Had my FFRR for5 months now few issues , air bag suspension , wiper connection and heated seat First two fixed , last one still an issue. Changed to winter Pirelli snow and ice , two drop links , two services , all fluids changed , diffs , gearbox , power steering and brake , led bulbs for cornering and side lights , night breakers and Cree 50w ( on order ) for fogs turbo hoses changed for silicone but only 4 big ones done Suspension exhaust ( vent ) needs replacing at next service.
Love the car ( Archibald ) and regret not getting an RR earlier. Love the off road aspect and on road it's sublime. I've had metcs, jeeps , Imprezas , cossies , etc and this is the first car I choose over my R1 I do about 1000 kilometres a week and enjoy every minute. My kids love it to bits and I can't see myself buying anything else
In the next few weeks , I'm getting the front seats , etc re dyed as they are not the cleanest. I'm also getting it mapped soon and the egrs mapped out I'm big on maintenance and change filters and oil every 10k kilometres
For me , black with the tinted windows and original 20s is the way to go. The ivory interior looks awesome and is a bitch to keep clean.
I just hit 190k kms and I'll have it as my car ( then one of the kids ) for two more years and then 2012 4.4 TDV8
Thanks to the posters in here who have saved myself and my mechanic a fortune in time and money with the pearls of wisdom. 2015 4.4 AB
GSXR 1000 K5
