i have a similar problem, i had a custom dual flow exhaust fitted at the same time of having the Japspeed HFCs fitted and the thing is mega loud, sounds nice when i follow the car in another, but the drone you get between 2 to 3000rpm can be very unbearable on a commute especially when trying to engage in conversation. Is this likely the cats over the rest of the exhaust which is responsible for the drone noise? whats are these bungs you are referring to and what do they do exactly?

Ok so a quick comparison, Its more practical for starters, has room for adults in the back, and a nice amount of room in the boot wick any zed owner will appreciate. Side by side it is a bigger car but doesn't feel like it at all. The evo would run rings around the zed anyday on country roads, if it was a top end drag race I'd probably say a tuned said would take it. Evo seems to be very quick but also has short gearing, i have the 6 speed sst semi auto box which if you appreciate forza and a racing wheel is ace, if not then maybe you won't, i love the paddle shifters and gears are instantly selected so its more rapid. I thought the zed handled like a go kart but i could never push the zed to speeds round corners like i can in the evo. I have always found the zeds cornering very very flat as in the body doesn't roll at all, which is great and its got great center of gravity but ive already felt it lacked feedback as to when you were about to lose traction. The evo on the other hand gives you plenty of feedback and it lets you know nicely when grip is slipping and that's if you find the end of its staggering amount of grip. The amount of grip is so confidence inspiring its crazy! You can definitely tell there's a lot of trickery happening with its yaw systems to keep you where you are as it takes you beyond what you believe to be even possible. Put it this way, an idiot could drive this car fast. Overall, i am very very happy with the evo and the dreams of having aGTR are well gone. I cant ever imagine what better cornering ability would feel like as this seems to have it.....more power ofcourse but this is plenty fast enough right now, only 50hp and 33ftlbs of torque shy off a 09 GTR....

Gonna be gutted having to sell the zed as i do love it but i wanted more power and space

It certainly felt it compared to this bad boy

A little update! I went to see another evo 10 yesterday, 400/400 and that thing scared the living daylights out of me how fast you can drive along a country lane and how it just defies the laws of physics with the levels of grip.... So i naturally bought it... Here it is

Im gonna go try a different evo x and see

test driving a tvr cerbera at midday, i love my 350z i guess my only issue with it is the lack of space. can only just about fit everything in for a camping weekend for two with very strategic placement.

ive been driven in an evo 6 years ago that had 400bhp and i remember that feeling mental, but that was before i had driven cars myself and rode any fast bikes so my memory is a little vague. i also was driven in an rx7 that was around the same power, i remember that being quick but not as brutal as the evo. maybe the one i viewed is a lemon, shame as it looks a beaut.

As title suggests, test drive an evo 10 sst today mapped to 400bhp, i was really surprised how it didn't feel much quicker considering my zed has only 286bhp.... with the sst box, what i did like was that gears felt like a thing of the past, boost was constant, feeling almost as if there was no gear changes happening. But like i say i sort of expected 400bhp to feel faster..... sort of wondering how much different a zed feels with a supercharger as that is also on the cards at the moment to choose as an option rather than a different car

Har Har, i meant from a perspective that it has been tried and tested

Seriously? You reckon this cant be done diy? I was hoping someone might say heat up the plastic a little bit and form it back to shape

Albiet gently i imagine it has still left the shape of their front end creased into my rear bumper which is seriously irritating, what can you do to get this crease out? i have uploaded two images to point out the shape as it might not be that obvious.

Is there any mappers we should avoid? Do i take it the likes of abbey and hdev know what theyre doing with sc turbos

Any updates with this build?

Ok, so i took for a drive and found nothing out of the ordinary with heat any where, I have drive around with TC off and get no issues too, so something is deffo up, i will get on the blower and hope cougar store have a solution
