Wednesday Could have fitted it today! Instead fitted my ARB etc etc

 

[imprezaworks]

Thoughts on arb? I think it's a nice bit of kit, well as much as a piece of over expensive metal can be

I did quite a bit today, inc all the fast road stuff, but its not been set up till Thursday. My dad came out of Hospital today, so I've only drove it to pick him up, as the Cambers done by Eye for now. However, it did feel like I needed to turn the wheel less to corner, and felt a little more planted. Could be Placebo effect, Ive only done about 6 miles in it!

 

[Mr Burns]

Really? I think it sounds ace lol

I prefer the sound of the other one, but I think I'm just hearing induction lol.

 

[Philip.]

I need to come and show you my car sometime dude!

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah no worries mate. If your passing Sunday pop in (afternoon that is, boss is off)

 

[imprezaworks]

New exhaust off . New bpipe needed a grinder to it as the weld is too big stopping the bolts going through . Should be sorted soon.

 

[imprezaworks]

Exhaust on and love it. Not too loud and easily track material. The weight difference between this one and the piper was noticeable and actually feels better now and the sound of the induction kit compliments the exhaust. Feels quicker too but prob a mixture of the cold weather and its a new exhaust. Will get pics up tomo

 

[Pearce]

Will that back box fit to the standard system so it's not loud or do you need a b pipe ?

 

[imprezaworks]

Fits to the standard mate. Although a lot of people replace the centre pipe and leave the standard backbox, sounds nice too aparantly

 

[Philip.]

I had the bigger unsilenced middle pipe with the standard backbox for about a month, it's so raspy, lol!

 

[imprezaworks]

Well the motorway test is out of the way. On the way to footy last night its no louder than the piper i had. But lol when i put my foot down and wether its in my head, it def feels quicker.

 

[dmallett]

Not sold it yet?

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol nah not yet, allways looking though. Just trying to decide what manifold to get.

 

[kpowell911]

Japspeed You getting a K100/Kpro then I take it?

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah I will be at some stage mate. Thinking it will run lean if its not mapped? Also those japspeed ones you put a link up for, reckon they are any good? 200 seems pretty good. Was offered a toda one for 450 lol

 

[kpowell911]

That noise makes it worth while!

 

[imprezaworks]

Until I go deaf lol

 

[Lawro]

Until I go deaf lol

Ha! You can just put a standard one on then and sell the Spoon.. Win win!

 

[imprezaworks]

Spoon rep

 

[DanielJames]

Exhaust sure does LOOK good buddy, any vids of the sound?

 

[imprezaworks]

Nah not as yet. Prob looking to invest in a go pro or similar in the next couple of months

 

[Philip.]

It'll sound like that, just not as loud

 

[imprezaworks]

Nowhere near that loud tbh lol

 

[Philip.]

Haha! I am getting a bit bored of it tbh.

It's changed a bit since then in sound too. Obviously bedded in, lol!

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah, that your car?

 

[Philip.]

It is indeed mate!

 

[kpowell911]

Mines a Silenced 2.5" B Pipe with a 4" Backbox, I rarely go above 2.5k revs now, just get a feint rumble then. Sounds amazing, like a Touring Car when I rev it to 8600, but I couldnt live with it that loud daily. On the plus side, Im granny driving it to keep the noise down and getting some nice MPG

 

[Philip.]

When I granny drive, it's not too bad!

 

[DanielJames]

I'm thinking mugen twin loop for mine now, been watching videos all morning. Nice and subtle til you hit vtec then it just sounds epic

 

[Mr Burns]

My Civic is going tomorrow, I had my last drive of it today... I'll miss it as it's been a flawless car, and I'll continue to believe that it's a better car to own than a Clio.

 

[imprezaworks]

Thought you were keeping it? Did you get what you wanted for it?

 

[Mr Burns]

Yeah I've had a decent offer so I've accepted it... I'm going to use the Jimny until I've built up my finances then I'll buy a cheap track car, an MX-5 is top of the list.

 

[imprezaworks]

Great stuff mate. Job situation looking up?
