I love and hate my TT

Think I must be having a male PMT day today or something as I am peed off and annoyed by everything. I spent 2 hours with my very helpful brother today fitting my HKS Carbon Ti exhaust and whilst I think it looks very nice I am very disappointed by the sound. It actually seems quieter than my old one (probably due to the fact that my old one had spat out all of its inners).

 

Any way all I have thought about for the last 4 hours is the fact that I have spent a load of money on a new clutch, fly wheel and exhaust and I am actually less happy with the car. I am not really liking the clutch that much (RPS Street 6 puck), the flywheel makes the car sound like a bag of crap and my exhaust is quieter and no where near as nice as my brother Cable's, Buddy Club exhaust. I think the main disappointment is the fly wheel as it makes me try and drive a different way just so I don't hear it as much and this is made more awkward by the clutch. Also I had in my mind that the HKS Ti was going to sound like thunder on the horizon but it just doesn't.

 

I really hope I wake up in a better mood tomorrow and love my car again. I am even hacked off with the basketball game that my team just won. We hammered the opposition and im still unhappy.

 

Guess im turning into a grumpy old git :)

 

Im going bed I think.

Have a lemsip and a wank! You'll be fine tomorrow...:D

 

H.

 

Great advice mate, I feel loads better now :)

Well I do feel a bit happier today and the flywheel didn't bother me as i put my stereo on on so loud that I couldn't hear it anymore :)

 

give me your clutch and flywheel, ill stop the hating

 

Thats what I like about this forum, there is always someone willing to help ;)

 

I have the same exhaust (decatted and small single) but I love the way it's quite quiet at tickover and low revs. It makes plenty of noise at high revs without droning. Great exhaust IMO

 

I know what you mean Jake with regards to not droning, I guess I was just looking forward to a different sound. Hay ho

 

 

Looking forward to seeing the tash Stef :)

 

Slightly less grumpy Hanky

I am at a loss to know why you bought that clutch? have you secretly gone big single?

I think a cenerforce dual friction that drives like stock and holds 500 to 600 bhp would have been the better option.

Now you can really feel peeved off lol

 

Don't apply for the Samaritans will you! :blink:

After reading various posts it seemed like the logical choice for a BPU TT. The Street Max seemed like over kill but this was just about right.

 

Oh well, I will just have to live with it for now.

 

Thanks for the positive words though :)

why.., Mr Ambassador, with these Ferrero Rocher you are really spoiling us ;)

 

LMAO. There is a craze / challenge going at work with moustache's. We're not quite sure what exactly but there are quite a few people who now aspiring to have a Tom Selleck like tash :)

 

Oh and thanks for your kind words Nick and Ed (not really Ed) :)
