TechNick's Twin Turbo R8
Re: TechNick's R8 TT
Looking a bit of a mess at the moment
Re: TechNick's R8 TT
What are you replacing it with? I’m toying with a replacement for my next thing to do.

Keeping the RNS-E itself (it's one of the newer generation ones, only fitted about a year ago)... for the time-being at least...FrazerD wrote:What are you replacing it with? I’m toying with a replacement for my next thing to do.

The reason I'd striped it down was to remove the iPod adapter and reinstate the CD changer.
Whilst it was out, I installed a Bluetooth music streaming adapter which, unlike the iPod unit, works in conjunction with the CD player.

I also took the opportunity to install my shiny new knob!
(The old one did put up quite a fight though!)
...during a quick test drive (to check everything still worked OK... as you do) I think I confused a Carrera 4S driver a bit

Looks great although I’m not really clued up on these, what have you changed?

Took the opportunity to tidy it up, cosmetically, including repairing where the metal gauze/mesh was starting to come away from one of the side trims, and refurbishing that gauze on both sides at the same time (colour-coding it to match the rest of the engine bay - going from the standard silver to black). Even colour-coded the fixing screws
Obviously, the BOVs and charge cooler aren't OEM either, but the bits above are what I meant by the most recent minor cosmetic changes.

Needs more flames, though

What be gotten out of the BYH without stronger internals?
No matter where you go, there you are.
