Best for someone more knowledgable than I to reply but my problem is not the berks but the combination of the up rev I had done prior to the berks and the berks. The up rev made the car run lean, the berks do that too making the car run very lean, hence why I need the up rev modified. Just berks should be fine but an up rev is a good idea to get the most from them. Regarding you worry about the mid range rasp of the berks, I can understand that, I was worried at first but noemi know it's a characteristic of the berks I'm not worried, I kinda like the sound. It only occurs when the car is under load between 4-4.5k revs. I would never go back to the old cats, car was way too quiet.

I'm biased but it's got to be the bugatti type 35. Friend of the family has one and it sounds amazing. Was lucky enough to get a ride around silverstone in it, one of the highlights for me.

Have a great trip, looking forward to the stories and pics Enjoy

Hahaha

Now that does look very impressive and I can definitely appreciate the level of work that's gone into that. Nice quality job

Doh what idiots

Ah soz matey, wasn't sure, but just incase i said he should pm you can definitely recommend Tarmac, always kept us up to date on progress and once you have the HFCs on the car there is no going back the sound is awesome.

Glad you got the results, first stage is always finding out the problem so at least it can be addressed. Hope this is the start of the road to recovery for you as you seemed in a lot of pain up in Wales.

Was so posted a link which gives info on the group buy we recently did. Cost for the initial batch was 380, the 2nd was 400. We got them from Tarmac a trader on here but I believe he is not going to do any more, worth a pm though. Otherwise check out some of the other traders on the forum.

I guess you missed my thread from the weekend on the berks HFCs I had recently installed. viewtopic.php?f=20&t=51046 They make a big difference to the sound of the car, especially with an aftermarket exhaust. They also give a slight bhp boost, but to take advantage of that fully you would need a remap. They can be very diddly to install as the bolts are very awkward to get at. Expect to pay 2 hours labour at a local garage to get them done. From my experience this is likely to cost from £100-£150. I love mine, car sounds fantastic.

+1 to that.

Under the glove box? Found this when fitting the phone kit. Huh? Where? Try lifting up the bottom of the large storage compartment behind the passenger seat

Have you all found the secret document holder area, never knew that existed until recently.

Seems like all of us who bought the berks HFCs are getting that little rasp / rattle. Must admit I do kinda like it, but was worrying when I kept hearing it at the start as I too thought something was rattling loose.

Welcome , not too far away for our local meets

Good luck with the transplant. I look forward to lots of updates and pics and seeing the other old gal come back to life.

Cheers for the reply. Appreciate the advice as I'm a little worried to drive her now til I get the remap done. Don't know if I'm being over worried but better safe than sorry. No it's not boomey on the motorway at all, come back from Wales last night cruising along sensibly at just under 3k revs and the loudest noise was tyres and wind. It's what I love about the milltek and berks, quiet when you want it but throaty and burbling when you put your foot down Found a little tunnel today to try out, i tell you as clarkson said I nearly had a little crysis. Can't wait for heinhead.

Looks like it's just rolled out of the showroom,

Wow

Lol yeah I remember saying nope no mods for me lol. I guess its being in the general vicinity of Graham and dave and it rubs off lol. Bit of a panic though, I've been informed that since the hfc's make the car run lean and the up rev does that too the car could be running very lean. I'm going to get it booked into abbey to have the remap tweaked but until then on a daily commute to work am I risking damage to the valves etc until the remap tweak ?

Great pics and congratulations to all the winners

Glad you liked it guys, and glad i can help neil only problem is my fuel consumption seems to have gone through the floor Just contacted sky insurance to get cover for the new alloys and the hfc and no change to premiums so it's all win win. Just got to book it back in with abbey now for the remap

Cheers for the info g man, thought it was supposed to sound like that, the guys that fitted it made sure everything was tight so assumed it was a characteristic. Yup, you describe it well as a little rasp. Actually kinda like it. Glad you had fun in the lakes, pity I couldn't make it this year

I now know what G-man and octet meant when they said that the Berks hfcs maks your car sound pornographic. OMG - its like someone has given my little milltek exhaust viagra. Im so totally in love with my car all over again. Ive used up 3/4s of my fuel tank this weekend enjoying the new sound. Only way i can describe it is you know when you drive between two stone walls, or a tunnel and you get that lovely exhaust echo coming back at you - well now you dont need the walls. Its just, wow. Car sounds so much more fun to drive now. Really sounds much more of a muscle car. I still get the nice rumble, burble thats indicative of the milltek but its deeper and far nicer Took dad out in it this afternoon and on the trip back from town made a little vid to hopefully show you what it sounds like. Sounds great through the little village of Mordiford. The drive isnt too exciting as I was a good boy and stuck to the speed limits but the noise of the car makes it seem so much quicker, even just pootling around town is fun. One guy nearly fell over trying to crane his neck to see what was making the noise. God i love it. Quick question though to those that have got one of the berks hfc. Im noticing a raspy tinny noise around 4-4.5k revs, also when i let off the accelerator at low revs. Ive read this seems to be quite common. Im fine with it as i actually quite like it, but wanted to check incase it indicated something could be loose. Didnt make the noise before the berks went on.... Anyways heres the little vid, lots of wind noise im afraid as the roof was down since it was such a gorgeous day.

great photos looks like a i missed a good meeting and some lovely roads
