Scooter Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Got the new aerotop insured from midnight tonight so feel a little night time drive is in order. Been busy cleaning and tidying her and have only really driven it round the block since i've got it home. Looking forward to feeling the turbo surge once again, just hope the old girl hasn't got any nasty mechanical suprises for me! Been reading up on the auto box functions and will see how i get on with those and the left leg being totally redundant! feels a bit like christmas eve when i was a kid:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted May 1, 2004 Author Share Posted May 1, 2004 oxy, i'll be doing 'slow' as well. I can't seem to stop my left leg getting involved in proceedings, and the cars still a bit of an unknown quantity so taking it easy is the order of the day. Only really out for a little pootle tonight, but by all means tag along........see you there...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted May 2, 2004 Author Share Posted May 2, 2004 Well so far so good..... auto box is so smooth and initial impression is very good (novelty could wear off but no real niggles at the moment) car all seems to be fine too, bar the usual stuff like hatch rattle etc. Limited to 120 ish but has a very soft cut unlike my first NA that had a "faff me what just happened there" effect on hitting the limiter. Thanks to Oxy, for tagging along and hope your motors sorted asap...... ...........hoping for a sunny sunday to get the top off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to Oxy, for tagging along and hope your motors sorted asap...... ...........hoping for a sunny sunday to get the top off Im not sure if our NA is still limited as today I tried to take her above 120, and at around 120 it seemed like she had run out of legs, although like you say I would expect the limiter to cut things there and then, although I didnt stay at 120 for no more than a few secs as I heard some serious rubbing starting to happen, which turned out to be teh skin inside the wheel arch being pushed against the tyre, amazing how much more wind resistance you get from 100 - 120 How can I check if its been delimited.....???
