I just realised I've been sending people to this thread to hear the old Tubi in action but the better videos are not directly linked here so thought I'd add a few of the favourites

It would sound even more awesome between 2 seven storey buildings when cold!

While looking at the MRC Facebook page I thought I'd take a look back to see if my dyno run was still on there. Yes it was and it still sounds mental, take a listen especially about 1min onwards (notice it nearly knock the camera over at about 50 secs).

Just as a little update, I've been really busy at work but still managed to do a few bits.

Main one was I had to fit a new windscreen after a lorry threw a stone up and cracked it. Took a while to get approval for an Audi supplied one and then get right one fitted (after the guy turned up with a non-OEM screen and tried to fit it).
Also fitted a new petrol cap as the rubber stringy thing had snapped on the old one. That was a doddle to do.

And my front grille badge was looking a bit grubby so I bought a brand new one and fitted that, which looked much better.

And on Tuesday I had guy I know come round and give the car a good clean and clay bar, followed by a bit of polishing etc and general bodywork tidy up. I haven't seen it in the daylight yet but it was looking nice and shiney and feeling really smooth, but now with the crap weather it's started to look grubby already.
Close up the front is still riddled with stone chips and will need a repaint me thinks, there are so many chips it almost looks white when you get close.
