Today I fitted the JIC Cross full Titanium Rear Box. It is incredibly light. Weighted both oem and Cross. OEM Backbox was 25.5.kg and Cross was 7.6 kg !!! A saving of almost 18kgs !! WOW ! It looks slightly boy racer with burned tips but they are mostly hidden from the diffuser too.
It sounds slightly bassier than oem but starts to shriek as rpms go but of course it is inaudible once the airbox kicks in ! I don't know if its me but I felt a slight improve on performance. Maybe from the wieght savings or maybe from the system. Overall very happy with it ! JIC Magic Cross Ti Exhaust, Look at the size difference compared to OEM crate ! And here it is on the car, I will try to upload a video when I can.. |

Very nice brakes !
A question though. Your suspension is the KW clubsport right ? Why the helper spring is down and not up ? From the factory they come with the helper spring up, just under the top mount. |

We switched the springs for shorter ones to be able to fit my track wheels without spacer but somehow in all that russ my mechanic accidentaly left the helper at the bottom and forgot to pull it up before putting in the new spring. He said it wouldn't make any difference when we found out so we didn't fix it and so far so good. What do you think ? Would it affect the handling etc. ? |
