Howsat Guys

I just wanted to say thank you for all the advice on buying a SX , I listened closely and followed all the advice.

I found a clean SX at a good price and now I am finally happy.

Flew to Johannesburg and drove it back to Cape Town , R850 petrol. Not as heavy as all the reports were. Very impressed. Amazing handling and performance.... WHAT A CAR !

Cheers .........Fellow SX Freaks

Now that ur a full member, your first initiation is to do donuts around a metro police van.

Sjoh

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Yeah , I am in Cape Town.

I want to keep the car as comfortable and amazing as it is , and unlike the ass-about-face things that I did on my previous car , I am going to specifically look for the exact changes that I want without comprising comfort and looks.

I am so impressed and happy with this car , that if I had my way, I would write a novel on this forum about all the great things that I feel and foresee for my new Baby.

Still a BMW fan , I still have my 328i , but I am now officially a SX man for life !

Ha! I'll give you a month before you wana change something on the car. first mod almost everyone does is a cone filter

Yeah , I know what is going to happen . I was allready bitching about the .6 bar boost on the way down from jo'burg.

I am looking for an intercooler with plumbing specifically for the CA18( I don't want to have to make pipes fit) and I am ordering a chip from the UK that with the boost re-set to 1 bar will push her up to 186 kw's , ( if the experts are to be believed - hope so)

I was fortunate enough to find out that Faheem ,the SX specialist, lives a quartermile away from me. How's that for coincidence.

I was fortunate enough to get the car with a cone filter and 76mm stainless exhaust system allready fitted.
