What's the difference like Phil?

How much for the lot, if you don't mind me asking ;)

couldnt really test them much BUT when i did on the icy surface they responded very well, no fade, and much better stopping distance, o and price a snip at £128 + postage ;) well worth it,gotta wait until the weather clears up before i can give the final verdict.

i did think about it, but i like the break up of the red as im going for the black and red theme, springs are next and then wheels refurbed probably in black with a red lip painted and a cat back miltek, also a new stereo which is wheel control compatible

go whole hog with decat mate...if you need swaying you can listen to mine!

also stereo controls are easy if you need help just holla

may have to take you up on that lol, i like performance with a small noise (just more than i have now)

I have my eye on a nice double dinn system with sat nav, says its wheel control compatible so will have call upon your expertise if it aint straight forward :cartman:

yeah i had just the cat-back...and made a slight increase in noise, but hardly any different...

the downpipe makes a bigger difference, was getting around 22.5 psi out of the turbo...now getting around 24 psi...so more boost :)

and the noise is lovely over 3,000 rpm and when you drop down a little pigeon says hello haha

I'm up for this MK meet anyway, you still working in bedford

The full miltek system was appealing to me a jabba have free fitting on miltek which im very tempted by, first things first tho is definately a drop and a new tyre then decided whats next got a bonus coming and im going to blow it on something car related lol

Unfortunately im not in bedford any more, i left my old job 4 mnths ago and started new one in peterborough, im still around bedford fairly often however for drinks mainly lol

i had a clear vision of still being able to see the whole wheel

ive sourced an eibach pro kit set for £70 and i collect them next week gives around a 30mm drop which will be good

i think thats a good deal all in all, just gotta get them fitted asap lol

Those brakes look awesome, i would like a pair of those :)

I'm seriously considering an exhaust system, now you've mentioned about the free fitting of Milltek at Jabba i'm very tempted :) not sure on the Milltek oval exhaust tip though, it looks quite big in peoples pics.

Keep up the good work matey and all being well i'll catch up with you in a couple of weeks :D

as andy said the twin exit looks great you might see a couple of pics on my mates montune fezza, that has a miltek twin and looks and sounds great

the brakes are awesome and im still only using standard pads and discs, if you shop around you will get a great deal and well worth it.

I'll be at the meet, im getting an early train outta london to make sure im there, be good to finally put some names to faces

Go for the Milltek Twin Exit! it looks Oem but slightly bigger

gotta agree with that, the oval looks too much like an areshole for my tastes :cartman:
