The GTR is dead! Long live the cryptolambo!
- Thread starter kindai
- Start date
Its old Pzero tyres, its why the first thing I did was order new tyres, but theyre having issue getting the N0 marked MPS4S ive ordered, were supposed to be here this week, but unlikely for another week at least now.
So plan was not to mod this... too much.
Then I remember this video.
Yea nevermind...
New exhaust hunt begins.

Fixed that for you.
I've spent most of this week in the Clio, so I have zero concern of what others think, its all how it feels for me.
**** the haters, you drive a clio!
Hi all!
So new tyres fitted today. Off to my local tyre place who I trust implicitly. As always a total respect for the car, the alloys, checking with me on jacking points (as it isnt entirely obvious on the front where they are).
Replacing with Sport 4 S tyres. Couldnt get the N0 marked so XL will have to do.
Within half a mile the driving feel is immediately better and thats with the tyres not even scrubbed in. Off to have the alignment done on Monday, and hopefully that will get the car back to feeling planted.
As an added bonus, the michelins offer loads of alloy kerbing protection, the pirellis had next to none!

Such fat tyres
I upsized the rears to 305, kept the fronts the same 235, the rolling difference is a little over stock, but I believe the AWD limit is 4%, and most owners run this setup no problems.
Dare I ask how much tyres on a Lambo cost?
Came in at just over 700 fully fitted.
Not many, i've done 280 miles since owning it and put £350 quid of fuel in.
Plus you know, I only found out today it has a 5th and 6th gear
It seems I have sold at just the right time, in the last couple of weeks the bottom end of the GTR market has been groaning, and good cars around my age and mileage are swapping sub 30k. Can see early models swapping hands mid twenties by the end of the year now.
Hey all!
Busy busy day
First off to see @ScoobyDoo69 and collect some GoPros
Next up, the gtr cartel boys wanted to have some fun, so we had a meet up and some dragy runs.
Anyone feel like the "Prey" is being eyed up
Contender! Go! Gladiator Go!
After that a trip up to ocuk to have a hoon with Gibbo
We found a tunnel...

Hey all!
So today was off to get the tracking sorted. Was slightly off but now all sorted.

And the results..
More than happy with that to be honest!

Did you enjoy your McD's?
Very much so.
Needed a clean, again, Autobrite Magifoam > Dwell 20 mins > Power wash off.
Good snow foam with a long dwell, a non asthmatic pressure washer and 0ppm filtered water
Hey all! So @ScoobyDoo69 lent me some GoPros, so have been playing with getting a good setup. Nearly there! The problem with this car is 1) Wind noise and 2) Loud. So while I have now worked out where to stick mics to avoid the wind noise, need to quieten them down slightly so at high revs it doesnt get that horrible horrible too loud for the mic distortion.
Anyway for now, start up and drive off video. Though it doesnt show me coming back to pick the camera up and stick it in the car

Actually yes I have! Great reading, and fills me with a lot of confidence that if anything were to break it would be pretty easy to get fixed at less than insane money.
