    Hybrid?
     
  11. No RS Tuning do a brand new turbo rather than hybrid I believe there is no trade in deal on your old one. I maybe wrong but this non hybrid can go quite a lot higher with regards generating bhp. I don't fancy a forged motor just might look at new suspension and brakes though when they need upgrading.

    -Jamie- RSM Moderator

    It will be a Hybrid, just using a brand new unit and not your stock one.

  16. Brake ducts look good. How'd you get on with the 250 callipers? Post a pic when you get them back from the painter [emoji6]

    -Jamie- RSM Moderator

  18. Finally got around to painting the headlight inserts. Also ripped the black badge off to 're paint as it's scratched to hell.

    Excuse the filthy car!

  19. Also had the clutch and DMF done yesterday. Enjoyed that money leaving my wallet!

    And because the car loves me so much, it's started knocking at the front passenger side, early suspicions are on the swivel joint.
     
  20. Fitted a filter this morning. Bracket coming to keep it solid.

  23. I took the parcel shelf out and went for a drive up to St Andrews with the missus. Plus points, car is much much louder. Negative points, my girlfriend was very loud when I was trying to create said noise. :disappointed:

  27. that right hand wheel on the ramp is very very scarey, hopefully you didnt go under the car like that...
    you can fit the exhaust without removing the rear bumper, i have swapped over a few times now, a bit of wriggling and shoving and it goes

    im afraid i did go under the car like that :sweat:

    i thought it would make pulling the backbox easier if i removed the bumper, and it did. the back bumper it held on alot better than the front!!

    definitely pops and bangs more with the smaller box but i think it might be too loud for me. ill leave it on for a week and decide
     
  29. Do u have a db meter to check the volume?
     
  30. We have all done things like this..jacking up and working without axle stands etc,so you are not alone.
    However i always think twice these days,
    after a family friend mechanic was working under the front of a car in his workshop alone.
    The car was held up only by the jack with no axle stands..and the jack collapsed.

    He wasnt found for several days, and unfortunately died trapped under the car.
    I always wonder how long he suffered trapped for many hours before he died.
    Takes things like that sometimes to make you think twice.

    They were new but showed up a bit different to what I had ordered originally so had to get the face painted, I think you'll agree they look much better now. Perfect size as well for track wheels, 17x9s ET45 3be8029b0838ca0e9750c81f37b887c6.jpg 0e5340e490302d8394f15e1a1051a8d1.jpg

  40. Finally got a whole set of spare Tibors and 4x AD08R's. Next Knockhill!
