@@liambowers666 Hi. On the "X years ownership" videos I take the point but to a new viewer they will want to know everything I have done to the car at that time as they may not of seen the previous video. However, I have to take exception on the assertion of covering the same subject matter repeatedly. I have done over 50 video's on my McLaren. Only 5 of these are summary, time of ownership video's. I've covered: custom phone mount, ceramic coating, exhaust upgrade, mapping, lowering springs, air filters, Hardwear upgrades, custom steering wheel, servicing, custom carbon parts, aftermarket batteries, aero, sound system, all individually, plus many others. How these can be viewed as the same, I'm not sure. I do this as a hobby, for fun, on a phone and in one take mostly. I do it to pay back to the community to help other enthusiasts avoid problems and make good choices. This is why I post in all the ownership groups. I'm not really bothered how much my subscription grows as I do it for fun and to help others. As far as I'm aware nobody else produces as much unbiased and independent McLaren specific modification content. I have a busy life so don't have the time to set up locations or edit things properly but I'm happy to share my experiences with anyone who wants to take advantage of the knowledge I have curated through trial and error.

@ if that’s your objective, fair enough makes total sense. As someone who’s come across a few of your videos whilst waiting for delivery of my McLaren, they’ve definitely helped pass the time and been informative, but thought I was in a state of de ja vu watching this one and found myself skipping 😉 again, if they’re set in the context you’ve described, makes total sense. Enjoy it and hopefully will see you out at an event some time!

@@frankieritenour3354 No, the ECU has no ability to detect what size tyres you are using 👍🏻

You sure? I put 245/35 305/35 r888r on my 570s and I have gotten ESC FAULTS and Limp mode. Not sure if it’s the tires due to circumference being larger or if it’s a sensor going bad “wheel speed sensor” throws p0500. After reset it’s fine. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@frankieritenour3354 your side wall is too wide

@@frankieritenour3354 the sidewall number: 35 is a proportion of the tyre width. Therefore, let's say you have a 280 width tyre with a 35 side wall and you replace it with a 300 width tyre with a 35 side wall your tyre will have a larger overall diameter. In order to maintain the diameter as you increase the width you have to decrease the side wall. Therefore, I moved from 285 width tyres with a 35 side wall to 305 with a 30 side wall 👍🏻

Makes sense. So what exact sizes are you running for front and back. I know you have a 305/30/20. What is the front?

Yes

@@alexplanky No mate, car didn't have any to begin with.

@ thanks, I need to tidy up mine as just bought a 350 to go with the Evora. Love the carbon look but can’t afford the full carbon panel upgrades you did atm

In mechanical terms they've both been perfect. The Mclarens Achilles heal is it's electronics and software. Due to the manufacturing process, the owner is the Beta tester... Has it ever stranded me? No. TBH since I dispensed with the OEM battery and associated control module, its been good as gold.

@@sl0e0pr love u too 🤣

Try making your own video and lets see how you do, rude and totally unnecessary comment

@@Justin-kl7ec Hi Justin. Not sure what you mean? If you are changing the battery you obviously have to disconnect the old one before fitting a new one. You can you use an aftermarket battery as I do but you have to get the car ECU reset into lead acid battery mode. 👍🏻

@@JayKullar If I remember correctly, yes you need to drop the diffuser to get to the clamps behind those big ole OEM tips 👍🏻

@supacarbaldy3826 thanks! What kinda prep did you do and what primer/paint? Are they holding up well? Its either this or Cerekote them.

@@JayKullar Rustoleum Hard Hat 750 deg paint. I think you'll find cerakote will fail as exhaust tips can reach 600 deg. Only prep is a light sanding. I've done 20K and touched them up once 👍🏻

Comes with hand built cars...

@@supacarbaldy3826for sure, at some stage the constant hassle takes it’s toll and you become reluctant to go back.

@@wheelsandwatches No they don't. They use a company called colourkraft in Wellingborough to do their paintwork for them.

There generally aren't any problems with the drive train and engine. But all the cars you mention above are mass production. You won't get the same build quality and reliability with a small volume car.

It may take some adjustment to be happy to deal with reliability issues when moving away from Porsche. But if you can do it, you can open yourself up to some very fun cars. Consider also the Ferrari 458, 488, F12, although, these might be over budget in your market? True exotics could be Noble and TVR. McLaren and Lotus would give you the driving pleasure you would be used to in a 911, Lotus giving you change for maintenance

@@glenmiester Unfortunately it's the same with every small volume, had built brand...

@@supacarbaldy3826 It's a shame as they're beautifully designed and sound awesome! Just don't have that Porsche reliability sadly

@@glenmiester Porsche is a mass production car... You can either have a beautiful car that has class leading performance but with issues you have to be aware of or a (in my opinion) dull car with the reliability that comes from mass production of mainstream companies...

@@supacarbaldy3826 I get what you're saying. And your 570 is a beautiful car. But not sure I agree with the mass production vs reliability comment. Besides, the Porsche GT3 I would argue isn't a mass produced car and has great reliability. And definitely not dull as you have put it. It is likely why a similar aged GT3 costs a good £50k over a Mcl 570

@@glenmiester So Ferrari, McLaren etc all the same. If Porsche design a new door they go to the VAG testing lab who bolt it into a robot jig that opens and closes it 10,000 times to make sure it works. McLaren design it, try and think of any possible issues, then build it. That's the difference 👍🏻

@@notabenex1 It's better for me in the respect that you don't have to run a Nav app for it to work and the fact that it'll just run in the background. Also you don't have to look at a screen 👍🏻

Because mines lowered it won't take spacers that wide without rubbing

Probably for basic maintenance. Service and oil change plus tyres... I have my oil changed every 6 months but that's just me. Won't cover your insurance though.

@@supacarbaldy3826 sorry yes I wasn’t very clear. I am thinking the costs below would be good. That is using a recognised indy for maintanance. I was wondering if you have had any issues that would eat up 2.5k a year for self warranty/slush fund for issues? Yearly running costs. - 1.5k for annual service - insurance - Tax - MOT - 2500 for self warranty

Hard to tell, so nothing obvious... Look cool though 😂

Maybe a little more turbo wirr. But nothing game changing

Put aside 3-4k a year

I have been researching this recently and if you get warranty it’s 5k-6k per year. - 3300 McLaren warranty or 2850 thorney warranty. - 1k to 2k per year for servicing. Slightly less if independent. - Tax is 190 on cars registered after April 1st 2017 or 680 for earlier models. - Then what ever your insurance is.

Unfortunately not, I tried to keep it but just couldn't afford to keep both. I sold it to a good friend who lives 5 minutes away though so still get to see it regularly ❤️

Do you miss the Exige?

The cats made the biggest difference in the noise department 👍🏻
