Hey guys,

As my holiday is now over the spending money on the rolla starts here, although I did buy my a typhoon kit in November. So going to start a build thread and add to it as i go along.

Car as standard:

Then the typhoon :D

Then on Saturday had my tints installed. I would of liked the fronts a bit darker but better than having them ripped off buy the old bill

Next on the list is the exhaust. Im having one custom made by a company called pro-speed in cardiff. So saving up for that now but i should be getting it done mid march, but something is in the post to replace whats on the car at the mo, willl post pics as soon as it arrives. Big thanks to ckman for helping me out aswell :thumbsup:

nice mate, as said before it looks great in the grey colour ;)

can i ask what % the tints are front and back, thats exactly the look i want, same as you i dont want to draw much attention to the front tints coz of the rozzers, if theyre fairly light smoke i could blag em as factory standard :D

Not to sure of the percentage dude. But the place i went to he had samples on the wall, so check any installers by you they should have samples. There were 5 all together the last was a limo tint and the bottom was lighter shade than my front 1s. I would have thort my fronts are around 40% and back around 70% mayb.

I got a 2.5" sports cat on my Rolla, but being a SR i dont feel any major performance increase, but i can feel the engine pulling a bit more freely...

... the fact i have a diesel probably underlines why there isnt much in performance gain!

ckman is the best person to ask as he has it fitted but also has the manifold so he has that on top. When i get my system done ill be able to tell you as i wont be getting a manifold till later on as im getting one custom made due to it being cheaper that the trd exhaust or are there any other manifolds out there???

The thing with ckman is there were a lot of mods at the same time, if you get yours on the dyno before and after the exhaust change we will be able to see what gains you got, fancy being the guinea pig :g:

Best hav a dyno run bfor u hav the exhaust fitted, that something i regret for not doing. After having the exhaust done and typhoon fitted my car is only producing 193bhp, but it depends on wot dynos u use. I tried out 2 different dynos, one is a Dyno Dynamics which shows that my car has 194bhp and the 2nd is a TAT Dyno which showed my car is producing 193bhp.

As for the different in performance, after fitting the exhaust system the car feels more responsive and feels a little bit faster, but i hav a feeling that cud b just the sound of the exhaust being louder :lol:
