I bought some, they won't work on my car either with or without resistors? They light up connected to a battery but not on the car.

I got in Roy's Coupe yesterday and looked at the odometer, it has done 100,000 more miles than mine but, the way it drives, you would never know. It drives like new car. Testament to @Lee working his magic.

Same with mine mate, that trip up to keilder was my first proper drive since all the work and it felt like a new car. Really happy with how it is.... and it's getting a blood transfusion next weekend

Quite like the idea of the side mounted reg. 5 digit plate is a must to pull it off. Got short plates on the rear too? Would like to see a side shot of the reg holder on the front.

Looks like you crashed into a Anne summer lol!

the manifold makes the induction sound even more - really sounds good in car. Would lie to hear it from outside.

did you do the ECU as well? Give it a good 40-60 miles to adapt and run properly.

M50 manifold DONE. Also added a Ramair filter and a diy heat shield.
The sound is the huge difference on the short blast along the road and back. I'll get a video tomorrow.

Before:View attachment 145891

After:View attachment 145893

Purple hose matches the interior and calipers haha.
Nice job Davey, to be honest the induction noise is for the driver. The big Ramair I put on my car sounds awesome so I'm not that bothered what it sounds like at the back.=))

I'm sending mine off next week. Should I let the ecu adapt now or just send it off before I've driven it?

I'll somehow try and get a video from outside

I don’t think it would make any difference.
