Makes sense. £390 plus what ever they charge for a CAT, then the down pipe. Still good value for something i'm assuming they make to order? Any reviews on them and the sound they produce?

Ok, im confused? surely a turbo back includes the front pipe/down pipe? or are they different things? its confusing with all these pipes lol, modular pipe, front pipe, down pipe...

Exactly! Just been looking at the link you sent for the Russ Fellows exhaust... do you think it would be worth buying a turbo back system from them with a de-cat, or buying a cat back with de-cat and then the down pipe from Ross Sport?

Is it? oh ok, i thought it was just the FQ360's that got the carbon goodies. Fair enough i'll leave it on then. Vortex Generator needs re-lacquering along with the front splitter, so will be looking to get that sorted over the next week or two. Then Cambelt and fluids with Auto Torque... i know...

As requested @Silent_Scone... Previous owner didn't care for cleaning the exhaust by the looks of it, so spent about an hour on it with some wire wool and Autosol. Not where i want it yet, but getting there. Also really don't like the carbon surround for the exhaust so will be looking to get...

Will do later on tonight or tomorrow... it needs a clean now its been driven a fair bit since i picked it up on Monday XP8 Carbotech pads love to shed their dust !

Yeah the golf is a million miles apart from this in terms of driver involvement and sheer fun behind the wheel. The Golf was good at a lot of things, which is why they call it a 90% car... it is far more comfy and convenient than the Evo, but that 10% it lacks is where the Evo is king. Have you...

Picked her up last night :cool: Drive home was great as i went to collect it with my mate in his 9 Wagon, so had some fun down the A/B roads we had to drive for the whole journey. Completely forgot what driving around in a "proper" car felt like after having the completely numb/dull Golf R...

Mine is just a 9 FQ320, so the FQ360 MR as far as I know has the exact same engine as mine but with race cat, fuel pump, and remap. Or were you thinking I had another variant? Its annoying as you see/hear so many opinions and recommendations for 400/400, just going to work with Auto Torque and...

Good stuff, who's done/doing that? Did they just say the limiting factors were the blower and exhaust to hit 400/400?

Awesome! Big saving there thanks!! Where are you taking yours for mapping?

Cheers Scott, Yeah I'm sure the 3" pipe is a must. Shopping will start as soon as I've picked it up hopefully. I think we need to organise a Jap rally car meet with those of us ok here that are interested. Yeah Pulsar sold within 10-15 mins of putting it up, glad to see the back of the...

Ah thanks for the heads up mate. Will see what Auto Torque have available, and if needs be, get the necessary ordered ASAP! Any luck progressing your list of parts? I'm assuming they are all being bought with the aim of 400/400? I need to check what the 320 has, but I do know it's got the cat...

Cheers, it's a standard 9 FQ320 with Meista R Coilovers n that's it basically. Really tidy and full service history from new. Been on the case to Auto Torque for a full service including belts soon as I collect it, and also winding it up to the magical 400/400. Any ideas what I'm looking at in...

Moved back to the dark side and put a deposit down on this on Friday :cool:

Great work! You do it yourself? Videos needed!

Interested in taking a Ph1 to them for a Megane engine/box conversion... anyone on here know if they've carried out this job on another other 1*2 and what the quality etc has been like? the chap who ive emailed about it a while ago seemed a nice chap and sent over a full quote etc... just had to...

Did you try Ant @ Indigo for the turbo? they advertise them on the MLR in the shop? maybe worth a shot to speed things up?

I am indeed... any good to you ?

I know of a very clean and tidy one if you're interested Ant. PM me for details as i was going to buy it myself...

@Silent_Scone I thought the 8 MR's came with an 80's series turbo as standard, like the 9 FQ's ? If not, then i'm confused by you saying it had an 80's series on it, then put back to standard, but now it has a 10.5? Unless a 10.5 is standard on the 8 MR?

What were you fed up with?

Interesting, whats made you want to try one of them? I hate the things personally haha!

Whats in the pipe line?

Shame you're selling, have enjoyed reading the trials and tribulations of your ownership. All the best with the sale mate, the right person will be a long sharpish and have that off you!

Yep... all my own fault in hindsight for not carrying out a UK HPI check, but i was completely thrown by this guys reputation, along with the pictures, and detailed for sale description he sent me. It didn't even cross my mind to carry out the HPI check as i would have thought he'd know about...

Yep it was in great condition.... right up until the point where i found out it was a f*cking CAT C !!! a chap interested in buying it bought it to my attention, so when i quizzed the guy i bought it off, he says he had no idea and that he still thinks its worth £8k at least. Eitherway, the car...

Thanks Scott... to be fair the last lot of pictures were pretty crappy. I spent a day on it at the weekend giving it a once over with nothing more than a bit of elbow grease, back to black, and some Meguiars rapid detailer. I took it to my trusted local mechanic who's been a Pulsar owner for...

Looks like i may be returning to Evo ownership very soon :cool: ... I've not bonded with the Pulsar as i expected, so decided to put it back up for sale (https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/nissan/pulsar/nissan-pulsar-gti-r/7222305). Currently in talks with Ant @ Indigo GT to...

Then loud it shall be !!! Those exhausts are crazy!!
