I thought i would leave it a week before posting my experiences of the latest mods to my CV8.
Went down to Monkfish last Saturday and had the Wortec CAT back exhaust and remap. The guys (Roger & Andy) at Monkfish did a great job, and they know alot about these cars and work with great enthusiasm. The job took a few hours and I was on my way back to the frozen north.
The car sounds much more V8ty (if you know what I mean)a nice deep rumble at low speeds and downright angry when loaded above 3k revs,:evil:
With the remap you can feel the difference in throttle response :smokin: (as others have reported).
I have even noticed a 2 mpg improvement in fuel consumption at high motorway speeds.
To top it off I had the plastic engine cover replaced so it now looks like an engine.
When I can find the time the guys are going to fit me a Ripshifter, (will report on this later). If you havnt driven a car with one fitted you dont know what you are missing.
Anyway to say I am pleased is an understatement, :D thanks Paul (Wortec) Andy & Roger (Monkfish), I will see you soon for the next installment.

around £500 or so.
I am in Staffordshire so the nearest people to me who could fit the exhaust ripshifter etc are Monkfish. My understanding is that there are only 2 main dealers and Monkfish (independent)who work with Wortec.
There are other TV listing magazines on sale.... oops sorry wrong disclaimer

Thanks for the positive replies guys!
Gotta admit the distance is a real pain! Im right out of it up here! (oh well makes even me more exclusive!)
But yes, id certainly like to try a ripshifter sometime! Ive heard so much good about them im almost sure i need this mod.... well, that suspension & brakes would be perfect!
Hmmm and heres me thinking all i wanted was a monaro with a big exhaust only a few months ago!
