Almost 3k in the 6 months I’ve had it.

I love the thing, keep thinking of selling both cars and going Boxster but I don’t think I can bring myself to sell the M, something says I’ll regret it.

Don’t do it John. The Normandy trip taught me so much more about mine and I couldn’t let it go now! :driving: :thumbsup:

I think there’s untapped potential in it Paul, it’s too stiff and I’m itching to change spring rates to soften the rear. I’ve been talking to Exdos, his thinking is right on my wavelength, his set up sounds perfect. I think it would be a missed opportunity to sell it without exploring the chassis, something tells me it ‘could’ make it far too good to let go of.

Changed the suspension on mine last year to the cheaper Bilstein/Eibach fixed rate setup, after much prompting by ExDOS, totally transformed the car, it's how it should have come out of the factory really.

I've got total confidence in the car now and can fling it round corners like my (much missed) supercharged MX5

I think we need to set a new thread up, it’s hi-jacking this one. Apologies Rally.

Yeah really enjoying it. I've just done changes incrementally and have all the mods I listed on the other thread ready to go. I keep considering Porsche but I'm kind of moving away from the mentality of spending near the limits of my car budget. There's so many great cars like the Z4M which are relatively affordable but no less fun in the real world compared to 70-80k cars.

Having just turned 30 I'm now looking to put more money into investments and hopefully go to work because I want to rather than because I have to. More important things in life than cars after all.
