I have the old OpenFlash UEL catless header, oem over pipe and front pipe. It's not too loud. My tune does have a reduced cold start idle so I can't speak for that particular portion.
Here is what she sounds like at full tilt, microphone is attached at the rear license plate.

Nice run, man! Had a little happy dance goin’ there at the end

Thanks! Yeah, that run just barely edged me into 3rd PAX out of 75ish drivers, many of which are very talented and very fast. Plus the car felt great all day with real nice controllable mid-corner on throttle rotation.

Out for the summer 😁

BrahmaBull1990 · 04-07-2021, 10:28 PM

Not my car but such an EPIC V8 swap on a twin...I’m shocked tbh

gen3v8 · 04-08-2021, 12:33 AM

Changed the gearbox and dif oils

therealstoly · 04-08-2021, 09:09 PM

Manicci mats and new sills/scuffs from Subispeed.

Not 100% sure how I feel about the Aero Fins...

Renegade Motorsports cap kit to rid the bay of all the yellow caps, APR shroud, and some Cusco fanboi bits and pieces.

Swapped the Sachs/Eibach out with the CSG Tein FLA kit. Also installed the ARP OEM length studs. CSGs come with very little, if any, adjustments needed. I did two rounds of minute tweaking at each corner based on my weight etc. and had Street Automotive in Reno take over for the final fine tuning of camber/caster/et al and alignment.

Yesterday got the car back from the shop.

Had:

* TOB and clutch fork replaced with new 2017+ TOB, Verus fork/pivot
* Jackson Racing combo oil cooler/radiator

Can't wait to see how everything feels and works!

How many miles on your TOB before it crapped out?

I’m at about 47,000 right now.

The thing to keep in mind is I learned manual on this car so I probably put those bits through a bit of a beating the first few thousand miles.

I’ve had different kinds of TOB noises for probably a year or so already (past 10k or so miles). Mostly like marble rolling around type noises that went away if I pushed in the clutch. Also some difficult shifting even with recent trans fluid changes.

About a month ago I started getting some intermittent higher pitched whirring/buzzing noises that came and went, but would go away if I clutched in too.

So I figured I should just get it swapped out. It could’ve been a little early too but I wanted to be safe.

I also had my TOB replaced at 50k miles with the same parts.

Definitely recommend getting it done sooner than later!

Any benefit for Tein coilover compared to Sachs/Eibach?

The machine becomes weightless. Just disappears. And all that's left is a body moving through space and time. 7,000 RPM. That's where you meet it. You feel it coming. It creeps up on you, close in your ear. Asks you a question. The only question that matters. Who are you?
