SPG Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Yeah, it would be something like that or a Boost Logic I think. The RSR I had on my NA-TT 5 speed sounded great, with this Blitz exhaust lacking quite a bit. Steven - yeah get that uploaded The clutch bedding in is going nicely. It feels great so far. Nice and quiet compared to the previous HKS GD Twin that was in before as well. No complaints on that front. However I seem to have another little issue at the moment - when I go WOT the car just completely drops off (as if I am not on the throttle at all). My first suspicion is the throttle position sensor, though I may be wrong. I don't know whether it'd be easier just to change the intake and throttle setup entirely or just find another sensor for now. I've been cleaning the CCWs up with Autosol and the results are great. They'll stay in great shape if I do this more frequently. It isn't too bad to keep them clean, I just haven't stayed on top of it at all. https://scontent-cdg2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtp1/v/t1.0-9/p180x540/10422133_545745742393_2777140090531706151_n.jpg?oh=75745cb9d5cad6b3df4882c9e4c96923&oe=5632D2BF https://scontent-cdg2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/p180x540/11406861_545745762353_3388683710528808259_n.jpg?oh=f1bf8a4d059a66504e46df3bc4c47850&oe=55F4EACD I ordered the Mothers Powerball, Powerball Mini and Powercone so that should aid in cleaning up the other 3, as that first one took a little while (particularly between the spokes). Nicely done on the wheels James, are you still bedding in the new clutch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Whifbitz 4" single box gets my vote James, Ive got one on mine now, its a beast of a thing will sound insane behind that T88 of yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Nicely done on the wheels James, are you still bedding in the new clutch? Yep, I'm very happy with how they've come up. I just need to do it more often (as in, a couple of times a year ) and they'll stay shiny! I've done 650 miles on the clutch now (mostly sensible ) and it feels good now. Whifbitz 4" single box gets my vote James, Ive got one on mine now, its a beast of a thing will sound insane behind that T88 of yours Yeah, that's what I'm edging towards Marc! I noticed LeeP saying about the HKS Racing Ti, but I may still just go for the Whifbitz 4" Ti anyway! As for this throttle issue I was encountering, I did a reset on the ETCS-i system and it has appeared to have fixed it (for now at least). Hopefully it stays that way!

James Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Couple of updates this weekend FINALBOSS MMXV was on at Driftland, so I popped down to that. Car was faultless on the journey there and back, breaking just over the 1000 mile mark since the clutch change now. All good on that front https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/11698634_10155825529725533_2562681774813399728_n.jpg?oh=1d7b53346af162b8062508ad8c8046d1&oe=562657E0 I also bought a chromed TRD strut tower brace, so fitted that (did a test fit previously to see that it cleared the T88 ): https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtf1/v/t1.0-9/11692626_546066858873_2937237003776869003_n.jpg?oh=bd34133a8b08ed4785a94b98b7aa4ab6&oe=55E6A2E6 https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xta1/v/t1.0-9/11665563_546066838913_6548166728481911105_n.jpg?oh=c3fde6fd7ad3581f0ad4d2f746f8908e&oe=56260BA0 The CCWs came up pretty good: https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/11202869_546066883823_6900022768368525229_n.jpg?oh=fa7a625da35ef7d22cc75aa79fd7d175&oe=562B3B90 https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/11217583_546066908773_5115281722512163651_n.jpg?oh=8015ec8a723594764a4070a6755392e5&oe=56264EDE I also ordered myself a Whifbitz 4" Titanium exhaust https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/11667519_546038909883_2021324552029426986_n.jpg?oh=d1b9e07467129e85b43edfa6fabd10d8&oe=55E94EE4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeiretto Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 It's not really illegal, but the cops will pull you over and ask you to remove it on the spot, because spoilers like that are protruding objects.. They're afraid we'll kill cyclists with it or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 So I fitted my new Whifbitz 4" Titanium exhaust last night - it sounds fantastic Certainly a slight bit () louder than the Blitz was... I find that it is a little short though. It may be just be due to being straight cut whereas the Blitz was slash cut at the end. Due to that I don't think my rear bumper paintwork is going to last very long I'll probably need to pick up a carbon surround for it. I'll get a little clip up soon!

drift_bear Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 James, I had the same problem with my blitz on the gtr, I bought a spacer for the exhaust and it fitted perfect and took the exhaust out 25mm iirc. I'll get you a link if you want, just drop me a whatsapp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 That bumper will take a kicking bud if you don't extend or get the surround on mate. Didn't realise it was so short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 A little video from SpeedFest: I'm ignoring the fact that the little bike powered buggy thing absolutely caned me (and that I slid a bit too much at bend at the top... ), but rather I'm enjoying the sound from the 4" Ti and screamer haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Some light preparation for the Scottish Car Show (Sunday 19th) begins today/tomorrow. I don't have a machine polisher, so it'll take a little longer than I'd first hoped. Clay bar, glaze and wax is at the ready though. Hopefully it ends up ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 You'll polish a car far quicker by hand than you would by machine anyway. Machining to be done correctly, breaking down the polish, refining etc takes time per panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
