Im getting excited just seeing all this, all these parts arriving and being fitted

you need to do a video of the exhaust sound now and then after you've fitted the downpipe
Certainly did bud, 6000k
Can't wait to try them tomorrow ahh right ok thanks for that ill have to give them a try

Hahaa im excited too! It's going to sound ridiculous with the decat because its very loud as it is. I have a feeling I may need ear plugs while driving
I'll be sure to get a vid up once its done

Such a good ride Benji! This makes me want to trade in my 07 FR for a 12 LCR! Although will wait for the 2014 LCR...
I've booked a wheel refurb & paint for next week on my 17s, but looking at this I really want to up to 18/19". Next stage for me is Remap, Twintake, Coilovers & wheels.

Thanks man
Plans sound good it should come together nicely!Oh yes it makes it sound different... you need ear plugs
Performance will be improved by a downpipe as they are less restrictive and help the turbo spool quicker! Cat-back is noise only.
Update: Full review of stage 2 to follow.
Managed to get a video of the sound now I had the decat fitted.
Damn it is loud, too loud for my liking really but my god it sounds mean. The DSG pops and bangs are unreal, its like a gun shot on gear changes.
You can hear it on the vid a little but it sounds much better in real life. I was also changing quite early at 5k, at higher revs the dsg pops even louder. I could'nt stretch the legs as there were speed humps every 50m so I could only get it up to second gear
You can also see the 6000k HIDs too, they are superb.

I haven't updated in a while, there hasn't been much done to it that you can see with your eyes. If you didn't catch my APR stage 2 thread, then I can confirm that the car is now ballistic in every gear. It shoves you in the seat on acceleration! 3rd gear is just unreal.
The map has now highlighted issues in the handling department so I am looking for ways to tighten everything up to handle the extra power.
Here are a few pics of the HIDS
Anyway I was off work today so I decided to whip the wheels off to give them a good going over ahead of my big detail at the weekend.
The car has been crying out for it ever since Silverstone F1 where I was parked in a mud bath!
It doesn't look too bad there but once I had got off after being towed out, it was 10 times worse!
While I was there I cleaned the arches and gave the brakes a freshen up too.
Dirty wheel
Cleaned
3 layers of Blackfire Wet Diamond ( Brilliant stuff)
Clean arches
Painted disks and hub
Fresh calipers
Finished.
Tip: When you paint the disks make sure you go onto the disk ( like I have) , it might look bad now but once the brakes are pressed it removes the excess paint straight away, leading to a perfect edge all round
Oh and added a cheeky sticker
I won't keep it on long because I don't like stickered up cars, but it's just a bit of a laugh for the time being
Just need to do the bodywork now at the weekend

They are the terminator HID kit from hids direct mate
Anyway de-wipered and gave it a good detail yesterday, I loveee the smooth bum
It's a shame the wheels got dusty on the way there but remember the roughly painted disks... Well.....
I've just done the hubs on the back of mine to get rid of the surface rust..I was being extra careful as I didn't know it would come off so easy! I take it you used hammerite??
Yeah it comes off easy, make sure its dry though haha! Hammerite is fine on calipers but it can't stand the heat on brake disks. I used some high temperature paint from eBay , it seems very good so far and I have give them a lot of abuse !
High temp paint from eBay mate , Hammerstein can't stand up to high heat. Yeah painted the guards too gloss black, it makes a world of difference with rust free brakes !
