~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 I suspect many of you have........ I removed it today ( cos I might sell it but to fund a bigger turbo but that's another story)..........have gone for a rip after removing the Turbo XS RFL I now have the following ( human) symptoms :- the car does not sound as good and does not give me the usual " horn" the exhaust feels quieter as a weird side effect ( it wont be quieter but does feel as though it does changin' gear feels a tad dull now in summary, the car feels more restrained it does feel just as fast though but noise wise has lost the edge. My dillema is now whether the whack it back on pronto..............or sell it after waiting to see how much I miss the sound. This thread is not intended to be a pro's n' cons of DV's as we all now the score there. I now Spooks did this and Rosie was gutted. Incidentally, my fiance Natalie is now in a cream puff as she loves the sound Anyone else been i this situation ? Cheers Cal p.s I will miss scaring the general public !
gus the bus Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 Havent got one myself Cal but if yer misses ( future[]) loves it fire it back on[] Gus
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted May 6, 2006 Author Posted May 6, 2006 Hmmmmmmm.................this piccy waits posting on Ebay should I opt to punt it First time heard one of these was @ the Alford track on JAC's car and it sounded immense. Nae interested in any chav comments - these DO sound immense at full pelt and even when lifting off lightly.... CGS
RA Dunk Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 keep it for now (uninstalled) if you get used to the car with out it whack it on ebay , if ya dont just put it back on the car
TSL 333 Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 I refitted by re-circ standard one on my classic as I found it a litle 'bumpy/ jumpy.' They do sound good though!!!
ANDYJDMSTI Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 changed mine back to standard, did not miss the noise as i got an induction kit which in my eyes/ ears gives a better sound []
Guest Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 andy, thats when you can hear it - with that exhaust of yours[]
billyboy Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 I had a HKS SQV on my Terzo and got fed up listening to it. Oh how i wish i still had that car it was a cracker.Subaru wont fix our rattles by the way!!! W----ers. Billy
WUZ Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 Cal - is this the reason you called Angela? Email me an dlet me know what you need M8! Russell......................in Singapore and loving it[6]
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted May 8, 2006 Author Posted May 8, 2006 Hey Rusky, I thought I could catch you before you left but failed miserably ! Was wrestling with the IC last night until I remembered your cup of hot water trick for 10 minutes []. Hope the travelling was not too bad ! So the DV is back on []...........I liked the refinement but it felt too tame. Having sat behind Jools en route to Aviemore for an hour was torture. His Turbo XS was clearly audible despite his monster exhaust. So thanks for the input folks. I quite fancy an induction kit but i understand that may not bring huge benefits to my car in it's current state of tune. I also believe I would ideally need remapped again for air flow scaling etc if I installed a induction kit. Cheers Cal
st3ph3n Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 Cal if you do some searching you'll find I'd asked about induction (specifically an APS CAI) and was told my target of 300bhp would be fed just fine thanks very much with the standard airbox and a decent panel filter. So your deductions are indeed spot on. They really are a helpful bunch round here.
WUZ Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 So your deductions are indeed spot on. They really are a helpful bunch round here. Glad Cal's deductions are spot on. I might as well grab my coat and leave eh Cal?[] Russell
fai17 Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 changed mine back to standard, did not miss the noise as i got an induction kit which in my eyes/ ears gives a better sound [] Same here m8
st3ph3n Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Glad Cal's deductions are spot on. I might as well grab my coat and leave eh Cal?[] Russell Grab your coat but leave the car and the tools Wuz. I'll be needing them []
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted May 9, 2006 Author Posted May 9, 2006 Yes I do believe I stored that piece of info from the bearded one himself. I fancy a CAI for the noise alone though. Wilky's used to sound immense on one of our border runs last year Rgds Calum
