Thanks Lan

The installation went well yesterday. Unfortunately I was busy rushing around all day and night so couldn't get a recording of the sound.

First impressions were good. There wasn't any noticeable difference in sound on start up. But slowly creep away from a stand still and a nice deep note comes out

It progressively gets louder through the rev range but just before VTec the sound almost completely goes? Strange. Then Vtec engages and it's ok (a little fart can kind of sound) but it didn't blow me away.

I wanted the RM01A because I heard it was loud but it actually wasn't. And I wasn't blown away.

But anyway I'm happy overall which is the main thing.

Then something bad happened in Balmain. On the way home last night I went over a speed bump and heard what sounded like the header bottoming out

Then almost every second speed bump it felt like it was bottoming out

Checked this morning and yep it's been scraping.



Pic of the back. Not too exciting to look at :/

Shit go man.

Its going to end up wearing right through if you dont raise the car or put some sort of bashplate

Its the nature of that design hanging so low

[90LAN]

doesnt matter as stance is more cool than damaged header's

RM01A was pretty ordinary to me

[THE 2BSEEN]

Just need to find a spot to park it

Hmm yeah at the moment I'm just not driving it. Bash plate could be an option if I need to drive it as a daily again.

Heard the BC was really loud! Mine is loud enough for now but maybe one day, would love to race my car and a spec 2 would be awes for a race car.

[jdmek]

i got bc spec 3 and its loud ass!!

[AndreaCivic]

Haha shit thats mad! Get much attention from the po po?
I have never had any attention but Im thinking I may get some now.

PS LAN I haven't got any stance anyways so I'm resigned to being uncool.

Uncool FTW
