cipprio Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 New 3 price clutch kit fitted ready for Prescott school day. Good job as the old clutch was totally knackered.Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipprio Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Just had the tracking done by fcm motorsport in Bristol. What a very experienced and professional company. The car feels and drives fantastic now. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeman558 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Fitted these today They are utter shite. Advertised as being a quality product... Well they are a shiny product, if that's what the U.S. definition of quality is. Anyway, after cutting away massive lumps of molding flash so bulbs will fit in them, they are in. I now I am waiting on some amber bulbs to replace the reversing one and wire up some LED strips to use as reversing lights. Run out of Bullet connectors... and daylight. And, I am not sure if I don't prefer my tinted pre-face lift tail lights Photos to be added tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iqofafish Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) Having had a SRI setup for a few years, thought I'd see about looking into reducing the heat soak and did this It's the pipe from the original airbox, with a joiner extn that came with the SRI kit. Just sits a few inches above the plastic under tray. Now whether it's even worthwhile or not is open to suggestion, but I thought I'd just give it a go. edit. Thinking about it, I reckon the bottom of the pipe will need an angle so it's pointing towards the front of the car. I have a spare SRI tube that I can cut to size for the very job.

iqofafish Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Removed the SRI and decided to give the de-butterfly stock airbox a go for a few days, just because I've never done it more than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed any difference? I wanted to go the SRI route just for appearance but the one I mistakenly bought had very vague (and according to sources here and other places, partially incorrect) instructions. Still looking at the Injen one. Added the new shiny bits I got off ebay. Lots of little bits of neo chrome because... well... reasons.

Still looking at the Injen one. I bought my SRI purely for noise, knew there'd be a slight drop in performance but the noise balanced that see-saw out for me. Have I noticed a difference? Well i've now changed the mods on my insurance to say the SRI's gone and I'm back to the OEM box with the butterfly removed and a K&N panel filter. I just found that set up was best of both worlds. I also tried putting the butterfly back, but I found that not as responsive and I missed the noise. I'm a 48 year old kid . I also found lift to be slightly better with the butterfly removed too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably pick one up at castle coombe then fit the lotus cover, pop in the rivets and collars I have had for 2 years. Can't rush these things Baz!

Did the SRI have much effect on your insurance? I'm holding off doing anything else that might affect my insurance as I am expecting a nasty speeding ticket any day now after a triggering a camera last Thursday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomb Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Way nicer paint job on those plastics than mine. I'm looking at trying a cracked effect on my other (decent) set.. Which is likely going to leave me contacting AMS to get another, yet, set after I ruin them [emoji4] If you would rather a carbon fibre (not dipped weave) L piece I will have mine up for grabs shortly, will need a some cleaning etc thoughSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
