Awesome! I'll have a look in those
I heard good things & bad things about the Nankangs... so it's not that of an easy choice, but i do want a good wet-condition performing tire since our cars can get a little too tailhappy on wet roads
I'll take a look at the reviews on the Advan Sport's!
Thanks man!

Hello projectXTR.
You can still make the86 break-out easily, but not as ridiculously as on the stock Michelins. With those you can't even use a fraction of what the chassis can do IMHO. Michelins ... it always slides, on the Eagle's it still slides, but only when you want it ! And they drift nicely, meaning you feel it coming and it's not abrupt total loss of grip. I really like them, and you can find them for a very good price (plenty % of discount on for example pneusonline -delticom-). Also not unimportant.

Hi there,
I am from Cologne/Köln/Keulen in Germany and like to ask the Belgium GT crowd for some tips. I want to make a four country round-trip: Germany-the Netherlands-Belgium-Luxemburg and back. Of course I'll be heading into Belgium at Trilandenpunt. Any suggestions for a nice north to south trip from there to Luxemburg? Winding roads would be nice, and not too bumpy :-) And tour guides are always welcome as well. In return I can offer some tour guide around the Eifel / Nürburgring region.

Cheers from Cologne, Michael

Is it catless (looks like it)?
Won't it be smelly and also illegal for technical inspection or will you be removing it every year?

True! Forgot about the other ones!
Hahaha! Well... everything
I'm thinking of going for the FT86 speedfactory catted UEL header, just don't know if i could pass inspection with it... it has a cat & is barely visible

I also just got my custom exhaust done at skytune yesterday and holy crappers it's freakishly loud! (or maybe i just still have to get used to it lol)
I'm going to make little video comparing stock & custom, once it's done i'll post up a link

That would be good But probably also pricey!
Do they actually sell catted front & overpipes for our cars?
I would like to fully change the exhaust with time since it'll give most gains (for us) & also since FI is forbidden

And maybe my exhaust is not actually THAT loud, maybe it's just me not being used to a petrol car yet with an exhaust mod haha :p

This is it btw (Perrin air inlet tube included) :

Looks nice but the tips are a not my style :p yes there are some options for catted and resonated front pipes like nameless and magnaflow that give power and keep the noise down anyway can inspection really see the header? We have a pretty large cover underneath the engine so mayby you can still get trough if your car isent insanely loud and passes co2 and shit

Thanks, i absolutely love this kind of exhaust (like the Invidia N1)
That's good to know, will look into that!
Nope, from underneath the car you can't see anything from the header, from the engine bay you can... So if they pop the hood they'll see... Cause our stock headers have a lot of metal around the tubes (from the pics i've seen)

LOL, just like that on the street?! Wish i had the knowledge/ability to do that
How does it sound? And don't you have the CEL light coming on since it's now carless?
