Fixed a loose front drop link to get rid of very annoying Knocking at slow speeds. Also tried out my Chipex kit. Not bad, seen worse results!

Yesterday my alloys were delivered to Bespoke Performance so I went to pick them up then went straight to Formula One to get them fitted with thanks to Bespoke for transporting them there for me. Chuffed to bits!! Next on the list is the Cat back. Modifications are intoxicating!!! :cheers:

Ok so started looking in to my boot project, went down crafts shop and ordered 8m's of purple suede for boot and interior, bu the problem hit when i went to install my old fusion system, my hatchback had a bigger boot do'h. So opened the box and immediatly saw the problem :(. The enclosure is perfectly designed for each sub as there both split with air channels and insulation inside so wanted the box in and to just add a cover to apply the suede. But as you can see

And amp fit perfectly for my plan in the hole

So more speed focused than show focused now, still gonna stick with the custom custom boot.

Forgive me if i'm incorrect but wouldn't that be around 130mph?

Fourth in my 192 takes me to around 100mph (give or take) :ninja:

4th gear beep in a 231 is around 120 mph...it would take a considerable amount of road to get up to the beep in 5th.....private road of course :wink:

Yes I beeped in 5th on a private road and you really don't need that much road if you're beeping through the gears.

Only beep in 2nd gear on the roads. Love getting up to speed on slip roads like that.
