lol i bet you do :norty:

Mine's a JDM MY98 Wagon (280ps) in Mica Blue.

Pretty standard to look at, apart from crystal lights up front and STi clusters at the rear.

Oh, and a bright red Santa Cruz (old skateboard brand) sticker in the rear window. It's strange how we spend so much on our cars, yet that sticker gets more attention than anything else.

So, anyone else from Kent want to show their faces?

What do you drive? I work in Maidstone, so spend half my life queueing along Royal Engineers Way :(

I would be drawn to the Medway Tunnel (might be something to do with the toxic waste they built St Mary's Island on) if I didn't have a pea-shooter for an exhaust.

Hi gents, I bought my car in January from a lovely young lady who lived in Gravesend. Just wondered if any of you recognise the car? Black bugeye, view the scoob.

Sorry, just wanted to be a part of this to! That blackwall tunnel is pretty good, would be now I have the Blitz on. Its awesome!!

See ya gents

Flib 08 September 2008 09:36 PM

thats a mighty nice bugeye you`ve got there mike. looks great all in black!

Fat Boi Mike 09 September 2008 07:19 PM

Cheers there young Flib, was well pleased when I got it, a seriously paranoid owner hence the biggest list of servicing you have ever seen. Cambelt change at 35k!? Nice..

Thanks pal.

Oh and what do you think to the lightened flywheel? Which weight did you go for? Im thinking of doing the clutch and flywheel but have some doubts..

Flib 09 September 2008 07:52 PM

The flywheel was already on the car when i bought it, it had just had a engine rebuild at API and they were fitted at the same time, dont know what weight it is but i`m guessing its just a slighty skimmed standard one as it dosnt feel much different to my old RA, and the exedy clutch is just as light as a standard one

Andy

Our flywheels weight around 7 Kg's which is 3.7 Kg's down from one version and 5.2 from the other. The difference is most noticeable when you are the regular driver of the car and have it uprated then. You would notice the better spool up most when not concentrating and just suddenly decide to go for a gap, without preparing for it.

Then it is quite noticeable, but I do agree, unless you have the before and after there is no way to compare.

Good Luck David APi

Flib 11 September 2008 06:46 PM

s1lko 12 September 2008 11:15 AM

I'll have to let others provide the exhaust note - I'll supply the bass :eek:

20withascooby 12 September 2008 11:17 AM

s1lko 12 September 2008 11:46 AM

Stock twin peashooter!

Although I'm considerin a TSL Group N. Most of my miles are spent on the M2 or Bluebell Hill, so don't really want anything that will drone.

20withascooby 12 September 2008 12:06 PM

get a nur spec r m8 there not too loud

s1lko 12 September 2008 12:17 PM

I could just get a recording of one and play it through my stereo on a constant loop.

Or maybe not...

Nay not me. I actually work for the old Bill, as a CSI :thumb:

Fat Boi Mike 13 September 2008 03:00 AM

Well gents, I have just swapped my TSL Group N backbox for a Blitz Nur Spec.

The TSL was spot on, lovely burble to it, but not so intrusive as to annoy. The Blitz is louder when the revs are low, but once they pick up, its not much different to the TSL, and quieter when the bung is in.

Ill sell the TSL cheap as chips if your interested s1lko.. or anyone else, any questions please ask.

Love the new Blitz, cant recommend it enough if you like it deep and aggressive. No rude coments please..
