Jordan's Crono Yellow MK4 Reference Sport [Rub Strips back on 03.06.12]

[Lambro6]

The only time I've spun mine (Pirelli P6000's) was when I pulled out of a junction with the handbrake on! Looked like a right tit in broad daylight! Haha

Weird how it spins every time though? I'm assuming this is only in the wet, right?

 

[Jordanwaterhous]

Haha it's not every time, but if i give it a bit of welly to get out of a junction quickly it will just spin.

It's not even as if it just slips then grips, it spins on the spot until i disengage the clutch and try again!

And yeah its when its wet/greasy, which is all the time because of salt and grit on the road and temperatures.

Looking good mate

Do you not have traction control to stop this?

Mine spins up all the time in 1st 2nd and 3rd if I turn it off, but this is due to the remap haha If I leave traction control on, it just flashes at me and cuts the power going to it.

Does it bollocks have traction control! Dont be so silly! Doesn't need it, not got enough power to spin the wheels (usually) hahah

Oh right! Haha I just assumed it was a standard feature on all the models You obviously need a model with more power mate

Nope!

And you're telling me!!

 

[Jordanwaterhous]

Nothing new to report! What i think is top mount is squeeking still, tyres arent slipping much, still drinking fuel like it's 22p a litre!

Desperately wants a service which should improve the economy!

My good ol' 15's will be going back on this weekend too i suspect if the weather forecast is correct! Which means i'll be able to give my wheels a good scrub up and get them polished, sealed and waxed!

mine will light the front tires up through 1st and 2nd if im rough with it. that was reverse to 1st and rip the handbrake up though and ive only done it the once though to prove a point to the mrs. the point being "yes! it will do a burnout" lol

Hahah! Bet she was impressed!

Got these bad boys out tonight!

I must have cleaned them up before i took them off because they were pretty clean!

Can you tell which one has been on the front?

I got my Iron X out and gave them another good clean with a coat of SRP, EGP and a coat of wax on them in preparation for the cold/snow and therefore salt we have forecast for this week!

Got a bit carried away with myself and started cleaning the arches as i was changing the wheels. Also greased up the adjusters too because they were pretty minging

No after shot but they're nice and clean now!

and here's how the Flying Banana is looking right now!

Wheels are SO narrow! Even with my 20mm spacers at the back they are completely in the arches!

Oh well gives me chance to properly tart up my O.Z's

 

[Jordanwaterhous]

Just been out and put all the interior back in! All except the big rear seats, couldn't be bothered but everything else is back in, looking forward to driving in quietness!

 

[wrayvon]

Ahh quietness. How come you put it back in ? Saying that, i wouldnt have taken it out, its not a track car

 

[Jordanwaterhous]

For that very reason! I just looked at it last night and thought, 'why have i done that, it is not a quick car and never will be'

So i chucked it all back in!

It does make a little difference but doesn't make it quick so!

My car looks so daft on these wheels, they're diddy!

 

[wrayvon]

Hahaha fair enough ! Get a pic up then so we can have a giggle mate and one with good wheels to compare

 

[smithy84]

how do you think mine looks then on 185 60 14s lol they make it look like a right nail and i refuse to have the trims on as it makes it look like i cant afford alloys and theyre gay and make it look worse at least yours are 15" alloys.... and as yes she was impressed by the burnout... especially when the smoke was coming through the vents in the dash lol she didnt think her car was capable of it after seeing someone else do one earlier that night so i stood up for the car and showed her whats what

 

[wrayvon]

Hahaha thats brilliant! Never known it to come through vents before

 

[Lambro6]

Definitely have to try this tomorrow

Smoke through the vents? Sure you weren't just imagining it

 

[smithy84]
