Alex has done a awesome job on the car would like to thank alex at aks tuning well recommended for the job. Car looks like new, the carbon scuttle finishes it off nicely I am not even a massive fan of carbon but looks nuts.
Engine mounts make the power more direct and less judder. But more vibration to the wheel. Coilovers have made a massive different the car sticks to the floor like no business. Anti lift kit and bushes make it so much better at take off. And best of all the exhaust is a monster. Everyone looks even when your driving through town. I had it in my works hanger past few days and it sounds epic inside.

Cheers mate, I'll get it sparkling then its picture time all inside is clean so far. :)
Its a sport cat mate, bcs exhaust. it only sounds powerful when pushing your foot down. and I am in a hanger there so it sounds more aggressive.

Nice car,how does the BCS compare against a milltek then apart from the obvious sound?
Id love a new full exhaust but the price of a full milltek is putting me right off,how much is the BCS if you dont mind me asking

i think its just looks mate. as its the cat that makes the difference. and I got mine second hand but I think your looking just over £1,000.

I believe these are best exhaust around at moment good build quality, a couple of people have said about millteks rusting and bracket failures and so on.
