Not sure if you want something loud but I had one of these on old type r, sounded awesome and light to go with it. Had to have a slip join made though as its 3.5" to mate it to my 3" dp

The hunt continues.
What about RCM exhausts, anyone have any experience, with them? I know the RCM headers are popular, but quite a few people have said that when buying an RCM product, you have to factor in the RCM tax! lol

He would have broke it again by then!
Mine is supposed to be going down but not sure of I'll make it as the ****** delivery company didn't deliver my parcel today.....
So with no brake discs I'm kind of ****ed

That anti lag will only be poppy bangy anti lag I wouldn't Worry about the clutch
It's the launch that will do your clutch and box in.
I'm down at the engineers now trying to get these discs machined so I can fit them all tonight. I can see a beer fuelled late night preparation going on tonight....

And you're right I don't tend to use my brakes unless absolutely nessecary!

You needed them when they had the quarter mile at RAF Portreath. There was only a few hundred yards between where the track ended and the cliff edge. I burnt my clutch out as well

Small update.
New sound system installed.
I had an Android head unit to go in the car, fitted it, worked fine but it didn't fit in the double DIN particularly well so it had to go.
So I fitted the following over the last week.
Pioneer AVIC-F88DAB - 2 Din CD DVD Bluetooth Car Stereo DAB+ headunit.
Focal Integration ISN 6.5" 17cm Component Speakers in front doors (used Corsa speaker adapters to fit).
Focal Integration ISC 690 6x9” speakers on rear parcel shelf.
Hertz DBA 200.3 Active Sub Box in boot. Nice and easy to remove when boot space is needed.
Also installed a Thinkware F750 Dash Cam, front and rear 1080p cameras. Its very good indeed, picture quality of both cameras is excellent. Has GPS, G Sensor and WiFi. And of particular interest it has a Parking mode which records while your away from the car, it has voltage sensor built in and will shut itself off if the battery voltage drops below a predetermined figure.
Not a cheap dash cam, but one of the best I think.
Other things are happening soon.
I obtained a proper quick rack from a newage, just waiting for couplings to be modded, and also installation of a newage power steering pump and lines.
On its way from japan is a Tomei Expreme Ti Cat Back Exhaust System. Been waiting a while for it. It only weighs 5.1kg!!!!
Just waiting for some nice weather and I will be installing the MeisterR GT1 coilovers.
Cheers

Went with the stroker as it was too good a deal to pass up. And I am happy that I did.
Need to get a 6 Speed DCCD conversion before the next phase of power increase is sought. After thats installed, it will be FMIC and new turbo time!

The engine was working fine, it was not knocking. However, it was a hybrid motor! It had legacy heads on it and there was no way of knowing if the engine was as described by the seller. And I am 99% sure that it would have been nothing like as described considering the other lies the seller blatantly made!
