Going in on the 27th!
Can't wait, although I have another issue that toms looking at when it's in, a wobble under acceleration in 3rd gear up :( just praying it's not a gearbox or something else costly!
Cant you just take the batteries out of her Hearing Aids ;)
What about a Stealth Centre section and add one of the boxes back in, yes its going to reduce noise but you cant have your cake and eat it unfortunately in a situation like this.
Looks good.
For those asking what paint... when i did mine it just had a couple of coats of 'Standard' Halfords Primer followed by 'Standard' Halfords colour on top and its lasted over 12 months so far with no issues.
Best to remove the top inlet (Takes 2 seconds) and Spray IMO
Gutted for you... maybe only 32 with Aircon now... Be interested to see if it is a write off how the insurance view the pay out and if any consideration will be given to the rarity of the car, or if they will just view it the same as a Blue one.
Locally I wouldn't use anyone but:

Between me and my mates we have probably had a good 20 sets of wheels done by them over the years.
Dave you been sheep worrying again... I told you last time about those Velcro Gloves and running round the Brecons with your **** out would end in tears ;)
PS: Dont rub it in 'The best one yet' and I couldnt make it :(
Looks great, like you very glad u went for black!
Just awaiting my call to book me in now, then once fitted I'll give the cup a bit if loving as she has been neglected of late :(
On a side note I didn't know you and Stunty knew each other from the KA days, I was a Klub member to for a while!!
I had to pull out of going in the run :( few issues with the cup at the moment, due into JMS for the boys to have a look in next few weeks, bit gutted I'm having to miss the run :(
I achieved a lower bhp than with the 4-1 manifold (dropped 2 bhp) but gained 7lbft torque although the two RR runs were done at different RR's so not a fair comparison.
The noticeable change was a much smoother feeling power delivery, and of course the ease of changing the CAT when needed.
If it is the 182 manifold then you will need either a sport cat or link pipe specifically for linking the manifold to a 172 system.
I run a 4-2-1, 182 manifold on my cup with a Ktec link pipe to a 172 supersport stealth system, allows easy swap to the sports cat I also have come MOT time :)
Looks Nice... I REALLY need to get off my backside and clean mine up... Maybe when i get it back from Tom after he has fitted the RS2 and sorted my 'Wobble' out. Still have my Roll cage, Decat and Samcos to fit as well!
