Just do what Lauren does........don't brake 

Engine and gearbox mounts basically finished today. The BMW box sits about 40mm short compared to the OEM box, so we've made the remote shifter a bit longer to accommodate for this. But apart from that, we're very surprised and pleased with how everything fits

Came across these articles recently which test a variety of airfilters and induction kits. Interesting results and seem to show how important a tune is to get the best out of any mods.

Good to see some decent empirical testing done.

If everyone votes 'out' and I have to prat around even longer at Calais I shan't be impressed

Yea as S18 RSG says, most of the 6 character ones (letter and 2 numbers with 3 letters) will be £249. Then the 5s (1 letter and 1 number, 3 letters) are the next price point up at £399 I believe.
To the OP, I prefer the smaller bottom one but personally I only like the JDM import style ones on Japanese cars 

Mine's only under throttle too, anything over 25% or so pressure and it can be heard. I hope putting my secondary cat back in might quieten it down, but I'm not getting it refitted until Monday, so looking for any other issues in the meantime, in case that doesn't fix it.

Thought I'd introduce myself, just paid the deposit on this, hope to pick it up soon, anyone on here seen it about (apart from Rich as it passed through RRG Macc's hands at one point)
 

Fitted the MTEC Clutch Spring yesterday, What a PITA! It was so fiddly to fit! Ive never been happy with the clutch/biting point, this makes it miles easier to get a smooth change. 
Also got a Garmin 35 Dash cam, nice bit of kit and got it for £80 new so well worth it. Speed camera and red camera alerts are spot on too!
Suspect my Manifold -> OP gasket might me leaking slightly too, as I had to reuse the old gasket when I changed the manifold. It's not noticeable on idle but somethings not right, so going to swap the gaskets and re-torque everything when I have the car up to fit the MTEC shift springs at the weekend. 

I think you need experience to set it up to your requirements, though you could just nick my settings like everyone else has.
You need the Pro system though to have the adjustability, so I'd be careful of going for the cheapest set up (whatever that is) as it will not have the same level of adjustability. With the EDFC Active Pro, you have quite a range of adjustment and a number of presets, all of which are set by programming the system and then saving your settings and choosing which one you want for the scenario you need. However, a good road setup, doesn't need much tweaking to turn it into a good track setup, you just have to understand it really. 

The mods work for me as I am not thinking of going FI any time soon. I can highly recommend the Ecutek remap, switching between the tuned map and the stock map is like night and day.

I have just dome all the ECU, exhaust, drive train mods so wheels and suspenders will no doubt be next

Hi, So had my GT since January and now that I've got some bits done and some future plans I thought I'd get a build thread going!
So here's my car when I bought it; 62 Plate with 12.5k miles on the clock. 

After driving around for a few weeks I decided the exhaust needed abit more ooomph! So took it to KMS exhausts in Wigan where they Built a Non Res cat back system, with 4.5" slash cut tips. I've since fitted a Borla UEL Catless manifold, I'm quite pleased with the results. 

That's where I'm up to at the moment, I've got some MTEC Shift springs and the MTEC Clutch spring to fit too as the gear change in mine is awful. 
In the next month or so I'll be ordering some Coilovers, Still deciding between the Tein Flex A or Z. Then it'll be onto Wheels! I really like the look of Japan racing JR3's but they only look good in 9.5" and they're undoubtly going to be heavy!  
Hopefully I'll have some worthwhile mods to update this post with soon!

Well got coilovers fitted tonight and set up for running in. Before I go lower once settled!
Also managed to get one of the tie wires on the wing, awaiting other clamps and eyes to get the rest sorted!
Wednesday next week bumper goes in for the chop.
Then exhaust + aero end of May fingers crossed!

He's changing the colour?  

Does RRG stand for Richies Recovery Garage? 

Gah... I just can't make a decision. Still agonising between Bilsteins and Teins. Now made more complicated by considering WHICH Teins.
Set myself a deadline of the Blyton sprint where Mike has kindly offered to drive me round the block on his newly fitted Street Advances. Then I'll decide. Promise.
What I HAVE done though is booked in at TD for a cat less manifold and remap. See? I can make some decisions...

Pictures are worth a thousand words:


I am literally over the moon.

I have to say, I am warming to this colour:

The ultimate incarnation of an NA 86:-
230hp and weighs under a tonne (980kg if my memory serves me correct). Anyone that knows Tsukuba will now that 58.407 is an insanely quick time.
