TURBOXR I miss her... Donating Members 703 Member For: 19y 6m 26d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 18/06/07 05:16 AM Share Posted 18/06/07 05:16 AM Hi allPicked up the car from HPF today having been away for the last 6 months. It also spent a few weeks at kewish auto and got the full strengthining treatment with a modded converter.HPF fitted a difillipro dump pipe and cat ( I already have the herrod quad exhaust), fitted slotted rotors and bendix ultimate brake pads on my stockies, and fitted a custom airbox setup. also fitted a whiteline 27mm front sway bar.After a retune ended up with 303.7rwkw.The auto setup is f*cking unbelievable. Used to break traction in second... now it smokes. even chirps into third. Am definatly going to have to get wider tyres on the rear.Also the induction noise is awesome with the new airbox. And the swaybar makes a massive difference, hardly any body roll into corners at all. I am out of practice with the BA after not driving her for a while so ill have to take it easy. I must say it feels like a much more refined and overall stronger car.Only very minor problem is I think that fitting the new cat has made my exhaust tips sit a bit further out of the rear bar. Ive always hated the herrod setup for that reason and it looks much worse now. Ive been looking for an exuse to get some 3inch quad tips fitted anyway, so im going to my local exhast shops to have the rear mufflers cut off and some new shinier bigger ones put on.cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
