love the car already..is incredible and so so fast..
future mods will probably include a spoiler to try and keep its arse straight on launches,maybe a headlight upgrade as well...
 
one thing is though,is itys reallly really loud..was wondering does anyone know of any suppliers that would have silencer bungs for the Blitz nur spec exhaust as its far too loud at times..would love to get her a bit quieter...

lol..have one already...a RE-Amemiya type1 diffuser(cant see it from those pics))..trying to figure out the "fishtailing "when on a quick launch???

antnicuk

is the wastegate plumbed into the down pipe?  if not, thats where most of your noise is coming from on boost.
400 BHP - 650 KG\'s = 616 BHP Per Ton of Rotary Power

That\'s the way to do it! :Thumbsup!


MINTER

suppose i should have worded it better..more when its on idle being exhaust noise its very noisy...when shes boosting its great seeing the peoples faces as you overtake and scare the bejesus outta them.....
 
would a bung solve this noisy exhaust on idle problem??

Kash_


Bobbit

I think there is a launch control kit somewhere, stops wheel hop etc. Have a search bud, may be the answer to your probs without making the car look like its out of the fast and furious, lol
:Laugh LOL

Glad your enjoying it mate! A diff brace will help you get it off the line quicker, it did have one once but i was only bowering it.
If you want it a bit quieter don\'t bother with a exhaust bung mate, it restricts the boost & isn\'t good for the engine, Just change the mid pipe for a silenced version you shouldn\'t lose any power & it\'ll be a fair bit quieter!
Enjoy mate!

MINTER

were would i get my mits on a silenced mid pipe then ???:)

Bobbit

dragon performance, WGT, Mazarotaryparts to name a few bud
:Laugh LOL

pluss a spoiler wont work at launch they only provide downforce after around 80mph
and it looks sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet the way it is without one.

Nice to see she has a good home...enjoy.:cheers
I\'M ALWAYS IN THE SH*T IT\'S JUST THE DEPTH THAT MAY VARY.
