F1 SAG

[R11ysf]

Beautiful car and beautiful colour on the tunnel run yesterday.

What exhausts and cats is it running please? I was sitting behind it in my tuscan S and even on tickover I could have been in an electric car for all I heard of my car!

That's Mr. Lock Pick's car... sadly someone threw an egg at his car and he left early:

Chris's car is running clive f's mods with some other tweaks as I recall (I think - we spoke briefly about the mod last time we meet). Although to be honest, I would let him be for a bit. He was rightly rather annoyed yesterday and might appreciate some time to cool down, sort things out on his Sag before being asked questions.

I'm only guessing, but I know if that happened to me, I'd require a few days at least before I stopped wanting to kill things.

Shame to read that thread, it was such a great day (and that's coming from me and my car left on the back of an AA van off to Str8six for a new clutch!).

Well when I saw that Sag and took photos it looked stunning. Hopefully he can get it polished up and clayed out without having to resort to respraying it. The colour really makes you take notice, I think that has now taken over my favourite from Reflex Charcoal. Lovely

Heh, you haven't seen mine

Hi Rhys

Sorry for the late reply matey, but have been working flat out since Sunday. Glad you like the colour matey. For some reason I will have to agree with you that the F1 Green is a fantastic looking colour especially at night under a street light.

As far as the exhaust is concerned it's a long story. It's a combination of a bespoke system including manifolds, 100 cell race cats, equal lenght system etc,etc by a company called Chris Tullett. It then had the back box, which again is not a standard Sagaris back box, heavily modified by Clive Ford. I also have Clive's end cans which again give the whole car a much deeper sound, less rasp etc.

I also had the pleasure of witnessing Jason's new system on my friend's Sagaris last week at Str8six. The system sounds much deeper and meaningfull than original, I was very, very impressed.

But for those who know me I am a little too honest and way too fussy for my own good. I am fairly happy with my current set up but not 100% happy.

I keep dreaming of the sound system on my old T350c.

We have people like Clive Ford, Tim at ACT, Jason @ Str8six to thank for their on-going research and product development to thank, and the other of course.

However we speed six boys must realise that you will never get that typical V8 rumble, if that does float your boat. So the answer is to buy another TVR.

Glad to hear your car is sorted, very nice Tuscan if I may say so.

Your Sag sounds awesome, from those TiTT videos.

Out of interest, who is it that has fitted Jason's new system? My decat isn't enough... I'm looking for something extra...
