Ian Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Part 1 is Herefor those that have never seen it I first bought this car in 2006 and I sold it in 2011. Just 3 weeks ago I contacted Roscopervis who bought it from me to see if he wanted to sell it back to me. Thankfully he agreed and I picked her up 2 weekends ago It was still very low mileage (only 61K) and still had the DC Sports manifolds that i fitted, and has since had Berk HFC and an Invidia Gemini exhaust fitted - Both of these are soon to be for sale The body work needs a little bit of attention, the bonnet has started corroding aswell so I'll get a HR bonnet soon for that Parked up with my DC5 Only done a few little mods so far Fitted a new Pioneer headunit Fitted my lucky HKS AFK (I've had this in every car since I owned this car first time round) although I still need to buy another sensor for the second channel Fitted some smoked indicators I also treated myself to a new manifold back exhaust system comprising of Tomei Expreme Titanium decats Tomei Expreme Titanium Y-pipe and ofcourse, the Tomei Expreme Titanium exhaust Should be here by the end of the month Got a few plans over winter to get the body work sorted 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 :cloud9: This exhaust really is a work of art and from the whole system weighs just 11KG (Cats, Y-pipe and exhaust) Setup my ramps and it was time to work unfortunatley the majority of bolts on the Invidia exhaust that was on there had rusted and I ended up having to cut them off which was time consuming It took me a good 10 or so hours to do the whole lot but for the most part I was working by myself For anyone who had the (mis)pleasure of hearing my last single setup and knows the ridculousness of it have heard nothing yet. This thing is ridiculously loud, too loud. Its pretty obnoxious I may end up putting the cats back in a few weeks depending on how I get on with it. Ill get some videos of the mentalness before then though I also bought a blue hose kit to replace all hoses in the engine as a winter project 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 That exhaust looks great Ian and if it's as loud as you say then I may even be able to hear it from my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 Im surprised youve not heard it I think half of Caerphilly can hear me. I dropped the Mrs off in town today outside the bank and I had to go back around town to get out and she could hear me my entire way around town I managed to get a little idle video when I got back this afternoon, no revving videos yet - my neighbours hate me enough as it is I put the bung in and will try driving it with that in tomorrow but its not much quieter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I bet that's seriously loud on full throttle going from that first video. Don't put the bung in though you wimp, ...you knew it would be loud before you bought it I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't put the bung in though you wimp, ...you knew it would be loud before you bought it I'm sure. I've not been full throttle yet, anything above 3000 revs and my ears start to bleed I knew it would be loud but I underestimated just how loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 So do you think it would pass the 100dB static check at Combe? Would be interesting to see though just how loud it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Videos really dont do this justice Also managed to pick up a bargain set of brand new Nismo floor mats Need to order a Koyo radiator soon, maybe some Defi's and a few small interior pieces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Yep sounds loud through the rubbish laptop speakers I've got so I'm guessing in person it's on another level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
