Yup there is so much to buy for them don't know if that's good or bad. Lol. Want the performance stuff sorted asap. Then can see what Iam going to do with the exterior have a trc splitter ready to go on but need the plastics done gloss black first. Was on looking at a mongoose 3inch Downpipe there for decent money so if I add the Downpipe and eventually the catback only other thing after that would be the group a air filter from auto specialists. Did you get the decat on yet @Philljdm ? There's a guy who I've dealt with for the intercooler and is getting me my other pair of spacers very easy to deal with think he got me £30 off my intercooler.

Where do you get the cobra 40/40 springs looking a set for my st 3 mate

 

[gsmith]

Jw racing mate. Quick turnaround had mine within 2 days pal.

 

[andy_gsi]

Thanks perfect stance. ..gonna start modding mine new year ...just ordered uprated boost solenoid as a start had a alien tech remap and can feel boost spike also standard mount getting it tight drop in power ..excellent cars they are

 

[gsmith]

Cooler I've put on is very good. The guy Iam getting stuff from over in England is easy to deal with always does everything abit cheaper. Iam ordering a Downpipe and catback start of January but thinking of adding the dreamscience bits as they've a sale on just hoping they carry it into the new year. They are very good as standard but 10 times better when you start to tune them.

 

[andy_gsi]

What you recommend a panel filter or cold induction kit

 

[Gemma]

Your from lisburn @gsmith ??

 

[gsmith]

@Gemma yes I am indeed.
@andy_gsi ill be going induction again had the k&n last time but putting the group a air filter on this one what sort of power are you after?

 

[andy_gsi]

Nothing major prob as much upto 300hp will do me it's totally standard as now 78k on her only drive now and again benefits of company van .... car is quick as is but fancy more punch lol

 

[gsmith]

Don't really drive mine either. There's only 20k on it and think I've done few hundred miles in past month or 2. Lol. 300hp is easily achievable with these the torque they produce is crazy.

 

[andy_gsi]

Where's best locally to get work done to them ..I had a remap but left car in garage 3 months killed battery think it has reset ecu to stock just doesn't seem to pull like it did

 

[gsmith]

I do most things myself have a guy who does work for me who fitted the decat and anything I have trouble with. If your wanting to map it get a dreamscience proven time and time again. Is yours boosting to have boost or full that's how you will know if the map is still on it. Middle guage on dash if the map is still active should go into red and drop out and hold boost.

 

[andy_gsi]

Will start from scratch and put some goodies on it ie fmic exhaust turbo back sports cat see what it does by then lol

 

[gsmith]

Yea intercooler map decat catback should be very close to the power your wanting. Think Iam going to end up buying this catback from dreamscience so might end up selling my deres pipe.

 

[andy_gsi]

I had a full scorpion on it regret taken off selling on note was just right pops and bangs and torque was up peddle happy she was .... Ave a uprated boost solenoid to go on it in new year and getting some penny's together January to put its first fmic and pipes on it looking forward to seeing a little difference

 

[Gemma]

@gsmith I was standing at the traffic at St Paul's Church on the longstone and I could swear you drove past! St is sweet, looks well! (TCZ 808?)

 

[gsmith]

That's the one when did you see it @Gemma Doesn't be out very often really need to start driving it more. Lol.

Good stuff pal. Pity you took the exhaust off. Think Iam going to go for the dreamscience non resonated catback.

 

[andy_gsi]

Section 59 loud lol

 

[Gemma]

@gsmith was about 4ish on Wednesday as I had the wee niece with me and we went for a dander to the shop on the longstone instead of taking the big barge over and trying to park it lol I remembered the plate from the vxr you had

 

[gsmith]

I Was out sorting last minute xmas stuff. Lol. Hoping to get it finished and to a few shows this year. Ahh yes the Vxr one car I will not miss. Lol.

 

[gsmith]

Section 59 loud lol

That the mongoose exhaust? The dreamscience seems to be very similar even has the same back of design and on sale which is a bonus. Lol.

 

[andy_gsi]

Yeah good exhaust ..go for the 4.5 bore one am after

 

[Paul RS]

Thinking of adding these to the list. There a fit for the st just need rs discs to fit them.

They are probably a downgrade. Those Brembos aren't great.

 

[gsmith]

Your the second person to tell me that @Paul RS abit of digging and they appear to not be what I'd be after the standard brakes are pretty decent on these maybe add something like ap or the likes if and when I need more stopping power. the money from them is going is buy the catback instead
