If they don't, could I have them for my Mk2.5 please?
What have you done to your car today?

I got someone else to fit a BMW performance exhaust
Sounds much deeper now and louder depending on how you're driving. Still not crazy loud probably could do with a performance intake at some point, as windows still need to be down to fully experience it..
Is that on an E9X 6 cylinder? They sound lovely, certainly worth the 500 quid or so.

Figure it out between yourselves and then I'll bring em to the next meet we go to or something.
It's an E87 130i that I have but yeah N52 engine
The car divides opinions when it comes to looks but cause it's well maintained always attracts attention
or that's what I like to think

It will sound better after a few k miles. Shame you can't hear it so well in the cabin. At least the other motorists can hear you when WOT above 4k rpm.

Added some more free performance.

From experience, thats going to be a buzzy little thing. Even just folding the seats flat used to drastically increase road noise Whats happening with it nowadays?

Novelty will soon wear off

Its not the first car I've done this to. I've been driving it with no back seats or boot floor/parcel shelf for months. Just went one step further haha.
Yes I think the novelty may wear off! It sounds like the boot is open when I'm driving along.
Nothing has happened with it recently, but I've bought some new wheels and tyres, and it will be getting an upper rear brace and coilovers. And I still need to fit my semi-baffled sump (modifed 1ZZ sump) - Then I might try out some track days.

Yeah that's what I've read.. although there is some more drone at high gear low speeds for example when you accelerate.
I think a performance intake would complete the job off nicely.. but again not cheap!

After an ignition coil on my TT decided to go pop when pulling out of a dangerous junction (luckily I wasn't relying on its quickness to get me going and had waited for a decent gap), I fitted 4 new plugs and 4 new coils.
All good now until the next thing falls off it. I swear this is the least reliable/most expensive car I've owned and I've only had it 4 months (exhaust broke, rear wheel bearing failed and now the coils & plugs).
I'm excitedly waiting for the clutch to go, turbo to grenade or the gearbox selector fork pin failure to crop up next.
Still, I like the car so for now it stays.
That's pretty rough, mk2?
My clutch is getting tired, not looking forward to that job

There was no hard shoulder otherwise I would have.
Anyway, bought some T-Sport Compressor 17" alloys for the Corolla, they came with one Pirelli PZero Nero so I bought a part worn one to match it (didn't want to waste it and I wanted matched pairs
Coilovers next to replace the stock shocks with lowering springs.
thought youre actively trying to swap it for an mx5?
