    Thanks pav, it's quite loud. But not over the top. Inside the cabin with the updated engine mounts it sounds like a race car. Haha.

    Fitted my ITG intake. Sounds very nice, not to loud but gives a nice roar. Very noticeable difference in pick up low down the revs. Overall happy with this mod. Mpg isn't affected either which has shocked me. May upload a video of the noise. In other news, I had the rear strut brace re...

    200: New Academy Position... Motorway MPG?

    Hi mate, if your looking for better MPG thought about shedding a little unnessesary weight. E.g back seats, empty the boot and glove box. Make sure those tyre pressure are always correct and set for motorway driving. Also check your panel filter and TB are clean as this can help MPG very slightly.

    Little update. Cleaned the throttle body today. It looked pretty filthy. All cleaned up and metal polished. Car feels a little less urgent when I went for a drive but thinking maybe the ECU needs to adjust now it's cleaner or maybe its because I disconnected the battery and TB. Throttle...
