A few tastful little upgrades for my V6

[Oldskoolbaby]

Hi, ive been looking for a couple of little things for my ph1 v6 but can't seem to find them. Im after a carbonfiber front splitter, similar to the ones fitted to the trophy race cars and some carbon air scoops. I really want it all to look factory fitted and purposeful so a good quality part is a must. Ive already got an exhaust thought up that will include two "active" valves to control the noise level from pretty roudy to bloody insane but thats another story.

Any help will be much appreiciated

Thanks

Elaborate about this exhaust!!? I'm interested.

Carbon vents are available from k-tec/Or on eBay! 200odd!

Splitter, i got mine from Martin (Midengine on v6clio.net) It's not CF. But Looks the piece.

Pics of your vee! I miss mine!

Active valves is real oldskool. You going electronic or manual cable butterfly?

Speak to Ray on v6clio.net about your CF needs.

Ok, well on the exhaust front, im planning on either buying one of k-tec's silencers and modifying it, http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1086 , or have one made thats similar in design. However, at either end of the silencer will be a valve that when open will completly bypass the box but still use the same two tail pipes. Im currently looking into turbocharching it at the moment and that is really for then to increase throttle response.

Is it any louder inside the car?

a touch! But it's perfect for me. pops and bangs and doesn't make much more noise. IK makes more noise.

Yeah you do have to keep an eye on the speedo in them. Drove down to Bristol on the M4 last friday and and was doing 110 without even realising just after the Castle combe junction. Ive never had a 6 speed either so 110 does really seem like 70-80 compared to other hatches.
