4RE Leather Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Mate ive thought about it but thats a big chunk out of a deposit fund I think il go to Abbey for the uprev tune, i dont mind travelling to Jez if hes better for it though? Decisions decisions lol I am not knocking Jezz and would not dream of it but Abbey is on your doorstep so it makes sense! And the reason I keep going back is the after care? You did say you were doing the spacer yourself did you not? Tuned exhaust, High flow panel filter. (Not Pop charger) Decats or high flow. Down to Abbey for 09:00. on the road playing for lunch time. Now what more could you ask for? Yep at the end of the day you need to do what ever you feel comfy with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 All the work will be done by myself at work yeah all I'll need is the uprev done, does make sense to go abbey though as it really isn't far no doubt in their ability either, il get on the phone to them once its ready to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leosille Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 lovely car and the exhaust is immense, whats the difference between resonated and non, loudness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 The non resonated is about 7db louder I believe, I wasn't going to risk getting it just incase it was to loud, especially with de cats and a new y pipe Alot lighter than the standard stuff to so another advantage there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leosille Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 il have to watch your build then because all things you seem to be going to get are on my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Very nice I liked Hunpy's Cobra when he took me for a ride Decats would be too much for me personally but each to their own... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arran Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 I don't want de cats for there noise I want them for the power they release, but a little noise comes with it so I'm going for silenced ones. With an uprev and plenum spacer along with the de cats is there a noticeable difference to the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh d@mn I would have snapped that bad boy up if I'd seen it! Been on the lookout for one for a while now. Re: uprev, this will make the most difference to the car as it makes it a lot more responsive in 1st-3rd in particular. Well worth it IMO Plenum spacer is supposed to be good too but can't comment personally as I don't have one. Exhaust upgrade is really just for the noise, which as you have found out is well worth it Have you looked at the motordyne decats and XYZ pipe with race cat? 100% MOT compliant and very tasty bits of kit I have these with an HKS Super Soundmaster exhaust and it's loud when you want but not when you don't (i.e. cruising on a long motorway journey). Very raspy combo though so not everyone's cup of tea. I love it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Well its been a little while, but have a couple of updates now im 4 months in to ownership. Plans are coming along nicely and now i know i have a great base to start tuning the lump with thanks the the RR day at Abbey (Thanks Mark ) First up courtesy of Steve at Redline is my new black Nismo gearknob, shortens the throw of the change aswell as looking the danglies. Taken the decal off the top now and sourced another which ive put underneath the heater control panel to the right to keep it out the way and free from damage Secondly from EP Racing is my new carbon fibre door sills which arrived today if the weather is ok tomorrow il fit them Also went on a night time drive to the new hindhead tunnel to make some noise with the Cobra, recorded a couple videos as the inner 12 year old in me said so Just a quick photo of how she stands at the moment, not for long though Comments welcome as usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Ill be interested to know how the carbon sills fit. Post us a review when they are on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
