    Thank you so much for doing this James… in the sometimes heartbreaking world of used performance cars, you make me proud to be a petrolhead 🙏😊 not all hero’s wear capes… some wear jazzy shirts 😅… whoever buys this is getting the best pound for pound Aston in the country.

    The ceramic ingestion issue is real. My 2015 Rapide S had a weird misfire issue a year ago, upon changing all spark plugs, injectors and coil packs (at my request, not my workshop's suggestion) the misfire is still there. Then upon watching one of Bamford Rose's videos, we found the issue. I was very lucky the ceramic bits got stuck at the valves and not in between the cylinders. Upon taking it out and properly cleaning it up, i had the primary cats deleted. The car no longer sounded as good as it was, it is considerably louder, but at least the car now runs perfect and revs livelier. I got the car at the same time as an Audi RS6, and thr Audi actually cost me more in terms or maintenance over the past 4 years. The Aston never really give issues. Love it.

    I am watching this from the United States.
    I live in Chicago and over the last couple of weeks the city has been suffering through a polar vortex with record-breaking cold interspersed with snow storms.
    My commute takes me along Lake Shore Drive and passes some of the most affluent areas in the city.
    Imagine my surprise when I saw an Aston almost identical to yours covered with salt and road grime chugging along at 15 mph behind the snow plow!

    So interestingly enough I too have a 2009 sport pack car with dynamics dampers. I was also contemplating the bilstein switch. I added 1inch of foam to the driver's seat and it made such a world of a difference that I have no interest in changing the shocks and springs now.

    Hi James, I’ve owned my 2006 Vantage V8 since 2009. Now heavily modified and full GT4 spec. It’s unbelievable, sounds glorious and goes and handles brilliantly. I’ve upgraded the interior to carbon fibre backed bucket seats and exterior cf diffuses, splitter and more. It’s been totally reliable. Any expenditure beyond routine servicing is only reducing my funeral costs as I’m going to be buried in it 😂😂😂

    A chrashy suspension is often down to high initial internal friction in the dampers. You can compare this to the initial resistance felt when opening a one-grip water faucet. Bilstein and Öhlins excel in beeing among the best brands in addressing this issue.

    It seems as though that Bamford Rose really know what they are doing. Seems like a great car...
    18 months ago when changing cars i did albeit briefly consider a used DB11 which it around 90k was in the ball park of the car i did go for - a Genesis Electrified G80, which is clearly very far removed from a AM, but it looked particularly fetching in red with black roof. However the running costs impracticality and level of technology were just too much of a consideration, but ive always had a soft spot for an Aston, and your video rekindled that interest. Although i remain very pleased with the Genesis, and after twenty years of various Jaguar's and Maserati, it remains the best car ive owned!

    Very nice! I have to say I'm a big fan of Bilstein dampers. B2's for great quality OE replacements, B4's if you want something a bit stiffer. I put B6's on my Focus ST170 because I wanted the inverted struts which really reduce the flex you get at the front, now the steering is super precise regardless of load, it just shrugs off mid corner bumps now. B8's are the same but are designed for lowering springs.

Did Mike at BR diagnose and fix that?

You look at a lot of cars, but it all seem to rotate around Aston Martin, and why shouldn't it, it is style, it is glamour, it is roar, it is sophisticated engineering and reliable mechanics (bar sport shift). I will never sell my V8 Vantage but I know I will have a DB11 as well, I find it stunning and at half the price of at DB12, a bargain! So what, infotainment, you are not driving a DB11 to listen to music, the music is produced under the hood. It is the follow up bargain to the V8 Vantage, mark my words.

    Talking about the manifolds primary cat deletes , does this not affect the emissions come MOT time?

    • @JayEmmOnCars
      @JayEmmOnCars  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This is why you have to compensate with uprated secondary cats. As it is, Aston fitted the car with more cats than it needed to pass UK emissions - so it will do okay with a partial decat if done correctly

    Is it twice as good as a 5.0 XKR that costs half the money though? And the Jag doesn't have these big bills lying in wait.

    Great example of the money and effort needed to keep these dinosaur cars in tip-top condition for future generations to appreciate and admire. The cost of ownership has become so high that they are no longer practical daily drivers, unless your pockets are very deep. Sensible move on your part to move it on.

    An Aston is a far more discreet and understated choice than something vulgar like a Ferrari.

    Whilst your video production values JayEmm point to your prior filmmaking career, the inclusion of (thankfully minimalist) drone footage does not. Drone inserts have their place but to lessen the visual shock, please ask the operator to reduce that notorious (DJI?) default sharpening.

    I had a Sports Pack, the suspension was the biggest pile of shyte I had ever driven on, it made me wonder whether Aston actually employed chassis engineers?
