Project Black 6

[lewisdmz]

Been quite busy in the last month or so;

Went to Longlife Plymouth and got a stainless cat-back system fitted with a 3" inward rolled tip. Went for the mild sport option as i've heard mid sport is a bit too much. Service was good, was in there for about 2 1/2 hrs i think which is longer than they quoted but I didn't mind the wait, rather that than a rushed job.

First impressions weren't good, it was horrendously loud and boomy no matter how carefully I drove. Before taking it straight back I read around and a few people seemed to think it would quieten down after a while. So i stuck with it and it did gradually get better, probably done about 1,500 miles on it now and it's almost perfect. Nice burble on tickover, quiet when driving around town and still sounds lovely when you boot it. My only gripe is it's a bit boomy at 70mph.

The tailpipe wasn't quite sitting straight so i rang up and they booked me in the next day to get it sorted, it was only a couple of inches out but it really bugged me. All in all great customer service.

I also replaced the k&n heatsoaker with the standard airbox with green cotton filter. It seems noticeably more torquey/smoother when cruising around town but this could of course be due to the new filter.

hmm green.

Next job was to replace the manky fog lights. I thought about just replacing them with crystals but then every 306 has foglights so it's nice to be a bit different.

Old


Anyway this is pretty much how it stands now, just don't look at the wheels if you have a cleaning complex.

Only taken on my crappy phone up on Dartmoor. On the way a women in a car i came up behind gave me the finger for no reason, I hate tail gaiters and normally try to overtake people with as much respect as possible...she got the full throttle and a polite wave out the window





Next plans are to fit my new headunit, I get fed up with burning new CD's all the time so wanted something with a front USB port.



Plan is to use this for the tuunage, gonna be flyy.


8gb!

Next on the list is Bilstein B8's but they are going to take some time, the missus keeps reminding me I need to save for our holiday...
