Hi!

I'm John, from London in England (originally Manchester!)

I've picked up my second gen 6 this week and I forgot just how goddam good these cars are!

Here's some pics -







Hope you like it.

It's an SR, unsure if these were ever released in the States? (I see there's a lot of American owners on here:)) It's basically an ST but with slightly lower suspension, 16" Momo alloys and a mesh front grill.

The car feels solid, approximately 80k miles on the clock, little to no squeeks in the cabin and the road noise is surprisingly low!

Future plans are to drop in a Beams red/black top, and upgrade everything else in the process (4 pots etc!)

Let me know what you think!

Also, I've posted a slight problem in the suspension section if anyone cares to have a look and help out smile.gif

John

tidy example, you have there.

If your thinking of swapping to a BEAMS, will have to be a redtop. The blacktop wont fit due to due to a couple of reasons (one of them being its a RWD setup)

Also worth reading into what you have to change with an engine mount (same story for those people who have gone from a 7A-FE to 3S-GTE)

Definitely check out the 'suspension sticky' has great info, if your thinking of swapping to 4pot brakes (ST205 GT-Four 4pots?)
