Sat at traffic lights a while back in my McLaren 650S, Golf comes the other way revving its poor tappets off, popping banging etc as the map no doubt intended, sounded horrific. 20s later a police car came past and gave me a 'calm down' hand motion. Was aghast he thought that crap noise could be...

Can I get bacon & sausage in mine? Thanks :D

Snap!! Proper tear jerker that episode and left me really depressed immediately afterwards. Hopefully Ep 5 will kickoff with a far more positive outlook on things.

Noticed Lando didn't use the Podium for his celebration when it's his P1 trophy sat there :D

Toys have departed the pram 100% :D

Appreciate that - may have to reach out to bend your ear a little more about the meth setup in that case :) I know my setup is just a single nozzle & I've been told by previous owner it uses it a fair bit in High boost or when antilag is switched on, uses it a tiny bit in low boost at WOT. I...

Definitely intend to sort that out :D The old turbo made some amazing turbo sounds hoping the new one will too lol. To date the only videos I have of it have my friend giggling her head off though them :D I've dealt with TurboTechnics multiple times over the years and I'd go as far as to say...

So I think some of you will have seen me post this elsewhere as a snapshot etc but its turned into a little more of a project than I expected so throwing up a thread on it incase it's of interest plus generally good to have one to look back on :) Was fortunate to actually win this car from...

Loved the show, for some reason first few episodes had multiple adverts (first time watching anything on prime since they brought in adverts and they were infuriating, really broke the immersion of being in the world - I almost cancelled my prime membership in the 2nd or 3rd episode) but then...

Started putting together the new turbo kit for the Evo I then decided I wanted to rotate the clamps to hide the bolt portion, as I did the last V Band clamp I wasn't really paying attention and overtightened it and it snapped. Now waiting on a replacement before I can get this fitted to the...

I'm fairly sure it's genuine, maybe with it being Birmingham postcodes etc has unique challenges on insurance but it's very bizarre. Wonder if the RR part of the dealership has the same challenges My service is the 10 year one so big one and it's £1550, Thorney were coming in at £1530 iirc -...

Thanks :) I don't know if maybe I had argued more they would have budged but to be honest it was what I'd term insult pricing (I look after Pricing for retailers, its definitely a thing lol...) After test driving an Artura previously I also asked if I could borrow an Artura while my 650S was in...

Their servicing seems reasonable on the whole but some stuff is just crazy as they charge hours labour as units for single jobs sadly. My 650S is going in to McLaren Birmingham on 2nd April & they wanted £240 from me to check the balancing of the wheels while it was in for a service, told them...

Honestly it’s your car so do whatever makes you most happy, personally though I think it looks much better on the stock wheels. That said I’ve not seen one anytime recently that I can recall so novelty still there for me perhaps vs you getting used to what you’ve had for x amount of time. Same...

Don't think that solution would work but have seen some which potentially would anyway :) My bay; and dropped back on the floor for a (successful) test run out :)

Sorry yeah missed that key part out in my reply! First I’d heard of heat shields for them to be honest might have to look into that one :-)

Turbo Technics hybrid S205B, same as what was on it previously but bearings decided to bear no more haha. Engine is a built rg motorsport 2.0 4G63 running 550bhp on high boost setting :D Was tempted to go Precision turbos 5858 / 6262 or similar but bit overkill and couldn’t justify the cost...

It was a little haha! Was genuinely surprised by it to be fair, really revved out well too. Would love to drive one for a day or two on roads I know well; my 650s goes in for service next month & I might see if they’ll drop me an Artura demo while it’s in to get a better view of it.

Suns out nice motors out :D Had a fun run out to C&M last weekend, got sent lots of decent photos from my outing there :)

Had a drive of an Artura yesterday, pleasantly surprised by it I must admit! Definitely goes well and still sounds good :D
