Congrats dude have fun with your new car

manson · 3rd March 2006, 19:07

congrats for your new car mclaren . . . this is getting so monotenous now guys, every third-fourth car on the forum is a baleno.

why not change the rubber right away considering you'll pay hardly anything compnared to what you would pay after running the car for a couple if thousand kms?

hey...congrats..good to hear you got a new one..sorry the other plan did not work out...well all the best with the car and psycho too

haha just kidding...one word of advice for the track day..DO NOT GO WITH STOCK SUSPENSION....else have a blast..drive safe

v1p3r · 4th March 2006, 02:02

Yes, please get better suspension for track! And different tyres! I just went for a drive in the year's first rain (hooray!) and my car is sliding about like a drunk monkey on ice. It locks up from 40 kmph and drifts like a Japanese anime video...

Congrats on getting ur new car. Drive safe n enjoy!!

Dunno if u should be thankin ur old car for making way for the Baleno or be sad that its totalled

mclaren1885 · 4th March 2006, 14:33

Ok , the thing is im not racing on the track .. I know track suspension and better tyres will always help me better on track .. But the point being , i can work on the suspension and tyres by then but by going on track i will only be destrying the thread wear on these tyres .. And more over now that i aint doing any engine mods (until i come back from track day) i dont think i can run the car in with 15'' ..

So id still prefer to run on track with the stock suspension and tyres ..

DCEite · 4th March 2006, 14:58

Hey Dude congrats on your purchase..

Baleno is a good car with amazing performance and good Mileage..

And yeah, SUZUKI rules!

veyron1 · 4th March 2006, 20:53

congrats on your new set of wheels, mclaren...a very sound decision indeed to go in for a new car...good luck tinkering....

p.s- i'm extremely amused, bemused and dumbfounded at the idea of r****g the car straight out of the showroom...i've never seen a civilian do it...only the motorsport guys...kudos...

Rehaan · 5th March 2006, 01:44

Hey mclarren,

Congrats on the car!
Since you plan to take it to the highway & track, (even after doin 2000km) just watch out for "green" brake fade. It happens with new pads.
Google it and drive safe.
