J5's Roomster Scout - **SOLD**

[NZ100]

Sadly no, I'll be with j0hn in his Octavia.

The vRoomster is still a pile of bits and swear words at UNIT18.

I probably won't get it back until next Friday.

Shame that Barrie, that's my passenger lap down the pan. Is it right the track time finishes at 1.30pm ?

I think that is the taster session at lunchtime. Full track day finishes at circa 1730hrs IIRC.

[Jonny5ive]

Thanks Clive, nope, no waiting just shot it as was.

Only just seen this post, sorry.

Short shifter wise, nope, I've not looked that hard. Certainly for mine it needs to fit a 5speed box, I don't know what's in the newer roomsters??

[Jonny5ive]

Looking great Barrie

Thanks Charlie

After fitting some Chinese LED fog light bulbs that turned out to be made of cheese, I bought some MTEC 'Japanese racing Golden Edition' bulbs on recommendation from Clive (NZ100) and set about removing the Lamin-x from the front fogs.

Spot the difference

Just read this thread - very cool roomy you have there

 

I just wanted to ask...

 

The coilovers - once fitted and sitting lower did you have much of the Geo corrected? I guess camber will be an issue?

 

Have you noticed uneven tyre wear?

 

Also what would you describe the ride like, is it harsh? I want to lower our roomy but as its used to ferry the children I don't want them throwing up  :peek:

[Jonny5ive]

Thank you.

It's about an 70mm drop I reckon. I don't think I've had the geo checked.

Not noticed any uneven wear on the tyres TBH.

Yes the ride is stiff, but thats how I like 'em my kids are fine with it

[Jonny5ive]

So...... lots of time, patience, problems, swearing, mileage, expense, etc. etc. I'm now firmly a member of the 200 club again.

I would like to take a moment to thank Alistair and his team at UNIT18 who have been consummate professionals throughout the journey.

Now I just need to collect it and enjoy the drive home

[Wardy]

Excellent news!  :clap:

[Dark_Hero]

Fantastic

Fantastic

A long journey, but got there in the end.

Currently sat on the train like an excited child en route to pick it up

Looking forward to your next post, Barrie
