Hi.

I got 418 at the wheels. I don't have headers yet, main thing is the H&S exhaust.

When I do add headers, I will be running hi-flow replacement cat's in the PPE midpipes I bought from a guy on here. Like you, I need to pass UK MOT, which includes a visual check for the cat, and a sniff test for the emissions.

I've already had the secondary cats removed. These are not monitored like the primaries that are part of the OEM headers.

From my discussions with Rafi, the RR-Racing tune should work on UKDM's. I'd expect your ecu will be just as tuneable using the handheld tool that is going to be released really soon.

Let me know if you have any other questions mate. Happy to help a fellow European 'F'er!

 

Small update.

Thanks to a mate of mine, gauges now fit the pod!



Hoping to get the rest of it installed on Friday.

 

Eveyerthing is coming along great man

and 418 whp with just an exhaust is awesome , I'm guessing temps play a big role in achieving that.

What is it like over there now 10c or so?

 

Thanks.

Pretty much! Think the high for this Friday was 8 degrees centigrade! Lol.

Just need it to be dry though. Hoping to get the seats and gauges all fitted and working.

Got Friday off work, so gives me three days (two at most according to the wife! ) to get it done. Should be possible if I don't run into too many unexpected problems!

 

So gauges and pod are finally in, and look pretty good considering.

Massive thanks to my mate Rob for his perseverance getting them to fit. Was a pig of a job, but he did me proud.

We managed to run the sensor wires through the bulkhead into the engine bay as well. They are now coiled up waiting for the T piece I ordered for my Oil Pressure/Oil Temp sensors to go on.

Should be a bit more straightforward finishing things off once that arrives.







Really pleased with how it turned out though. A lot nicer looking that the stuck on style you see so often these days!

 

I'm always waiting for your impression of the X-pipe, how it sounds now
And pictures of the installed passenger seat

 

Also waiting for x pipe videos!! Dyno results too maybe. Everyone in the US is waiting on you Pete!

Initial albeit brief impression of the X pipe is I personally like it. The drone has completely gone as Ian mentioned in the post he sent to Josh.

It has quietened the system down somewhat (not as gruff), but I think the sound now is nicer. Butt dyno also senses better acceleration/willingness to go than before. I'll try and get it back on the dyno when I can, but keep in mind I now have a 2 week deadline to try and get the car done for my photoshoot for Banzai magazine!



I will try and do some videos and get the car on the dyno, but I need to get the seats and gauges finished before my photoshoot for the magazine. Once that has been done, I can focus more on helping you guys out with the exhaust side of things.

It's typical that everything is happening all at once!

I will do what I can though guys, just need to be patient (which I know none of you are! Lol).

 

So been a productive day for the F.

Gauges are wired up, just need to fit the sensors, and it will be fully operational.

Passenger seat is all done.











Just need the bolt for the drivers side seatbelt, and I'm done!

No PCS or airbag lights either!

 

WOW. Those are some nice looking seats!!!!!!!

 

Thank you sir!

I'm really pleased with them.

Love the blue stitching, works really well.

Those carbon backs are pretty sweet as well. You guys know how much I love a good bit of carbon!

 

Awesome seats man, they look great

You know seeing your build has made me think of buying the ISF of the company and shipping it to the UK as a hobby car or weekend race car.

The only problem is it's left Hand drive.

Now do you think it'll get too difficult/awekward driving a left hand drive car in the UK?

 

Thank you.

No, don't see LHD being a problem here. The American servicemen and women drive their LHD's in the UK, plus, it's actually better for track work I'm told.

You should go for it mate, think it'll work fine.

 

Awesome, thanks for the reassurance man really appreciate it.

I guess I just have to get it MOT'd which will probably mean installing Cats on my exhaust as it's currently cat-less. shouldn't be a problem. Thanks once again

 

Dang Pete!! Good job!
