nearly proud new owner
« on: November 23, 2011, 04:57:43 PM »
Hi Im Nick,
went into Research in Nuneaton on sunday to look at a white esseesse,but someone had swapped a camper van for it...you know who you are....anyways, really nice guy called Ian,let us (wife and I) loose in a mad green and black one. Liked it so much I ordered a new red one with esseesse koni kit.Might even be ready for this weekend. Was going to get a monza fitted but not sure about paying £800 for a mild steel pipe? Thinking of an Akropovik instead.Anyone got any thoughts on those??Really looking forward to having some fun on the road......Thanks.

Akroprovik is very expensive. Have a look at BTB in the commercial section, particularly this thread.  :thumb:

I am so sorry i took your White Abarth 500 Esseesse but i have to say it is lovvveeeelllyyyyy.....  :thumb: I hope you liked my Motorhome i chopped in, You could have bought that, That MH had 175bhp and 406nm Torque but did weight 3ton so was not very fast lmao... Glad you ordered a car with the SS kit you wont regret it, The monza is a no brainer i love it & Wife aint keen hahaha... I was playing in Debhenams car park today it sounded awesome...

Enjoy your new car and give me a nudge if your local when you get it we can cause trouble somewhere.... :thumb:

Hi, welcome.

Those of us who love the Monza, love the Monza, and it does make a unique sound, so your choice. Plenty of other custom choice's tho. A few of us who were at Goodwood heard the Akro and weren't over impressed :whistle:

Thanks for that Joe, new nothing about BTB before,looked at the link and think thats the one for me.I really like the fact that they are a performance specialist and of course they are British.

Hi and welcome

There is loads of choices out there for exhaust's I have a full system by Novitec if you speak to Daron @ TMC Motorsport he stocks plenty of choices and he has fitted just about all of them he was a great help when I couldn't make up my mind :thumb:

Welcome to the site, wheels look good but i would defo change the caliper colour  ;) As for the Akrapovic system, i have one so i would say its good, but its up to you at the end of the day, I love mine and it sounds superb, its a work of art and too nice to be hidden under the car.

Thanks for all the good advice about exhausts,think its going to be from BTB,mainly cause they are a brittish company and a quality product..they also have a good rep for performance pipes.The mad green wheels by the way were on the car we demoed from Research Abarth in Nuneaton.Mine will be a Red car with anthracite esseesse wheels.I prefer a more understated look..
