Never mind the wheels, are you any closer to getting an exhaust and getting this baby tuned so you can drive it properly.

Yes.
Exhaust is getting made tomorrow at LM Fabs in Bicester. I'm leaving the car with them, and collecting it Tuesday afternoon, when I will then go to EHM and get the tune. So by Tuesday night (fingers crossed) I will be enjoying Vtec. But my gearbox is anoying me so I'm not going to feel that inclined to drive it about. I'm a pissed off with it after spending nearly £500 and it crunches and is whining a bit.

Nope. Bicester is half hour from Daz so makes it easier to tie it all in, in one day. Also I was more impressed with their work than S-F, and they seem to have more passion and drive for what they do. Alan didn't really ask what I wanted and how I wanted it, it was just going to be another job to him, or thats the impression I got.

It sounds like it's breathing a lot better now. I do seem to have a whistle around 2000-3000rpm....?

Good job Marc, looks great and im sure it works well too.
Bay looks spot on, not sure why but the rad hose really stands out to me and love it.

Looks like a good filter system? Notice any difference in throttle response??

Yes, its an ITG filter. Definately noticed better response, but as the car isn't mapped yet so it's hard to say.

Is that next on the list I take it! You gonna get a custom map or a generic one?

It will be custom, of course. I should of had it done already, but as I have a 3" system Daz had to put a generic base map on, for the moment. I am getting a road tune done on Tuesday hopefully, after the exhaust is done.
