Yeah made it louder higher up the revs, sounds good though, not much rasp but has started to pop & burble now.. I would imagine yours would sound insane with the Feel's! Get it ordered with the xmas offer on at the mo

Little update;
M Factory Helical LSD now here with bearings and plugs.

Can't wait to get it fitted!

[dannyhall]

Hoping for the RPF1's to arrive around 11th January...

In the meantime first trackday of 2012 booked, Oulton Park 2nd March. Gives me two months to have the following done;

Maxsport RB5 tyres fitted to OEM wheels
M Factory LSD fitted
Exedy Stage One clutch kit
Clockwise Motion Flywheel
DIY in-car camera mount - already built just awaiting for an attachment

Bored the other night so took some pictures using my new tripod;








Comments? Anyone used the Maxsport tyres before?

Thanks,
Dan

Maxsports should be fine mate!

What compound and size are you going for?

[nathanpar]

Awesome to get that reading without a Rbc dude, Will be interesting to see what you end up with when you purchase one. "if" Very tidy car!!!

Cheers fella!

Going for 215/45/17 in a Medium compound, unless a softer compound is recommended?

I know mate was very chuffed to say the least. I may purchase one come MOT time and when I need a sports cat..

Thanks mate

What cat are you running on the mani atm? I'm guessing emissions are way to high otherwise.

Decat fella, sports cat come next MOT time... Would imagine the numbers to be lower when I get a cat in there

...nice Milano Pink

[dannyhall]

^ Haha! I think you should come over to take some pics of mine then. Im no photoshop king, point & shoot is the way forward

Quick pic of the trackday mount, sturdy enough and seems a good view. Will try it out at Oulton (yes a crap picture but its windy out there!)

That should work really well, how have you secured the bar? :cooldude:

Two holes drilled either side, headrest slots straight through it keeps it sturdy. Simple solution stolen off the forum!

Sounds sturdy enough! I need to find a way of stopping wind noise on my go pro!

Dont film from outside the car? Get a harness bar and mount it on there?

That would stop it yes

I may well have a cage to mount it on shortly

Haha!

Well that would be ideal then, with a full interior there isnt many options to film from inside the car, especially now suction mounts are banned

Decided to make a test video using the incar mount yesterday. The vid has come out abit quiet and a strange rattling noise (possibly the strap knocking the camera itself?)

Camera could do with being a fraction lower, but TBH think it will be alright...?

Comments welcome as always

Thanks for looking,
Dan

I really rate the piper header, been running one for a few years now :bigthumb:

[dannyhall]

^ Piper make good exhausts, always a good fitment too [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

Took a trip down to Area Motorsport the other day to collect a set of Enkei RPF1's. Also had my AD08s fitted.











Think the standards are going back on tomorrow, paranoid of curbing them in this icey weather!

Comments?

The design of them makes them look quite small.

How wide did you go?

[Jameshop]

Looks amazing, always loved those enkeis/ and tyre combo
