A day at Simpson MS

[glendog74]

Took a day off to visit Simpson Motorsport again to have a few things done... ;)

My main reason for going was to have a new Supersprint Lightweight Racing rear silencer fitted and a dyno. Additionally, as most of my driving of late has been on track days i have had a set of Pagid RS29 pads fitted all round in place of the Ferrodo DS2500s that came with my AP BBK. I also treated the engine to an extra oil change to keep it in tip top form.

Needless to say i received the usual first class service from Julian, Anthony and team, and i also met AlexGTT again as he had popped in to put his 'other car' on the dyno! Some may also recognise a certain Britcar '316i' that was skulking around the garage :whistle: :hahaha:

Well how did you do on the Rolling Road :whistle:

Practically standard exhaust setup now mate so pretty standard power - Runs were between 355-364bhp. I'm happy - car sounds good too :thumbs:

I tried to upload those clips but my BT broadband kept cutting out last night :banghead:

[2bar boost]

Nice one Rob! The Miltek looked a nice system but must say SuperSprint sound so much better... Enjoy :thumbs:

Looks ace, the SS rear pipes look the best imho out of the proven options. :thumbs:

Do you have the SS cats and centre section?

Neither - i wanted the characteristic rasp back having missed it with the Milltek system!

My Milltek is going up for sale now :thumbs:

Glendog...Question...why did you take a pic of Engine oil...thats worse than train spotting..:whistle:

[glendog74]

Glendog...Question...why did you take a pic of Engine oil...thats worse than train spotting..:whistle:

I did it so that i could stick it on the oil thread - several members seem to not believe TWS oil is still available...!

[Andyk]

Are you suurrrree....you haven't got an oil fetish have you?

[danr55]

He's got many bloody fetishes, some a little worrying :hahaha: but i doubt even Rob has a fetish on engine oil Andy

[Andyk]

Well you never know....if it can lubricate an engine then I'm sure the possibilities are endless...

Well, it does kinda smell rather nice though i have no particular desire to rub it onto my 'Johnson'! :hahaha:

[glendog74]

It doesn't do the sound justice but here's a couple of clips:

[s.mac]

Are the links working ? says error for me...

[glendog74]

Work ok for me.

You can always click on the direct weblink at the top of the Youtube player window ;)

[s.mac]

working :thumbs:

The SS does sound well, but not as good as the roar :supz:

I miss the induction sound from inside the car with non standard cats, but from the outside you can still hear it, bit of a pain for my mate as I keep getting him to switch, on off on

Can you hear the induction still ?

[glendog74]

Can you hear the induction still ?

Yes - and the rasp is back too :thumbs:

[danr55]

sounds awesome!! :thumbs::thumbs:

want to know what it sounds like in the car too. loud/too loud etc? definitely imagining it sounds better than the milltek system though.

[glendog74]

I certainly prefer the SS sound to the Milltek - exhaust noise is a personal preference thing i suppose.

The SS is louder in some respects than the Milltek - but in a way that my ears like - if that makes sense! :whistle:

[s.mac]

if that makes sense! :whistle:

perfectly ;)

[danr55]

understood perfectly!:smokin:
