Rear-view mirror covers will be next I think.
Still deciding between gloss black vs carbon fiber.

Currently I'm leaning towards gloss black.any thoughts??

 

[Magneto]

Car looks sexy. A suggestion would be to give you rear-view mirrors a carbon black look to match the boot spoiler.

Wow! She's looking great!

How much was the schnitzer suspension if I may ask?

Springs only?

 

[Muzhar H]

Cost me R5400 excluding fitment.Yes it's a bit more than Eibach or H&R but it's motorplan approved!Small price to pay for peace of mind...

Yes its springs only.It's designed to work with the stock dampers!

And the ride quality is great compared to stock m-sport suspension.ride is much more comfortable now.but this is also due to the non-rft tyres I'm running now...:rollsmile:

Thanks man

I got the rims via revo@rennzport at Rennzport.Had the wheels custom powder coated and this meant more waiting time.it took almost 2 months for the rims to land.but that gave me time to research my suspension options:rollsmile:

Had no problems from customs afaik:fencelook:

I'm in!!i can't wait:joy:

It's been a while...so let's get to it...

So I've finally come around to strapping her down onto the rollers to find out how much she's pushing out...

and these were the results
230 wKw
445 nm

So now that I have a stock figure, I'm pretty keen to find out what the increase will be after getting the Jb4 fitted.This will be done in the next week or two.

Haha sorry bro, my bad!!only after a couple days did I notice the first graph was upside down!so I decided to repost it properly this time!:hammerhead:

Regarding the jb4, well Rennzport tried a jb4 install on my n55, but for some reason my t-map sensor is different to harness A or harness B!!weird I know(think I've got a Frankenstein 135 lol:rollsmile

So we couldn't get the jb4 to work with my car, so I've decided to go the flash route instead and get me a Cobb!
I should be getting it next week, and I will do a dyno run soon afterward and post up the results.

After that i think a DP and intake will be next.and possibly a chargepipe if the stock pipe can't handle the added pressure:ty:

hey Johnny135i any updates on this beaut..

Since you insist, I will update my progress :rollsmile:

Just as a matter of interest , I've only made 2 changes but wow, have they been big ones!namely a carbon fiber rear diffuser (thanks to Hussain from forum sponsor Prominetix, a big thumbs up to their great service).
I did the install myself, was fairly easy, took me about 20/30mins.

Next up was the big one, a well deserved increase in power.:=):
I was gonna go with the jb4 initially, but then decided to go for the Cobb AccessPort flash instead partly due to ease of use.Other reasons will be discussed later...:rollsmile:
I got the Cobb AccessPort via the CapeTown Rennzport team.Thanks again to Revo and Twinz @ Rennzport.

Pics and a brief review of the Cobb flash tune will be uploaded shortly (I currently have no decent pics of the diffuser either)

So I found some random iPhone pics for now...
