Not sure why the Ktec is louder, but it definitely is. Pipe looks to have less sharp angles in the bends from what I can see, and a lightly bigger bore all the way through.
I was going to go Fatty, but managed to pick my Ktec up second hand 6 months old on eBay for £50, bargain!
I have a Milltek non-res myself, bought second hand. Sounds awesome. No complaints with the quality of it either, mine's an older version and everything is still in tact, no cracks etc.
PMS ones are a top quality product though, get mounts with it too. My only complaint about them are the tips...
ET25 is fine for the front, but would be silly and probably poke a little bit on the rear. Too wide on the rear and it induces some understeer too I noticed when I tried spacers on the rear.
Plate read Clio something, like CL10 something, roof bars too for proper Ski Holiday spec. Parked round the corner from Autobrite, I was going buying some cleaning stuff from there.
As above @JB21, and then we used the rubber caps from my bleed nipples on the end of the lines, stopped it leaking. We did have a significant amount of air in the system when it was back together though, still don't fully know why, took a lot of bleeding.

As per the other thread, with DS2500 fronts and standard Brembo rears my fronts pulled 320kg each and 160kg each on the rear at my last MOT. Quite significant if you ask me, plus those standard rears will start to fade and become less effective with heat on track.
Telling you, forum chinese...
Just that kit yeah, my pistons were okay so just gave them a clean up and cleaned the bores too. Might be worth replacing pistons for the price but it's not really neccessary unless they're knackered.
Coming together slowly but surely! Lots more planned for next year, should be looking and driving even better by the time summer arrives. That’s the plan anyway.
Much less boomy with the rear seats in place. Mine is quite boomy when the engine is under slight load on cruise going uphill etc, but fine at certain speeds on the flat. I didn't make mine to be a Grand Tourer anyway, so it's irrelevant for me.
However, sounds epic when you're on it.
Haha pretty much. It’s that classic situation like how Barbers always have a s**t haircut, Photographers never have any photos of their own stuff lol!
Yeah really glad I stuck with the OEM colour scheme with the Anthracite, the colour of them is much nicer than the standard colour without being...
Cheers! I prefer the grey ones personally, then again I am the guy who prefers the standard RS badges too so haha.
Cheers :wink: On the power front, will probably be going for some 197 cams, ported inlets etc next year, should hopefully see mid 190s and 170ft-lbs then, heard good things from...
Cheers mate! Definitely agree, plus the finish of these wheels with all the flake in the paint as you can see in the photos is amazing, look stunning when clean, so glossy.
Yeah sunstrip is perfect, we will see what it’s like once the buckets are in but I think it should still be the right size...
It's been a while! Many updates since the last one.
New updates are:
Whiteline Rear Anti-roll bar
LED side lights
Bumper quick release catches
Bumper splash guard/undertray added
Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2s
Yokohama AD08Rs
Pure Motorsport Stud Conversion
Pure Motorsport 15mm hub centric front...
Also worth noting. Make sure you're 100% on the spring rate before you order. The valving is done to match the spring rates and so you can't change the springs if you decide you want stiffer without changing the valving.
Definitely go BC Mounts. Can't see a reason why not, same as the AST and KAM ones. Only £66 as an option too.
Here's mine when they were first fitted (ignore where they are camber/caster wise, since been changed).
