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

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!

thats HOT :P are the recaros comfortable for everyday driving? is the seating position lower than stock?

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

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.

thanks guys!

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

no whistling.gif 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
