  1. Not exactly hard to produce are they! I spoke to the local MOT Tester today and asked his opinion on the decat pipes and he said no way. Instant fail....oh well He also said all V6 engines are a problem on emissions anyway, not heard that before?
  2. Nice one Adrian Looking forward to the upgrades, but still keep looking at these other cars.... Must resist :0
  3. We do go to the Nurburgring regularly now and noticed the brake fade under heavy use last year with this car so tried the road race pads and they improved but not by much, so I thought with the extra power from the SC kit things wouldn't improve so decided to go for the PB 8 and 6 pot kits I first spotted on eBay and the write up looked excellent so went for it. I hope they arrive in time for this years trip in mid April along with the race logic bit of kit It will be pushing things to get the SC kit on before the trip so will arrange that for when I get back Fancy a run to the ring Nic?
  4. It's just a shame these dealers get hold of these cars and add their extortionate rates to them whilst offering peanuts for your px
  5. The extra money needed for px will be better spent on goodies for mine anyway
  6. I just liked the look of the car but pictures don't always show what you need to see
  7. Never thought to try we buy any car Nic, but don't they pester you after you ask for a quote?
  8. I think most of these dealers try it on but I couldn't be bothered with the haggling and its a long way to go to find out its a shed
  9. I looked at changing my 2009 GT pack immaculate 24,000 mile 370 for a GT edition ( just cos I fancy the GT edition) in Newcastle upon Tyne and rang the dealers today, one year newer than mine £20,000 all but a fiver, "certainly sir we will take your car in px and are pleased to offer you £12000 pounds as long as you put 12 months mot on it" I politely asked him if he was wearing his mask and bid him good day..... I think I will keep mine thank you
  10. As they say "go big or go home". In for a penny in for a pound ( or a few pounds) or a lot of pounds!!!! Ooooeer
  11. And stopping that boosted power!! I've just spent a packet on 8 and 6 pot brake calipers and discs, race logic traction control module to help get the power down. It's going to be a busy few weeks when everything turns up along with the SC kit!!
  12. Hi Nic /Adrian My only concern is MOT time, surely someone must make a cat without the substrate in there? i.e. a dummy cat which looks the part but is straight through?

Possibly, specially if you wrap them Not an easy job to fit, easiest way would be engine out job. I like a challenge.. That could be a winter job along with coil overs
  14. I'm going for the upgaded pulley and only adding the MAF's to improve reliability so as not to work them too hard Would rather be safe than sorry as I'm planning a few trips to the Nurburgring and Spa this year
