I spent a few hours this morning washing, pain prepping, waxing and detailing my VRX

Hard work paid off... WOOF! :twisted:

Reason iam running 10 & 8 is iam lowered and to maintain that lowered look ive increased the rates and back down the compression/rebound rate and not bottom out or scrub and iam running 18x9 with 245/40 r18.
And to be honest i prefer it to be stiff rather then bouncy bouncy shit which annoys the crap out of me. Drives like its on rails now

I went for a cruise to data log my RA to see if there is any knocks after installing a AMS Boost Pill and reflashing the ecu.

On my way back home, A guy driving an SS wagon tried to leave mebut needless to say he failed. Im surprised my RA kept up with his SS. His SS was blowing smoke already and my RA is still had more to give but I backed off.

Im like a kid with a new toy again.

Feels like a whole new beast doesn't it? I'm getting knock sum of 1 and 2s at low load 60 and rpm 1200-2000rpm, which i think can be ignored... according to merlin's guide.. if i'm reading correctly. :roll:

Well yesterday.. visited HiTech to get the mid pipe done and 4-2-1 extractors installed. I just said make mine like Sam's and they did lol.

Sounds much better and of course the work and service was fantastic.

Installed some Crystal Vision headlights and parkers too.

Lambros from HiTech contacted me on Friday and asked if I knew who you were & wheather I knew you as a CCJ member.
But I was obviously unaware of your exhaust intentions and/or your appointment at HiTech.

I'm glad your pleased with the exhaust work they provided you, however I doubt it's exactly like mine, I've had many extensive re-development alterations made to my entire exhaust.

Although you should be very pleased with the quality & sound of what they have done for you ....

Post-Up some nice pics if you don't mind Phil.

Yeah it is different, mentioned you regarding the placement of things and similar components as it was easier for me to explain it that way since I am no expert.

Thanks for posting up all the info on your various exhaust modifications, made it really easy to decide what I wanted - and I'm sure it's helped others as well.

Most importantly the wife likes it. Had fun in the tunnels on the way home too! Will see what I can do about the photo's. Just need a tune now, next month...
