Paul 442 Report post Posted December 15, 2017 Mike, do you recommend a particular HFC pipe for those who want maximum power but to still pass an MOT without issue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted December 15, 2017 Mike, despite me having no cats, I've had no issues with track day noise limits. Always seems to be well within. 1 DrOsOs reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul, yet to see one that will pass over a longer term period which is why we've tended to stay away from providing those i'm afraid!

spikyone 139 Report post Posted December 22, 2017 Had mine done today (thanks @Mike@TD.co.uk!) and I’ve just been out for a late night blast to see how it felt on some empty roads nearby. From a motorway drive back from Warrington I had the impression that it felt better throughout the rev range - not just where the dip used to be, but even below the dip where the graphs show no difference in torque. The quick blast confirmed that feeling, but also highlighted that the engine feels a lot more flexible and just picks up the revs from anywhere on the tacho. It’s a bit chilly and I’m still on Primacies, but the added urgency shows off the chassis balance even more. Coming off roundabouts the extra torque made it feel like I was in a lower gear. It was probably helped by the catback, which went from “a bit noisy” doing a steady motorway cruise to “bloody hilarious” when driven enthusiastically (I’ll temper the “bit noisy” part by saying that I’d recently installed the Mishimoto induction hose, which had taken away the previous motorway-speed noise. If I’d fitted the induction hose at the same time as the catback it would be more like a change in the noise rather than being noticeably louder) Mike tempted me with the MTEC shift springs too, which turned the stock car’s very good gearshift into an exceptional gearshift. I’m amazed by how much quicker and more precise it feels, and I didn’t think that was possible. On first impressions it’s also taken away the slight feeling that something was scratching when going across the box (1-2, 3-4, and 5-6). I would certainly recommend that to anyone, even someone who wasn’t planning any performance modifications. 3 Mya X Ferron, Lauren and Mike@TD.co.uk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spikyone 139 Report post Posted December 22, 2017 Yes, great to meet you and spend a few hours talking cars - hope it wasn't too much of a distraction from your other work! I just had "the chat" with my insurer too, Adrian Flux (Marker Study). After reading a horror story about how the package had affected someone else's premium, imagine my delight to find there was no premium increase, just an admin fee Hope everyone else gets a Christmas present as good as that!

Cerastes 204 Report post Posted December 22, 2017 I kind of wish I went with the package and mtec springs too; it was just a long distance to go, not to mention the cost in petrol etc getting to TD. It's like a 4-5hr trip Why can't you open up a garage down south Maybe one day in the near future I may go for it, but will have to sell the current Tomei manifold I have installed.

LeviDane 14 Report post Posted December 22, 2017 Got my EL installed today from Mike. Brilliant job! 2nd cat in place and miltek resonated exhaust sounds amazing. I really wanted the UEL but it wasn't in the deal. After having the EL I like the sound more than I thought I would. No regrets. 4-5 hour drive from where I live. I also got to go out in Mike's stage 2 GT86 and man does it move. Impossible not to grin while in the seat. Anyway, the torque dip has been removed completely and the car feels like it breaths freely and not choking with a torque dip. That's the best way to describe it. Nice linear power delivery. I have sounds clips I'll post tomorrow for those interested. 3 Mya X Ferron, Lauren and Mike@TD.co.uk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did the Black Friday deal so EL, which I wanted anyway. I'm in Swindon and can promise the drive was worth it. I booked into a cheap hotel the night before. Like @LeviDane I also got a ride in the turbo car and it's an absolute blast. Like the NA kit but even more so. It was so well sorted that from the passenger seat it felt like it pulled as smoothly as a supercharged car. Really impressed with what they've done. 1 1 KevinA and Mike@TD.co.uk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
