Ive ordered som eVT ones from Alex, Ive always fancied the VT ones for some reason.  The BSH ones have been great tbh, huge improvement on oem.  The stiffness transfers a 'gruff, sporty' engine note through into the cabin lol

Quite a big update this time guys...
finally got round to having the suspension mods etc fitted at Aks Tuning :evilgrin:

Bilstein Pss10,H&R arbs,Superpro Arms and Salk






Back on its wheels

Next was a service with some Millers Nanodrive and replaced the sump plug with an Ecs magnetic 1
Alex then shot down to have the fast road geo set up done

Finishing off with my custom catch can/42DD plate with forge boost tap ready for my new south gauge(not fitted)


Also had a few niggles sorted out,mine and alexs ocd when it comes down to work etc on the car lol
coupler removed and 'shaved' and replaced the split O ring
Cts silicone pipe removed and shaved for better fitment
Revo intake removed and had the heatshield cut down to fit over the coolant hose as it was actually fouling it
finally finished with a smoke test and everything was perfect :jumpmove:
Now with the power back and the handling the car feels so much tighter,sharper turn in and more confidence on any corners
how it sits now



there was only 1 downside i lost a piece of my carbon splitter on the way down :sad1:
more pics to follow
cheers
