Just wanted a change is all. The Cosworth tune is a solid set up for sure, but I have a certain theme I'm going for.

@Drambeenie wow, that's a beautiful cosmetic spoiler mod (Drambeenie spoiler risers). I had to study @weederr33 's pictures and build-list to figure out what these were. It's such a clean look, right up my alley.

Thank you!

The Drambeenie risers are amazing looking for sure. Really adds to the style. And best of all, raises the spoiler just enough that you can see it in the rear view mirrors a little :w00t:

Thank you! The initial cold start sounds like ass (imo) but after that sounds pretty righteous. Interior sounds really good, too, with the windows down.

What about with Windows up?

With windows up it sounds amazing. Nice burble and deep tone. Warm starts are great too inside and outside the car.

We had the same tuner with weederr33.

Took the day to install my new TOM'S axelback exhaust!

Out with the old!

In with the new!!

Initial impression is, she's extremely quiet! Even quieter than my Legamax Sport, which is one of the quietest exhausts I know of. Mind you, it's because it's only an axelback. Still sounds amazing!

Tomorrow the HKS headers go on along with my new tune. Will do some datalogging over the weekend for Zach at CSG. Hopefully next weekend I can get an exhaust clip for everyone. Hope you all enjoy!

Update on the header?

Just sent some data logs to Zach at CSG, but haven't really gone full song yet. Car feels nice enough though! Still need to install the HKS intake duct and do some further logging.

I'm sure that after installing the headers it wasn't quiet anymore :bellyroll:

He is installing an HKS EL so it may not be that bad. I am curious for the full exhaust sound.

I'll get a clip this coming weekend for sure!

And it really is very quiet with the headers. Also less raspy than the Nameless ones I had. I do have the stock midpipe so I might try to find an aftermarket one. The Work's looks good enough!

Forgot to post this, but looks like I've got a lovely patch I need to get fixed. Leaky timing cover is getting worse it appears. I've got some high temp RTV sealant so I'll try to clean this all off this weekend and get it fixed.

O.Z. Ultraleggera's 17x8 +35mm offset. Got them in black as I figured it would match better than the graphite gray. They clear the brembo brakes wonderfully, too!
