dave Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 only 3k at 60mph! I hate you, I want! Mate, my standard box is 3k rpm at 60mph? Problem is, almost all other cars are 70mph at 3k rpm, so makes the mb6/mc2's a bit high reving for motorways. On saying that, Dawns deck (1.6) is exactly the same......3k at 60mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(never like to go past 3k on a morning until she's warm, and used to get cars sat behind me).. not much difference to standard, but better than the s80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 so since getting the gearbox done, if I'm accelerating hard and turning (like pulling onto a roundabout) I've started having a big drift / oversteer changing from 1st to 2nd!!! it's a bit nuts think i need to stiffen the shocks at the rear a touch...

Dave Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I might be wrong, but will stiffening the backs compared to the fronts not induce more oversteer (someone correct me if i'm wrong please!!! lol )? check your tyre pressures on the back first mate, could just be that.

Dave Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I bags a passenger run in your deck at the next meet! Looking forward to seeing the differences the box mods have made. Bet it feels slick tho with it all being rebuilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
