Jason Posted March 30, 2010 Report Posted March 30, 2010 So I finally got my dream car a 1987 AW11 and I love it :P Always wanted one. Exterior is immaculate, interior its very good with only the hand brake showing its age. Plans: BEAMS 3sge (yeah right), more like a regular gen 3 3sge with some cams ect Stiffer springs and shocks down the line once I got a handle on the MR layout New set of wheels Get rid of unsightly wooden steering wheel Quote
altezzaclub Posted March 30, 2010 Report Posted March 30, 2010 Nice- quite different in the handling? I had a Lotus Europe 40years ago and although the grip was stunning the polar moment was quite different to RWD and it was disconcerting to slide. Something to get used to.. Quote
Jason Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) Have no idea at the moment, ill be taking it to the skid pan for a bit of familiarization :P lets see how many times I can spin out... Edited March 31, 2010 by Jason Quote
7shades Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 Always had a soft spot for the AW11 but could never justify the need for one. Should see if Mrs Shades is bored with her E21 yet and get one 'for her' :P Quote
Trev Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) more like a regular gen 3 3sge with some cams ect Buy an SW20 :P Nice- quite different in the handling? I had a Lotus Europe 40years ago and although the grip was stunning the polar moment was quite different to RWD and it was disconcerting to slide. Something to get used to.. I used to give the S/C AW11 I had for work purposes a bit of a hiding and I could never get the ass to hang out, Not like most people say. Edited March 31, 2010 by Trev Quote
Jason Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) I would if I wanted a car that looks like a cockroach and is heavier than an elephant :P Shades just tell her its more practical it has 2 boots ha Edited March 31, 2010 by Jason Quote
