LOL, I hope so :biggrin3:

Luckily, I've moved out of London and now live on the outskirts of a small town (I'm the very first house, right on the edge) and neighbours are not so close. My nearest neighbour has a bike with an aftermarket exhaust and likes warming it up at night, should be able to give him a run for his money now!

I'm sure Doug doesn't mind me saying here, but it is approx £148 for the rad plus half hour labour (£34) plus VAT. This is of course only valid if the bumper is already off as it will be for the cold air feed. If you are having it done as a standalone job then the labour will be more (I think he said about 1.5 to 1.75 hours).

The rest of the mods kinda just fell in place; I wanted to keep original exhaust whole and not cut in half, this meant getting the centre section and h pipes done at the same time. If I'm having that done I may as well dump the pre cat. If I dump the pre cat I need a remap. If I'm having the remap done I might as well do the cold air feed that I was going to have done later. If I'm having the bumper off for the cold air feed. Might as well have my leaky near side rad replaced. The important thing is that all of this can be done on the same day so doesn't delay me getting my noisy monster exhaust back. Carbon clean would have meant an overnight job and all I really want right now is my exhaust fitted.
Yeah make more sense now you put it like that

Hah yeah me too, why not hey!! Was considering GTR Black Edition but what with the extra cost, depreciation, makes more sense to stick with what I worked my arse off for to buy 4 years ago and just make it better !! :FIREdevil:

Yes I am quite looking to forward to the results from the work. Having owned the car for nearly four years I suppose your not really going to notice the drop in ps year to year with
the carbon building up as it does. Still feels quick to me and like a new to every time I push that start button

I am actually just looking back at my topic post inital statement and laughing now as this is what I am having done:

Carbon Clean..........Remap Stage 2..........Fit Cold Air Feed..........Gut Precats..........Full Milltek Catback Non Res Valved Black Tips..........Stage 1 Manifold........

High Flow Filter..........KW V3 Coilovers..........H & R Arbs..........also considering brake upgrade but just awaiting thoughts on this from Doug MRC
...........

.......well that didnt take much considering did it hah!! Just confirmed extra work this week as follows:

Brakes..Brembo Performace Friction 380mm upgrade kit..........Performace Friction fast Road Pads..........Upgraded Front Braided Brake Lines..........Racing DOT Brake Fluid

..........Stock Brembo Calipers Colour Match Painted to Missano Red Bodywork with Decalls..........

Now have I missed anything.............. :thumb:
