a few months ago i purchased a HKS HI-Power 509 cat back exhaust which sounds great in Vtec with a nice burble at low revs or just motorway cruising just need to get the mid box taken out now for a little bit extra noise and hope fully some pops and bangs :twisted:

Me and my new rocket launcher Exhaust
Image

Box as big as my mum literaly
Image

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image


Exhaust bung -- yeah that will never be used

Image
Image

i Brought a ITG Maxogen of a member on here pretty easy to fit and can feel a bit off a difference from the stock air box and its really looks the part, im buying a red induction hose of a member on here soon which will make it look even better


Image
Image
Image
Image
Image


the most recent thing iv done is had my OEM wheels refurbed and a slight change in colour, Ignore how dirty the car is, iv not cleaned it in a week or two as its been off the road while iv had the wheels done and a few other things to do, will give it a proper detail over the weekend and get some proper pictures of it


Image
Image
Image
Image

this is when they went back on

Image


Future plans are to lower it becasue the wheels really show off how high it is now, and a new inlet mani and mani/sports cat then a Kpro,tempted by HIDs but dont know if i can be botherd to change them for MOTs every year, then a FRSU and that should about do me for a while just some little exterior mods to make it look that bit better, maybe some pre- facelift rear lights then red towing eye and strap,




finaly had time to clean it and heres a few pictures off my effort

I think pre-facelift rear lights would look good as they're all red so would go with the wheels better :thumbup:
