edit: i read the subtitle. anyways. i was wondering if lift kicks in more smoothly with this system or more violent? let us know asap :D

i replaced the filter for the vvtli oil control valve at the same time, so lift seems like it engages a lot smoother than it did before anyway (placebo much??). whether this is because of the exhaust or the filter replacement, i'm not sure.

i had the mild steel 2.5 resonator back exhaust before with a straight through muffler, and that thing used to scream in lift so loud it was crazy. in contrast the ces system is quieter and more tame, but has a deeper note that sounds much more meaty.

but there is a noticeable increase in grunt :D

That's my line!

But he is right, Project Sportivo 2.0 is coming along nicely

[juvenile]

WOW your new bits are beautiful, quality plus

I was looking at OZ, I only discovered these last week so not sure if you knew about them.They were released on the new Fiat 500 Abarth and from what I understand they are now available but the problem for me is they are only 17x7 and 4 stud only,my loss :(

OZ LEGGENDA

Wow nice wheels and seats,very tasty...need to see this at a meet,when she is ready of course.

[lateralus]

cheers guys!

wheels are now on, with the new RE002's in 215/45R17 - very grippy :)

had to raise the ride height by 10mm all round as it was scrubbing majorly. it now only scrubs on sharp or major bumps, and i'm not willing to go any higher. otherwise, awesome!

well getting in and out of them is a bit of an art, which i've now mastered, lol :P

but yeah, otherwise they are very comfy. they do sit slightly lower than stock, and go a little further back

[clifton]

Looks awesome! how grippy are the tyres aye

[Seby123]

sorry that ive got a few questions about the seats, i was thinking of getting recaros at some stage :D so are the seats still adjustable in terms of distance from the steering wheel? lean adjustable?

Yes you can move the seat back and forth, just get the right rails. Yes you can recline the seats, just get recliner recaros. SR2 SR3 SR4 and others.

[itsmehuey]

looking bloody sweet as with the new wheels buddy! excellent choice!

[dwee.]

Love it! Come to the meets more often bro! :P

[eviltwin]

Very nice , silver on black is one of those colour combinations!

[Kenshin X]

oh my.... those recaros wouldnt have a ciggie burn on the drivers seat wouldnt it?

[lateralus]

thanks guys!

oh my.... those recaros wouldnt have a ciggie burn on the drivers seat wouldnt it?

no haha

yeah, it does unfortunately in between the seat cushion and side bolster. it's so small though, you probably wouldn't notice it unless you were specifically looking for it. they're otherwise mint so i'm not fussed :D

[1stKill]

Really nice mate,congrats

as Evil said silver & black combo works well,and the red on the wheels is a nice touch.

[Kenshin X]

i shotgun them seats when u sell them in the future!

[V3N0M]

Fun to drive?
