The Bounty Bar Kid

So so far here is my cost analysis... Total spent £41,750 to buy car, £6,150 on other bits listed in this post but not everything, yet. Total spend £47,900 Yes @StutopiaI could have bought a GTS by now, but I can't seem to find one that I liked. This way I get what I want with the fun of customising. I can get the GTS power and some with some engine mods. I definitely picked a great base to start with. MPG with my 350z HR was 19.89 (average over 4 years of ownership) with Carla currently at 32.09 but I have been taking it easy ATM. That's using figures from my app not the car itself, so 100% accurate.

Rear lights have been installed 😍... Before After

Well I'm sad to see the Queen pass away. She was the best of the Royal Family.

Ah okay. 👍🏽

Oh, you've already slipped it into your basket and bought it etc. Thought you meant it was on your list to get 🤣

@Stutopia Found this video of the ducktail spoiler on a black S And still not sold on it. 11.45 to see what it looks like installed.

Some more purchases... For my spare alloys + tyres I've also ordered a powerflex jack puck. Lastly car is booked in for next week Wednesday morning to get Android auto done at Sextons London. They do the NVautomotive one which I'd rather over the other versions.

I don't know... Maybe something to do once I see it in real life. Or maybe I need to do some hunting of my own for pictures that give me a better idea of what it looks like.

Had a look at the side vents and not for me. Stick out a bit too much. Would look good with the gt4 rear wing IMO. I like the ducktail idea, would like to see what it looks like painted to really see if it floats my boat.

Gave her her 1st bath. Just a quick 3 hour one (Spent 50mins on the alloys) No polish or wax

Next week Monday, although will probably have to be rearranged due to the Queen passing away 😢 and that day now being a public holiday, having the rear windows and windscreen tinted. I'm also waiting on Sextons London to get back to me as to when they can fit the Android auto mod to my existing pcm system.

Morning peeps, Expensive weekend. Yesterday I had a Blackvue DR900X-2CH Plus 4K Inc Neo 8+ Battery Pack installed. I also ordered the following... Front luggage liner Rear GTS lights Porsche Guards Red seat belts 19"Boxster S alloys with Michelin PA4 tyres 19mm impact socket sleeved to help protect alloys and nuts Loads of new cleaning stuff (cloths, snow foam shampoo, snow foam blaster, alloy cleaner, wheel brushes)

I'm busy 😭

Welcome dude, this is a great forum with really friendly people

Yep, need to wait for the brakes to bed in then I can properly have some fun. It's funny how the last time I drove my 350z was back in 2016. Since then I had been driving a 1.4 Peugeot 206, a 1.8 MX-5 nb, a 1.6 Nissan Qashqai, then a 1.2 Renault Clio 8v. But getting back into something this powerful has felt natural. It's so effortless.

Private plate added, much better 🤤

It does remind me of the Lego batmobile 🤣

So she's more than I expected, even from my limited drive. Handles and sounds better than a 350z by far, obviously. Even the Bose sound system is miles above the 350z one. Just need to wait for the brake squeaking to go once they've bedded in. Dashcam gets installed next week Saturday and already has tracker installed, just need to activate & pay for subscription with Vodafone.

Today's s the day, can't wait to pick her up 😍🍆🥳

I wouldn't be able to get the exhaust for a year or two, so lots of time to see how I find it 🙂

I can't answer that. I probably won't. But it depends on how much I love the standard sports exhaust. I could get the armytrix one, that's only £3,500.

Do you mean these ones? https://www.design911shop.com/Porsche-981-Dark-tinted-tail-lights-98104490000/prod132660/ These are the rear lights I was talking about that I'm going to get.

Bit late, already picked and paid for the car.

So a little update and Carla is ready to be picked up. They've completed a service on her, and replaced the front discs and pads. They've also done the usual valet on her. I'll be picking her up on Friday ❤️, leaving early from work. At the same time, my shopping list has expanded. So far I've got this on my list... Front luggage compartment liner Guards red seatbelts GAP insurance New number plates made with my personalised registration, same on that I had on the 350z Blackvue 900x plus 2ch dash cam hardwired with cellink neo 8+ battery pack Concaver CVR1 Winter alloys in matt graphite and Michelin pilot alpin 5 tyres Window tints - rear (dark), rear side (mid-dark) and front side (light) Akropovic or Armytrix exhaust I should be able to get all of these items bar the exhaust in the next couple of months 🥰

Just joined and added you 🙂
