Welcome, some good photos you've got there. There's a trackday I'm doing at cadwell, but it's probably short notice if you wanted to do it, being on Monday. But you've done the nurburgring, I'm doing the mini nurburgring. What's it like going round the nurburgring?

I agree, it was annoying enough having 2 exits knowing one was not necessary, a fake would drive me insane. It would be a unused hole or blanked off on my car. I like the idea of my car being simple and purposeful, more about getting the job done than being a show stopper. I go with the "its a...

I've got a track day at cadwell on Monday, I'll let you know what their decibel meter reads, remind me though as I will probably forget. But as I've said mine is louder than it would normally be as the front silencer is missing so I could fit a sport cat, and I have a toyosport manifold though...

Thats a matter of opinion

It made it a lot noisier but I also fitted a sport cat as the oreca system uses a decat pipe with a very small front silencer, the big improvement was after the remap, but that would be the case with any, akraprovic even will not give you much if anything until it's been remapped.

Thats a better photo to show, the sunlight makes it easier to see

The car following you on the road might notice if they're interested but other than that the redundant hole in the diffuser isn't particularly noticeable

Its only noticeable from a distance.

Oreca is what I fitted for that reason, though if you go for that one be sure to get good exhaust clamps that clamp around the pipe as the ones that come with it are crap. Mikalor I think the good ones are called.

Its easy mate, though a lot easier with 2 people, I did it on my own and it gave me awful back ache for several days. After fitting them I took my car to rs tuning, who plugged their computer in and told the car to only look for two seat airbags opposed to the 4 that the original front seats...

The gains with throttle bodies are with setups with a body per cylinder, as this reduces the gap between the body and the cylinder, thus improving throttle response. Whilst still maintaining and/or improving air speed. The enlarged original throttle bodies you can get mean slower air speed which...

Nice, just paint the wheels black and I'll be going faint, with red that's my joint favourite colour. Looks the muts nuts. Just keep it happy, and it'll keep you happy.

With a quick shift the internals have to do the same job in a smaller amount of time, that means more strain and they aren't durable to begin with. Think of it like braking, stopping from 60mph as fast as possible will wear the discs pads faster than taking twice that distance would.

Well Mine did 19mpg on a trackday at cadwell park. I averaged about 26 when we went round Yorkshire a few weeks ago. Normally I average about 27-28, about 30-31 on the motorway and I'm rarely dawdling behind the wheel.

I would just top it up myself.

I would only ever use shell v power. There's no point in just using v power for just the map though, as it will be mapped to take advantage of good quality petrol. Regular rubbish won't be very good in comparison (it wants mapping on the fuel its going to be using, the better the fuel the more...

No, but I've mostly made functional mods which improve the car. Plus recaros, and one or two small things. This quick shift would improve a race car but not a road car. I do about 15000 miles a year, it would knacker the box up in no time.

The pros don't outweigh the cons. This isn't btcc

Unless it was for a competition car I wouldn't bother. No matter how good it is, the concept itself puts increased strain on the box internals. You'll find yourself thinking about how fast to change gear instead of just changing gear. Thus you'll not be changing any faster. I wouldn't even...

197s with the cup splitter look just right, it takes a lot more to get a 200 to look just right in my opinion. It's like fitting carbs to an old golf gti, strange in my opinion.
