Re: Deep Black R26.

I bet that sounds good with the ITG and the backbox chop !! Get some vids mann )

 

[w33 brl]

how hard was it to remove the standard recirc valve? just for future knowledge from changing it on my clio, wheels and spoiler suit the car well

You'd be surprised how quiet it actually is. Sounds wicked in the car though.

 

[Ed.innit]

Awkward, but easily do able. Tried to get loads of videos and the noise neverreally shows up

 

[James28]

Lovely. Really want one of these.

Lowered Marshalls 200 yesterday on KW V3's, also managed to get a couple of video's of mine...

Both of those videos are private mate.

​Lovely R26.

 

[Ben]

As above, Private videos. Looks lovely, got a real soft spot for these at the minute.

 

[Ed.innit]

Cheers. Vids are public now

 

[Chi]

Loving these atm, yours looks great

 

[Philip.]

Sounds awesome!

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Looks and sounds lovely

The R wheels and spoiler are great additions

 

[Ed.innit]

Cheers, I was considering selling the wheels and going back to standard, but I cleaned it today, it it does look decent lol...

 

[Chi]

Great mods, might consider these for mine..

Great mods, might consider these for mine..

Mid box chop and air box mod with forge recirc it sounds the nuts chap.

 

[Chi]

Agreed... are they easy mods?

 

[Ed.innit]

Great mods, might consider these for mine..

Ive got a blanking plate, and an itg panel filter thats barely covered 1500k if your interested?
£40 posted for them both...
Could be tempted to sell my modified airbox aswell for another £15 (due to postage size)

Pikey mods apart from the Forge recirc.

 

[Ed.innit]

Never heard a midbox chop so cant comment on the noise, but its alot easier chop than the backbox, due to not needing any hangers making, and the pipe is straight...
If you chop the midbox, you wont have any whistle noise, which I lovee...
I never noticed any difference with the recirc valve, only fitted as I got it very cheap, it doesnt give the flutter like you hear in my video unless you have the ITG kit (not filter)
However the itg panel filter and blanking plate does flutter...

 

[.Stevo.C.]

My meg flutters on half throttle with a forge recirc & standard air box.

 

[Ed.innit]

Really, mine has a yellow spring, and only did it when the engine was cold with the standard airbox..
Am I right in thinking your have stage 2, and a hybrid?
If you stick a blue spring in, itll flutter more

Stage 2 yeah but no hybrid unfortunately.

 

[cat171]

Looks nice, loads better now that it's lowered. The R wheels etc look nice on it

 

[Ed.innit]

Cheers Cat...

Stevo, yea, id have thought the extra boost you have makes it chatter. Do you have a yellow spring too?

 

[The Russian.]

Mine chattered with forge recirc, air box mod and itg filter.

Yeah yellow spring mate. Only happens if I build up boost on half throttle if that makes sense.

 

[Cup_Phil]

How the hell have I only just seen those videos? Sounds epic that mate!

 

[Ed.innit]

Cheers Phillip.
They are on PoT too...
