Hi all, new owner of 2000 db7 volante 6 speed and love it. I see there were a group of performance parts available some years ago, but not too much that I can find available now. Any suggestions?

Chiltern Aston are a heritage dealer who specialise in DB7s. They will know what is available today.

If you want to prevent a burst cooling hose - possible as they will be 20 years old - you can upgrade to silicon. ACT Products supply a set of 7 hoses with stainless clamps for £169.50 + vat. Tim, the owner, has a DB7 i6.

If you use Facebook then join the Aston Martin DB7 Appreciation Society where you will get a lot of free help.

Bamford Rose has high-lift cams , inlet manifold; high flow cats and ECU update to add another 100bhp more or less to the engine. 'Mike said ,''it will make the DB7 a weapon'', Which i plan to do to my Volante after the CCP virus gone.

So when you have wasted £000s of pounds getting all this extra power what are you going to use it on. Maybe save a few fractions of a second to get to 70mph.

Thank you very much for the links. I joined the facebook group and there is some great info there.
I have tinkered with everything I have owned and sadly this will be no different. It by no means is meant to be the fastest car I own, but a little more oomph never hurt anyone.

Does anyone know if there is any other option for the exhaust than the Quicksilver one? Is there an X-pipe option?

Call Tim at ACT Products in the link above. They specialise in exhausts.

Well said MarkwG; looks like Prattking is the one in right lane driving slow.

Has anyone done the B Rose mods? I am interested in making our 2002 6 speed coupe as close to the DB7 Gt as possible.

Secondly, I have called them, left messages, e mailed them, several times, with zero response.

Thanks very much, Dan in Naples Florida USA
