Get a G60 lightened flywheel and VR6 setup first, really nice cult h setup for stage 2 cars ;)

Quick vid on the launch control, no vids of me launching though, its abit naughty haha



Quick vid of exhaust from outside:



only done on phones mind.Standard airbox is back in too, big dirty cone is doing the car no good with the amount of air its sucking in now. Need a thermal inlet gasket and a meaty cold air feed. Enjoying not hearing the spooling so much and dumping back in the inlet so think im gonna run the standard airbox with a better panel filter tbh!

enjoying stage two then.
how come the big cone is doing the car no good?
sounds pretty good from the video.
if you want a good idea how your exhaust sounds you should open the rear windows thats what i do when i feel the need to hear it.
also how is the launch control setup for you to activate it is there a swicth of some sort?

The air it was sucking in was just too much too hot sorta thing up top end and the ecu was backing the car off. Spoke to another couple of lads last night one was stage 2 p torque and his is fine with a halfords filter. Got a newsouth gasket in the post and panel filter in the post then should be spot on :) liking the car been quieter!

Rear windows don't open on mine. They did on the fr though, weird!

The launch control is a feature in the ecu as standard and just needs activating. It works by recognising that you are stood still and sets the limiter to 4k rpm then as soon as you go over 5mph (I think, could be less) it removes the limiter and allows you to rev round as normal. Tried it a couple of times and you get a massive bang and off you go!

You cant have enough air coming in, Scott. More air = more fuel requested = more power made.....

Plenty of air, just too hot :( like it miles better with the standard air box on, just feels more refined and gf likes it a tad more haha it's on in that video above

Same post from other thread but just so it's documented:

Goddamn! Such an easy job! Abit fiddly like but dead easy. I undid all the bolts that hold the mani to the head like last time then set about looking at what what stopping it coming away, so unit all the bolts holding the air pump on and undid the plastic pipe that goes from this to the cylinder you take off and blank when removing the sai and still it didn't budge. I then saw this bolt:

Completely missed this the other night :/ once undone the mani came away fine, swapped the gasket over and all back together,
took me about half an hour! I'll blame not seeing it the other night on the fact it was 10pm and light wasn't the best haha

Cheers lads for replying!

Also got this in now with standard airbox instead of the cone:
