If you need any parts of the stock exhaust let me know. I have a full system gathering dust.

Having fun?!

Gaffer tape is a must.

Sold pending payment,

It was about £600 for the boot holes and the front bumper work. About £300 each. More expensive for me due to the Pearl White paint, but they did a good job.

Not a chance.

GT Wing, 1400.

PM me your address and I'll get you the postage, unless you'd like to collect at the TD Open Day or Japfest?

Yes sir. Got a Varis on order.

Car came back from the bodyshop today, having had the front bumper resprayed and the boot holes filled in.

Also with a few mods, the car can still reach license-losing territory pretty damn quick. I've seen the speedo hit silly speeds in no time at all and mine's only got intake and exhaust mods with a remap.

Going for a TD turbo myself.

A Jackson Racing Supercharger? Never heard of it. Doubt anyone has one in the UK. Most are Sprintex/Harrop/Cosworth.

It's 'coz you drive like a hooligan.

Best colour. I'm in Bracknell so I'll keep an eye out for you!

They're not cheap.

Car's washed and goes into the body shop Wednesday. =D

So I figured I'd start a little thread to cover all the work people are hoping to have done prior to show season starting this year. Even if it's just giving the car a thorough wash and detailing after this grotty winter, what are you hoping to get sorted before all the cameras start going off? I'll be having my front bumper resprayed, rear spoiler removed and bootholes filled in and resprayed, fitting a front lip and side skirts and debadging the rear. I'll also be fitting new matte black toyota emblems and some smoked Valentis to match. What is everyone else hoping to get done?

Are we talking peak? Look it may just be psychological because of the noise I'll grant you, or maybe putting the decat front pipe on at the same time distorted the feel of the increase, but I can 100% say that driving in and driving out of Abbey when they fitted it the car felt much more urgent with the stock catback off.

I humbly disagree, with the stock car feeling relatively under-powered and sluggish every horse helps. I drove a stock car recently and couldn't believe how slow it felt compared to mine.

With an N/A car, a difference of 5 horses is definitely noticeable IMO. I noticed the difference with the intake stuff which went on mine first, then again with the exhaust and decat. If you have an aftermarket manifold I can't help but feel the stock catback is really stopping you getting the most out of that change.

Yeah but a panel filter doesn't sound like GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRR......

Not much in it but you seem to be suffering with the stock catback IMHO. What about swapping it for something quiet? Q300 or similar if you don't like noise?

I even read that bit and it still didn't click!

Sorry to see you go Mark.
