Hey all,

So finally creating a thread for the new motor in my life!

I'm actually super happy with it! Far more useable on the road!

However with myself and my very good mate Lloyd (Bowen) we do make somewhat of a statement when driving together

Someone say TicTacs

It's also quite big compared to a C class...I was surprised!

Lovely motor, enjoy it and most importantly don't forget a few mods

I ****ing love these

I know what you mean about the size! They are surprisingly big in the flesh.

The Beemer a little too quick for the road you reckon?

Cheers Jay, meet up soon?

Definitely too quick for the road, 0-60 in 4.5s and you can imagine how quickly you're doing more than double the NSL!

=

Yeah for sure, although the skoda is off the road for a wee while.

I consider my little diesel a little too quick for normal roads so God knows what the M3 was like

Awesome, love the tic tac comment

If you excuse the pun it's refreshing to see a couple of bright coloured cars on the road.

The exhaust sounds great

Epic car mate fair play to ya! If you are round my way soon please let me know :p would love a nose!

Nice work Josh.

Pfffffft ford.....

Quick pic when I arrived at work today. Eye catching.

Looking good. Least you won't lose it in the car park. Keep us up to date on mods

Sent from my Galaxy S5

Loved the M3 not so keen on the dagenham dustbin

I'd suggest not following the topic then

Shiny bits arrived today...!

Plenum and intercooler

Plenum fitted and feels like huge mid range gains!

Mmmmmm.... Airtec.

Fantastic looking car.

This is gonna sound daft but what does the plenum do? Cant say iv stumbled across these in jap world

Here you got Stu..

There were a number of cases of the standard inlet plenums(top of the inlet manifold) exploding on high boost, they were plastic.

Increase in BHP & Torque, expect to see gains from 5 - 10 bhp peak & 20 to 40 lbft torque 'We saw up to 25bhp mid range gains on our tests.

Heat treated for 36 hours & then pressure tested to 56 psi to ensure maximum strength

Won't crack or burst like ford oem plastic manfold

Unique & Stunning design, by far the best looking manifold available

CNC Inlet ports to match lower section of the Intake manifold 'Injector side' only 1 other cast manifold offers this critical design feature

Value for money, the AutoSpecialists pledge

'You can feel the difference when fitted!' this is what our customers are telling us time and time again.

Ahhh

My mates got an st but hes thinking about getting one of these so im trying to gather as much info as possible to convince him todo it then mod it

Stunning piece of kit and very tuneable as you are proving

Just seen this thread Josh, I see you chose a subtle replacement for the M3  :p

 

 Looks like you could have some fun in that, hope you are allowed on track at Castle Combe so we can see what it can do.

I hope the first mod you've done is security..by all accounts the RS appears to be flavour of the month with the crims! I must have seen 4 posts this week of RS models being nicked..something about the obd port.

I'd love an RS, I pass one every day in white. Mmm

Cheers Jay! Yes subtle indeed

I'm certainly enjoying it, it's rather noisy now so if like to pop down to Llandow just to get it sound checked so I know it is actually still track friendly - it should just about be!

I do feel sorry for the neighbours with a 4:45am cold start cycle!

Chris, thanks, yeah security is a big issue, much like the BM's! I have a disklok and are looking into an aftermarket alarm with tracker built in also. It's stored on my drive too every night.

Stunning car. Have had the joy of driving a couple now one standard and one 400bhp i would pick the standard one any day of the week. One of the best cars i have drove and heard.

I followed a green one last night was blatantly highly tuned but one side of the rear bumper, all up the boot and the number plate was all melted. Looked strange.
