Mr.M

So how many people are delighted with their car?

Had mine since saturday, only managed 68 miles in it so far :-( due to imminent birth of first child and the fact we've got no kitchen (sodding MFI!!!!).

Definately feels and acts a lot different to my old bugeye. Can't wait to get that first 1000 miles off it and then see what it can do.

BMWhere?

Had mine since Jan 28th. 2500km so far and very pleased. Front strutt brace and quickshift fitted last week. Seems to have reduced tramlining and improved turn-in

Mr.M

The tramlining was a bit nerving this morning, not used to it as the WRX didn't do it as much.

Started to follow the lorry ruts on the motorway, felt quite strange.

BMWhere?

I found the tramlining very un-nerving! I felt the car was quicker than the RB5, but I was driving it slower 'cos I was scared

Since having the strutt brace fitted, it feels alot more comfortable and I now have the confidence to drive it quickly!

Have also been told that the tyres are also a major cause of the tramlining problem & when changed things are alot better!

I'd suggest getting 4 wheel alignment done. My STi7 tramlined with the OEM Brdgestones on and I put it down to the fact they are worn. Had the alignment done and its a different car....same tyres also.

Mr.M

Will ask dealer to check it out when it goes in for 1k service.

Was thinking about strut brace too.

Had mine since 26/1, PPP'd 10 days later, and I've now got 2k+ on the clock.

Very pleased indeed

Although I can't say I've really noticed any significant tramlining (you don't know the meaning until you've driven a P1 on country roads with worn tyres) putting on 18s has made a marked difference to the handling, improving ride/handling, and stiffening things slightly.

Final touches were made by having the geometry reset on Monday, which has fine-tuned things a bit.
