Hi Tommo - they are 3.5" (from Charlie at ProSpeed in Cardiff)
I hope you're going to fit a propper exhaust on there
Can you quantify 'better' in terms of bhp?
I hope you're going to fit a propper exhaust on there
No - I think I'll be sticking with the ProSpeed. I can't say I've found it particularly restrictive, it sounds good and I've had zero problems with it. For the sake of (potentially) a few bhp I'm not too fussed. It's too good an exhaust system in my opinion so it will be staying on the Trophy
As stated from the off, I'm not looking for every last possible ounce of NA performance or for pub bragging rights. Whilst I fully see your viewpoint and understand you are questioning why I'm potentially compromising, I am yet to see evidence that the system is restrictive to a point of being a concern. Of course, this system has only been run with a shagged engine but we shall see... 
Nearly, mate. Nearly! It's as good as there. A few little jobs are being done whilst the recovery truck (to take it to RS Tuning) is having a new clutch sorted...
Any updates Andy ?do you have a date that's its going for mapping yet? has it been booked in ? or are they still working on this ^^^ from last November
Would of been good trophy weather this weekend
It's booked in mate
And don't worry, I've been trying to enjoy this glorious weather albeit in the Vee! I had a plan of action for both the Vee and Type-R this weekend but, sadly, illness has put an end to that. Typical. It always happens when I get a few days off.
MAN FLU ?
It will mateGreat news
Hope you are M are both well!Thankfully it's not man flu. At least, I hope not (although it might well develop into something akin to man flu!) To be honest, I've been burning the candle at both ends of late and been incredibly busy. I think it's caught up with me and I'm just exhausted.
Sound !! what dates it going in ?
LOL!
It was booked in for running in/mapping today and, well, it didn't get to RS Tuning due to the fire at the chemical factory across the way. Not worth shipping the car all the way up to Leeds when the road and businesses were closed whilst police and fire services made the area safe. *sigh*
Mate, it's just one thing after another and I'm starting to get cheesed off. Annoyingly it's completely out of my (or Fred's) hands.
I'm just a bit fed up with it being so close to being done. It's been a heck of a ride over the last 15 months and I was just hoping that the bad luck was all out of the way! But, as you say, it's a mere blip and not the end of the world
Yeah, I know @Daniel. Thanks buddy.

Oh hai bwoken car fwend! No, it doesn't make me feel better mate; I feel bad that you're not able to enjoy your car! LOL!It must be frustrating, but as Dan said, best to get all the bad luck out of the way before you take delivery
Oh, and if it makes you feel better, mine is sat in the garage gathering dust and immobile at the moment as well. Broken car fwends!
In a month, when you're getting up at 4.30am for a blat around those roads we did, and you're excited like an infant at Christmas, it will all be worth it. Looking forward to seeing it at Llandow
But I hear you. I was just having a "toys out the pram" moment. Just frustrating, 'tis all.No date yet fella. It's thrown plans off a bit but hopefully it won't be much longer.
Haha! Thanks Matt. Fingers crossed, eh? Once it's back home I'm thinking of re-writing this entire thread in the form of a story. Probably a comedy.I really hope for you that when it's finished that it stays spot on for many years of fun
Thanks mate. The main thing is that RS remain unscathed so that's definitely a "good thing!" Catch you at Llandow
Tell me about it kind sir! Luckily I'm (usually) a patient and laidback sort of guy (apart from yesterday when my toys exited the pram).So near
I need to talk to you actually to see if you are around on the weekend of 7th/8th June? I'm at Oulton Park for the BTCC (including the SuperTourers!) and wondered if you'd be around on the Saturday evening for a bite to eat and a few drinks? Might be a good chance to meet a few of the guys who will be on the Scotland trip with us I couldn't agree more, mate! Hopefully catch you soon
It's not for sale. I've asked
Unless a buyer was to stump up some silly amount of course. My cut as the middle man would be favourable so let's get the bidding underway...
It's not for sale. I've asked
so where's he hiding to " come on Freddie were you to I want your vee " lol
Damn weather has stopped me from completing the job for now but it looks a LOT better for it
