So where's the video? You can't make her sound better without letting us hear her, come now man... you need to focus.

Had some time on Saturday morning and decided to get the car up in the air to give the suspension a once over. While under the car I thought, mmm this mid box is unwanted weight and the F30 made me enjoy a loud cold start. So I asked the guys to cut it out and fit a straight pipe in preparation for a planned mod once the house stuff is sorted and settled in.

And then?
I agree, no soundclip is dreadful!

 

[Sabretooth tiger]

The sound difference is not video worthy gents. Be a patient for now and take your meds. Will do a sound clip once downpipe is done.

So we gotta use our imagination?

The Koup is now nearing 95 000km so a service is due soon at 98 000. Nothing has happened. Been settling in and doing "new" home stuff.

Its a weird relationship, just as I start thinking mmm I like it a lot I am greeted with typical front wheel drive characteristics. Cant fault the car otherwise, she does her duties brilliantly and the "whoosh" sounds make me act 9 years old.

She might stay on even when I after get back into a BMW. My daughter thinks its "cute with the wheels that look like flowers"

Looking good my bro, these are actually quite fun to drive.

I rate keep her as a daily and treat yourself to an old school M or an inline 6 when the time is right.

Any idea how the F30 is doing at its new home ? If I'm not mistaken she's with your cousin now.

I don't even have a comeback for this one😂

 

[Sabretooth tiger]

The Koup has been doing whatever I throw at her like a champ. I'm really starting to like it (finally lol).
May daughter is adamant that I should not sell it and keep it for her when she is done with her articles. I'm a very obedient dad so I probably will do just that.
I am about 200km away from hitting 100 000km and the service is now due. I'm flying to GP in 2 weeks time so will drop her off by my cousin before I leave for that to get done while I am away.
When I bought the car I knew in its life the front bumper came off and was poorly repaired. no damage indicated behind the bumper. Given what I paid for it I was ok with taking it as is (got a further amount knocked off the price to redo the bumper). I just never got around to it with the kids, work and the wedding.
Then this morning on my way to work I hit a stray dog. I'm very sad about the dog but kinda happy the bumper is gone. So can finally get it sorted.

[Quick///M]

Ah man sorry about that came here to say congratulations but saw the last post... Looking forward to seeing your ride sorted and back in full form

 

[Sabretooth tiger]

Thanks bro. She will be all sorted within the next few weeks.
Even though she is bruised she held her own very well against a c250 this morning. We were side by side on a private race track till about %00km/h and the little Koup slowly started edging pass till we ran out of runway.

Why are you traumatising Mercedes drivers 😦

Sorry about the incident bud, I am sure you will get that sorted in no time!

You'd be surprised how many people look at it an think, "ag its a kia". I get bullied a lot, so the times I do bite back its fun, even if I just about manage to keep up.
