You just can't handle the truth (or the power)
Although it does need to go back for a check up after the injector change, complete Twintake replacement and new Revo file!

Another years insurance sorted via Sky! Renewal quote was ok but got a better quote from Greenlight which Sky then matched and also gave extra £20 rebate due to their price promise!
Biggest diff was post code change though...took £300 off!

I knew they would think the original back box might be too loud!
They've since made 2 other versions of the rear section - 2 small silencers or 2 bigger ones!
Question is shall I try to get the one with 2 small silencers?

That OEM one on the left, might even be my original exhaust!

3 years old next week, so had the MoT done this morning at local dealer before the SMT deal expires.
Passed with no issues.
Now the saving plan starts as I'm liking the look of this. The TTS owner approves so game on!

Nothing wrong with dreaming...

Anyway keep dreaming

Oh sorry!
Didnt find the AMG one. Haha i thought 211ps was just being to little for a sports car.
Then i would love to see the release info about that car. But as you say, i think we are in the dreamland

3 years and 17 pages of forum gold - time has come for this thread to end.
Car is now pretty much back to standard bar the Sachs clutch and H&Rs. Feels sooo different, sooo quiet and sedate. Feels like a stock TTS
Pipe and slippers motoring from now on for a while. R will be getting a final clean and wax then it's time to sell it either privately or via a trade in deal.
It has been an epic 3 years of motoring though.
Gonna miss this car.
