Why don't you like it mate?

Seems a bit boomey,but it may grow on me yet as im never 100% straight away happy when fitting anything new.I guess i like a bit more of a rasp.

Wasnt a fan of the ktec exhaust,nice system just not the sound i was after,so i have cleaned up my old janspeed along with the mounts with a coat of hydrate 80 and satin paint.

I Have kept the ktec sports cat on and i will putting the Ktec system up for sale.

My Wheels could possibly be up for sale soon or maybe do a deal for a set of TD 1.2 or 2118 (in silver tho the 2118)

Love the car build and the thread. Learnt loads reading through it.

I'm looking at cleaning up my engine bay aswell. My inlet manifold etc has been painted and I don't like it but really not sure what route to go down. Seen you've just done yours, how'd you do it? I've seen people do vapour blasting and powder coating 🤔

 

[MrBlonde]

Thanks,im not great at doing the most detail of thread,But get the idea of it.

Vapour blasting and powder coat is a good way,but i just done it at home.Cleaned it down with degreaser etc then some work with wire brush/wheel.Then just used a VHT spray paint @Matthew_

Don’t know the name of the wheel but the bronze/gold ones for me 👊🏼

As much as I like the idea of the EVO Corse I think they're a bit too fussy, maybe? Not sure what it is.

Always love the super clean look of your car on Turinis but think out of those pictures I like the TD wheels best.

Oh ace, you got a good finish for doing it yourself. Did you just go straight VHT or was it primer and clear aswell? Might give it a go myself and see what happens

I'm with TC definitely the Gold Evo's

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Turinis or anthracite EVO Corse for me.

 

[Matt Cup]

I think they all look damn good tbh.

I feel pretty much the same as you mate,i'am in the process of possibly getting a set of TD's and painting them in the same silver as before,then sell the evos.

Just a good prep and the vht paint,im not to worried on the bay as long as its tidy.

WIth the my old janspeed exhaust back on with the ktec sports cat,i had to do a bit of a diy mod with a reducer section for it to join up with the cat.Being the cat is 2.5 dia and janspeed is 2.25.This was just a temp solution until i took it to a exhaust fab shop,which happened last saturday and have to say did a great job and much better than the fella who did the last atempted.

Yes i know the heat shield is a bit rusty and will get on that soon.

Also fitted new gasket and bolts etc
