Wow.
The car sounds absolutely freaking fantastic. Propper screamer.
Also the car seems to handle OR you seem to handle the car very nicely. Looks very balanced.


Job well done.

Son of a gun! :D

Only been able to watch the first 30 seconds of the vid, but she sounded amazing! 8) I'll watch it all tomorrow with headphones ;-)

Cage + semi slicks = much grip ;)

Both I hope :D

My iPhone was mucking about and switching itself off so I had to rely on my camcorder instead so no in-picture video. Here is a quick vid from inside the car. I like to see what the driver is up to so you can see how much input is needed to control the car. If you like the sound of VTEC and like seeing a rev counter jumping about all over the place this wee snip is for you :lol: Plus my shift light flashing away 8-)

Many thanks.

The car is in at Stainless Creations today to get a custom 3" exhaust made. It looks like Stainless Creations are going to be one of my sponsors as well 8-) Fingers crossed I don't need a retune after it. I am hopeful it wont as I have been running the car with a more restrictive exhaust than what it was originally tuned for but I will get it looked over when on the dyno this week.

Ooh! Missed a few updates!!!

Wicked progress bud. That cage looks epic. I didn't realise you were getting a 3" system. 8-)
Got some pics of the finished system? Also how many silencers are you having installed. Is there any noise limits on the tracks you're gonna be competing on?

:D
