Guys in the UK have been removing the entire innards of heated and cooled seats and transplanting them (wiring and all) into other seats, and it's been working. It means you'd need to sacrifice your seats. but it is doable. I'm hoping that a good re-trimming shop would be able to do it for me.

:crazy: I still blame the Whipple tune for my issues!

That looks awesome in White! Make sure you take the bonnet insulation off ASAP if it’s still on, as it marks the painted ones as it rubs a teenie bit in two specific places.

This is a pre-facelift with a Cobra Sport Axle Back and a Mishimoto H-pipe. Great rumble and no rasp for me. 98dB on a track day (now 102/103 with a supercharger fitted).

Yeah, standard clutch. Had 30k unknown miles before I bought the car, and has had 9k harder miles (including one and teeny bit track days) since I bought the car. Will be replacing with the GT101 recommended beefier setup. Just needing to organise when. Apparently it was slipping on the dyno...

Still Whipple Stage 2. Once you’ve done it you can’t go back! Dyno’d at 725bhp and 566lbft of torque.

Yeah, that's the one. New engine seems really healthy (according to the dyno at least)!

My car is back, with a couple of souvenirs. Nice to have it back, and as suggested by the garage, a new clutch is needed as there's a bit of slip now.

I got mine on AliExpress. I didn't go to so much trouble fitting. I didn't go through the trunk, I just ran the wires (wrapped and cable tied) down from the number plate light, around the bumper and to the side markers, before then snipping the side marker wires and connecting. I think it took...

Bolts are the same on both pre- and post-facelift based on the Vlands I have. WD, mine are off the car and in the garage as I have Vlands. If someone hasn't beaten me to it by 7:30pm I'll do some measuring!

It’s 0V when car is turned off 12V when car is turned on and engine off 12V when car is turned on and engine on

I'm in the UK and it was £850 for shipping alone for a short block, before taxes etc.!

With the UK weather (rain) and the image issues (boy racers) it makes the effort worth it.

Surely it's cheating with your climate? On another note, is this thread the place to ask about "what's on DFBs floor?" Not sure if you've answered elsewhere, but does your floor drain somewhere? Is it resin/sealed underneath?

I'm getting tempted to get an eBay hood and add RaceLouvers to it and just use it on track, then keep my current one for driving around. Best of both worlds and it's <£400 + paint for a decent looking eBay hood.

You can get textured paint in car shops that is used for repairs on that. You'll often need to finish up with a Back to Black product or similar around the whole car to get it to match (after a little natural fading has occurred).

That's on my to-buy list. Going to go all in and mount it on the wall with a decent long hose reel. Saw it first at Obsessed Garage but their accessory kits are mental. I'm not sure I need 20 nozzles for the gun. Going to combine it with a 14l water softener tank and have it all hooked up with...

1) Gyeon 2) Auto Finesse CarPro I've had some of their products I love, but others I've just not got on with. It's a little bit of marketing with Auto Finesse that has got me. The owner goes on the same track days as me, and they always do demos and are around to chat to (and give out some...

The Stage 2 is so much fun. One thing to check though is the clearance with that bonnet. The Whipple does sit a bit higher than the engine cover.

I don't, although this was at the end of the second lap (and it's a short one) so I'm not expecting it to be too hot as it was <20 celsius. When I get the car back I'll check the footage from the cam and see if I can spot anything.
