Yea thanks ash, cant fecking wait tbh This system is from manifold back, and cost £250 cash. I think he said the manifolds can cost from £350-£400. But it will be custom to the car and your requirements . Best bit about the system now is its quieter than before

Hi guys

So met @W1ggz at Coombe Yesterday. Had an amazing and EPIC day thrashing the jobby out of the lude with Dan and my mate Thierry in his Vti Civic. Got out 4 or 5 times I think, Each for around 20-25 mins, apart from the last session, Chasing a VXR and the Alternator failed on me . Any way, I got home fine on just the battery in the end. But will be buying a new one this time

The car felt good tbh. No where near as fast as Dans, but at least I now know where It needs improvement I had to keep an eye on tyre pressures as the front rose 8-9psi after the first session But then they settled after adjustment. Brakes where great. Could not get the Hawk HP+ pads to fade or feel crap. They just kept braking hard no matter how much jobby I gave them

You will all agree that the amount of lean and squat that I have is excessive, where as Dans was cornering much faster and almost flat. So I have to get some decent suspension on and better tyres. Brakes just need braided lines and better fluid for now. I will also be making or buying a brake master cylinder stopper to help, as well as fitting the LSD gearbox I have now

Noise testing went well with the new exhaust system. 89db instead of 98db Sounded great and pulls hard all the way to the rev limit. Was even told it was spitting flames near the end of the day Epic

A massive thanks to @W1ggz and Thierry for the day. Also massive well done to those guys too. I had an amazing day, and I cannot wait till the next one now. So just a load of pics for now. Uploading videos as we speak so will post them up shortly

Cheers


We first seen this at Mc'd's car park in the morning








































Has to be my favourite pic from the day

[W1ggz]

Nice 1 Chris I'll hopefully be uploading my pics and videos tonight as well,
Your engine must be running pretty well as I wasn't really gaining on you much on the straight just the corners, although I can't believe how long my 4th gear is lol

[Thebusofwoe]

Yea as you say, it was pulling well. Just the corner speed I just cannot get 4th gear is long, but still able to get 5th up straight, just about

[Thebusofwoe]

Finally, got a vid uploaded. Was the last session of the day when the alternator gave up. Lines messy due to me going all out to see what the limits of braking and grip was had amazing fun As you can see, Dan was way faster than me. But I now know where improvements are needed

[si import]

Looks and sounds like your car goes well mate

[Thebusofwoe]

Thanks chap. Dan (W1ggz) seems to think that it is not much slower than his in a straight line!! It defo feels fast but I just cant get good corner speed

[W1ggz]

Yeah she was going well up the straight I was only slightly pulling on you, as you say it's deffo the corners that improvements can be made

[Drax]

[Thebusofwoe]
