Really need to do this one, will see if I'm free.

Bugger, missed this completely!

Looking great dude! Definitely prefer the new colour for the interior!

Only had my J&Rs since January, but certainly seem fine.

This is so good Dann. Had no idea when you bought this car where it would end up.

I'm local to SRR so I may pop back another time.

Plus side I spent a bit of time dicking around with my RS Tuner and manged to turn off my EML light from my sports cat, and the air bag lights, so that's a win!

I'm confident it will be improved and fingers crossed there's another 10bhp in there...

Today was the day with the South Central group, we headed over to Surrey Rolling Road for some Dyno fun. I'm a little heartbroken, but optimistic... All clean and ready to roll Here was my graph... And here was the issue... Dan said it would likely need a second visit to get the map...

Cheers for organising this morning Tim. Was good fun. Safe to say I'm disappointed with the results, but at least there's a problem to fix...

Recently had one fitted on my road car, completely bearable with a slightly raised idle. never stalled it once, touch wood.

Awesome, will hopefully see this when all is back together and it's making all the right kinds of burbles again!

Such a nice looking build.

Nice, cheers!

Which bass ports did you use for your brake ducts, dude?

Mine was standard when I got 183bhp, can't say how real that number was really, but other standard cars were getting 165-170bhp, which sounds about right.

It's pulled 183bhp and 170bhp before at SRR, so I would say it's above average? Hoping to break 190bhp, but might be optimistic, most people I've seen with 438s that have broken the 190bhp mark have matched inlets, a decat, and AC deletes etc. But I have standard inlets, a sports cat, and AC...

Payment done!

Certainly seem OK to look at, and the fit seems good. Only time will tell with regards to longevity of the parts.

Had the car just over 5 years now a, and as I can't actually keep track of all the bits of I've done or had done done to it myself, I thought I'd throw up a fashionable spec list! So, no pics in this post, sorry... Engine - Cat Cams 438 cams - TTV Lightened Flywheel - ARP Rod bolts - 'Fatty'...

Yep, will be down for this. Will sort the money for you later this week.

That's a result, nice work!

Current plan is to put them on, and keep the old ones around, and if they go tits up, I'll get the OEMs refurbished. Dropped the car off with Dan @ SJM this morning for all the above to be fitted. With any luck, I will be picking it up later this week.

Nice writing, made me laugh at how many of these same problems I've had as well!

Not sure what to do in truth, currently J&Rs seem like my best option. Opinion varies around the internet though...

Put the new brake pads in yesterday, and polished the headlights again, it's looking good! The drivers side drive shaft is knackered, both CVs are torn and the support bearing looks like this... So think I'll need to replace all that as well, which will be fun. Also now pretty sure that...

I'm ready to feel that 0.0001hp/£ that it will benefit me!

I think they are in a 182, not so much in a 172. We shall see!

The car has been in my ownership for 5 years now, a lot has changed, but as the belts are due and a it needs a lot of other work doing, it's time for some new bits! Fatty's induction set up - no louder than normal up to 3k rpm, comes alive after that! So early in the new year, all this lot is...

Ones I'm sure on are 2000-2003.
