peter/freekymac - is one of you around on Sunday? I'd like to hear the QS in person if possible???
 
Hi Peter,

For the list I'm Sam "Kett" Hosdon and have paid up for the standard version.

Note for ColinG: I've just had the first 2-year service on the V6 today which came to...
... a bargain £164.44.
Okay the car's only done 9k, so that may be why. At Porsche, in the same scenario they'd treat the visit as 24k and change break fluids and plugs and I wouldn't see much change out of a grand!
Mind you, I wasn't impressed with the "bucket of grimey water" Renault threw over the car for my complementary car wash. Additionally Porsche's service manager would have come over for a chat too, but Renault don't seem to get the idea of cosseting their premium customers.

Hope you enjoy the back box. :twisted:

I am around Reading on Saturday but I will be seeing the parents in Sussex on Sunday. I'm also meeting up with some of the sussex based v6'ers! :D

Happy to take people for a "spin" :wink: if they are around!

Peter :D
 
Sorry guys but I am off to Le Mans this weekend. I have the "restrained version" not the OMG......this, I truely believe, would be too loud and make the car a little too taxing to drive a long way. Don't forget the back box is at least 1/3 less bulky than the std therefore the resonances are going to be a lot louder. (see pics) Spoke to Scott and he agrees that a next worthwhile mod is a custom (not off the shelf) remap, as NA engines with increased in flow and outlfow of air could well do with mixture adjustments to increase efficinecy and performance.

That's the next group buy idea! :wink:

Where abouts in Sussex, and what sort of time?
 
Would the standard ECU benefit from a reset to relearn the new exhuast (and if applicable, IK)? Obviously I realise this is no remap!!

Burgess hill (sits between crawley and Brighton on the A23) not sure about time yet

The time for our quick meet in (West) Sussex will be some time in the afternoon. Dunno any more detail yet.
Peter :D

Mind if I pop along and hear this QS system for myself, before the group buy ends next week?
 
Any more sound clips/pics for the likes of me who can't get across from Norn iron...? Any more reviews or is it still just Ant and Peter who have had theirs fitted?
 
I will do a run tonight before the pub. I'll get an "in car" a "drive by" and "from behind" (ooh err missus! :lol: ). Vids will be recorded Friday night. I will post them up on Putfile on Staurday.

Your going to LOVE it! :wink: I do! :twisted:

Peter :D
