Revving the engine in my carpark:

Waiting for traffic to move up before I thrashed it

Some night run vids:

Couple cams from the outside today. Still crappy iPhone. Sound seems to cut out during the overrun. And on another run I forgot to shift out of first haha. So it doesn't sound the greatest.

Can you clarify what the akropovik exhaust is?
I.e. is it just the muffler tips

[jono0309]

I dont think you would just buy the tips. Looks to be a catback.

Pretty much. It's just a slip on exhaust. Albeit a very expensive slip on exhaust . Sounds is crazy though! This is pretty much all it is.

Thanks man.
Yeah that exhaust doesn't look like much but I have seen the R32/R rear mufflers and they are huge!!
These tiny dual mufflers would definately make it louder..I'll have to have a listen!

[ConR]

Yeah some custom work had to be done to mate the Akra to the Milltek DP. I'll try and get a photo of the full TBE when it's back up on a hoist (prolly this week). My stock exhaust had to cut off between the cat and the muffler.

Thanks man! It's a fun little car. Just too much wheel spin haha. Ordered a set of 255's today. Michelin PSSs. Should help out alot!

[ConR]

Couple of snaps with the new kicks. But will hopefully be replacing them soon haha. Decided there are too many white/black cars on the road.

[jono0309]

nah man that looks sick. Everyone has done the white/black cars but I reckon they are still good!
Those rims are mad. keep em.
