Hello Team! :xwavey:
My Name is James, I'm from Fareham (South Coast UK), and I have recently purchased a Artice Blue DC5.
Some of you may already know me, or atleast my car, from the car scene already. I was the first guy to bag a R57 in the UK (and potentially europe). The MINI had a good few show seasons but I soon got bored of air ride, audio, and scene points and made the switch to buy a Teg.
Here are two shots of the MINI! :
So yeah I purchased the Teg around 2 weeks back now so of you may already know it as I believe its had a few previous owners. I can only imagine the Teg was modified to a high standard by an owner then gradually unloved as its been passed around. My aim is to change that though and give her the love she needs. She is my daily (70 motorway miles a day), and I'm looking to make her my own to personalise the already nice spec. Eventually I'll boost her but my mortage deposit is my first priority.
Heres the Teg on the day of purchase (with the misses it was our 2 year anni) :xking:
Gave it a clean up and posed at a nice spot:
Then on day 2 or 3 this happened!! the bloody bumper comes off as I'm driving :xangry: :xangry:
Also VTEC stopped working with the EML light on.
Since all this I have had the idle control valve adjusted and the VTEC is back :xvtec:
The car is booked in for spray work including more then just the rear bumper on Sept 12th to try fix other areas which need work :xrockout:
Other then this I still love the car I have a print out of 242.7bhp and I'm loving all these new ponies compared to the heavy audio and air ride filled mini!! I hope to make some new friends and get some ideas to make the Teg my own. I'm currently looking at the Skunk2 Megapower RR exhaust hoping the silencer is enough to kill the drone but am in limbo..
