3 minutes ago, Lauren said:The TD setup I have sounds good I think. Your choice of course.
Might as well just stick with aftermarket pads. No real point changing the front calipers if you're not going on track or going FI.
I have heard good things about the Td exhaust, love their work on the N/A package so will definitely be keeping them in mind, gonna hold out till I've heard a few in person.
Is there a pads a disc setup that you recommend?

10 minutes ago, Lauren said:3) Tuning developments resonated system.
4) Go a bit extra and get the AP Racing 4 pot setup from Reyland.
Will have to go to a few meets before I make my mind up on exhausts, listened to a few on YouTube, but you can't really get the true sound from that.
as for brakes, don't want a overally expensive set up as I won't be tracking Mt 86, just looking for a fast Road set up. Something for those winedy country roads.

Finally found a good weekend a gave her a good clean, shes lookijng good now.
Future plans
1) looking at getting a set of 18" alloy wheels,not to sure on the colour possiably matt bronze.
2)Would really like to get the Aero kit on but it seems to be next to impossiable to find.
3) Catback exaust system, got 3 options im thinking of, either the HKS legamax, Supersprint system, or Tuning developments system.
4) Looking at a big brake conversion. maybe the Ksport set up from TD
5) the dream to get the turbo install from TD but this will be some time. need to invest in a house first.

i also got my tein coilovers fitted, havent gone for a massive drop, going to lower it a bit more when i get the chance. does sit better now, the back doesnt sit so high. always hated how high it looked. next purchase will be some 18" alloy wheels, thinking of getting some rotas or xxr 527, wanting something thats gonna fill the arches.
Before teins fitted
After teins fitted
Can still go alot lower, just need to find the time to adjust.

So its been a while since i last updated my progres. couple of updates to be made.
1) on the 29th of january i took my car to Tuning developments to get the UEL N/A package instaled. first word that comes to mine is WOW. the install makes a massive differance the car and how it drives.completly gets rid of the torque dip, the car just wants to go all the time.(see dyno) If anyone is unsure weather or not to get the package i say do it. Even if your not a tuner id still do get. i believe this is how the car should have come from the factory. While i was i got the Mtec shifter spring fitted, again makes a massive differance, the gear changes feel alot more postive.

35 minutes ago, nikndel said:I notice you are using TD for stuff might be best to let them do it plus do your Teins use your OEM top mounts?
Gonna give it another on Tuesday, if not I think I'll getting In touch with td see how much they charge and if they can do it at alongside the n/a performance tune. Yeah they use the original top mounts
-
Just now, nikndel said:I take it you've put a Allen key in your drop links?
Nah, is that the reason for it spinning
-
So having some problems trying to fit my coilovers, the 2 19mm bolts on the strut don't wanna move at all, and the 17mm on the drop link just spins, any one got any recommendations, or know how much a garage would charge to fit them. Would preferably like to do it myself.

Got mine booked in for next Friday, after reading the thread I can't wait to see the difference it makes. Mike also tempted me with the mtec shift spring as well.
Lauren reacted to this -
Keeping the stock exhaust for the mean time, but im sure later on down the line I'll look into an aftermarket exhaust.

so today I made the decision to book into tuning developments for their n/a performance package. I've gone for the uel headers as I'm wanting the Scrooby rumble, also gone for the mtec uprated shifter spring and powerflex mount after Mike recommended them. Booked in for December the 29th which can't come soon enough.
Lauren, Quball and spikyone reacted to this -
So after visiting tuning developments and speaking to Mike, he recommended upgrading the drop links when installing coilovers, due to chances of the stock ones breaking when installing coilovers.
I decided yo get myself a set of adjustable drop links from TD which arrived today.

Drove back up to Yorkshire today for Christmas and realised that I pass tuning developments so decided to call in today. Had a good talk to Mike about there n/a performance package and alloy wheel fitment. Highly tempted to go for the tuning package over the holidays as Mike would be able to fit me before go back down south.
Loved the shop think it will be regular stop on off on my way back up north. -

After being away with work for the best 2 weeks, I came home to a early Christmas present from me to me. Nice set of new tein coilovers.
-
After keeping it standard for a few months and fighting off the mod cravings I finally caved in a bought a hks panel filter (may be small but it's a start)
So as of today 24/11/17 the car is standard about from the hks panel filter. Not sure how much longer it will stay standard for the mod cravings are taking over lol.
FUTURE plans
Uel header - tomei/cobra/tuning development still undecided.
Remap.
Full exhaust - hks legamax or supersprint system.
Teins coilovers.
Rata grid alloys.
Full aero bodykit.

So was hoping to drive straight out of Brecon and home for the weekend until this happened. Pumped it back up and within 10 minutes it was completely flat again. National trye it is then.
