Certainly sounded nice and loud today. Good Dyno results too.

Cheers! Yeah it was quite loud lol, yeah figures were good too happy with those but its never enough

Cheers bud! I'll upload a vid from today's Dyno day too

I want to see that again too! Instead of pointing the camera at the car, you should have pointed it at the PP guy, cause his face was priceless when the pops n bangs started!

When I was there yesterday @Aidanr97 was like, i'll rev it a little bit for you, dont want to annoy the neighbours... as soon as it started up I knew it would probably be annoying the neighbours... then he gave it a good rev... the cracks and pops really sealed the "annoyed neighbours" potential of the car...

I used to have a V-Twin motorbike with race cans on that set off car alarms as I went past... im guessing @Aidanr97 car has a similar effect...

You can be one off my neighbours lol it only does the black smoke on boost and I can’t do more than 5 mph on my street as it’s so short and bumpy lol

Thankfully it was at half 3 in the afternoon so hopefully most were still at work or something lol, allthough I do finish work at around 2-3am on Friday and Saturday, I just coast it down my street and I felt really bad before setting off to manchester for the Dyno day.... Cold start at 5:30am on a Sunday

Boot lock played up last night, got home went to get the stuff out of the boot and it wouldn't close, made a weird noise when opening it too. Ordered a new latch by looking on here it seems it is that which is at fault. Took all the boot trim off and tie wrapped the boot down for now so it's secure.

£19.99 and next day delivery thanks to prime

I did a guide for this exact issue I think... Check the guides section... It has a weird hex screw

Yeah I may of stumbled across it. Tomorrow's job hopefully as it's not even been dispatched as of yet

 

[Aidanr97]

All fixed, super easy job and only cost me 18.99 from amazon!

So the day finally came... I gave in and had a silencer put on the car! Loud was an understatement (Those who heard it at the dyno day can agree) but not only was it loud, unless you were really giving it the beans it didn't sound all that great. Anyway the silencer has completely transformed how the car sounds. It has a really nice tone to it now, doesn't drone like the straight pipe did and I can hear the intake again now (Ramair oversize) and I'm super happy with it! Video's to follow shortly

Also got a red ikon motorsport DV to intake hose to fit on christmas as I convinced the other half to get me one (anytime someone asks her what she bought me for christmas her answer is "a red pipe")

And also continuing with the red theme I got the red coil pack harness cover but need to modify it before it will fit.

Got round to fitting the iKON Motorsport DV return hose today. Easy job but be warned I couldn't get the old spring clips on so opted for some jubilee clips instead. Much better just got to adapt the red coil harness cover to fit next

 

[Aidanr97]

I adapted and fitted the red coil pack cover with a Dremel and taped up some wires to hopefully stop rubbing

And also got a private plate so had some shortened 4d plates made up, looks awesome but unfortunately took the paint with it on the rear diffuser

Can't see it to well luckily but can when it's dry

Clutch ordered as mine has started slipping under load in 4th 5th and 6th!

 

[Aidanr97]

Had clutch fitted yesterday, the pedal is alot heavier now but I'll quickly get used to it I think as I was starting to last night after a quick drive. The bite point is pretty much just off the floor and it's super grabby lol. Like it though and hopefully will handle anything I ever throw at it

I've got a Vauxhall Mokka hire car for work at the mo. I jumped in mine to move it forward a couple of feet last night and having driven a "normal" clutch for a week, I nearly put it through the wall. I think you just get used to it over time. Maybe it's got a little bit lighter. Mines good for 430lbs and Niki reckoned it could have held more easily.
