My current back box box is loud, not silly loud, but does drone at 70mph. I was hoping the miltek being a quiet system would counteract the decat pipe. Tbf. If I don't like it I will just change it. My thoughts are to get a eisenmann race a bit further down the line, or any other exhaust that pops up second hand that's a bargain. Can always sell them again! I think I want the higher pictched whale, as apose to the more tvr v8 rumble I have now!

Listen to this on good speakers, particularly the last 5 seconds http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=_GXg-xYjTX0

Yes, indeed. I won't say fully accountable but definitely partially responsible for the full de cat exhaust and the performance steering wheel. Also mailed that bloke you mentioned about carbon dipping the interior trim, but had no response yet.

Today's update. Took the car off to get coilovers fitted by a friend. Whilst there I threw on my steering wheel and changed the centre armrest to the black one ( rather tricky if I do say so myself). Coilovers weren't going well when I left. Front was proving to be hard to get off and when got to rears mate rung me and said he thought parts were missing. Several calls to bc coilovers and indeed they were so to their credit posted immediately, but will cause me a delay in suspension department, and as such no exhaust transfer today either!
Need the car back for tomorrow due to the wrap, so will have to go back early next week. So half a stance! Tidied the garage via the kitchen into one of the spare bedrooms. Lucky the wife wasn't about! This also arrived, Yes, really, please don't bend. Opened up and pleased with the carbon from teddy at ssdd. Did a good deal as a package. Carbon won't be fitted till post wrap.

Ha. Nice 'blind' spot!
Depends on the term 'completed', are they ever? Don't think it will be finished for Christmas but should have the main look nailed. It will be the details post Christmas and the 20" bbs and big brake kit feb/ march I think.

Nice one Nick, looking forward to the results, the carbon looks great. Like the hasty work whilst the wife is absent.

Carbon bits look beautiful; very much looking forward to seeing the wrap completed!

Most of this week has been getting interior sorted. Performance wheel is know in and feels great. The coilovers got started but due to bits missing from the kit the rears were unable to be fitted. Having said that, I drove with just the fronts fitted and was super impressed. With the dampners set to middle it has an almost oem feel to it. It's just about an inch lower at the front now. Bc are sending the parts so the rears will hopefully go on when its back from the wrap and then the 'stancing' can begin. Speaking of wraps. Swung in earlier this morning and most of the prep done and the bonnet wrapped. Really pleased with colour, Early days but excited about the colour and pleased with the choice.

That is going to look THE TITS.
I'd be very encouraged by how good that bonnet is looking.

If you didnt tell anyone they would think it had been sprayed. this car will be one of a kind. and btw i had my reservations about the seats at first but seeing them through the window im rather keen on them. You going to put the pics up of interior/exterior when its done? primary cat delete is going ahead next saturday pal.
