Thanks for your thoughts Max and Robert , I will bow to your knowledge as I was under the impression that the modern blowers were not loud and screamy, unlike the old school blowers that stuck up through the Bonnet that were . :thumb: :thumb:

I don't know about modern blowers (the last time I drove a Merc with a "kompressor" and no intercooler, it was a very distant whine), but an Eaton M45 isn't that new (my old project car dates back to 2006), and there are two reasons it sounds like a banshee: one it has a new cold air intake with an additional intake right behind the firewall (which acts like a sound channel) and two, the poor little thing is spinning up so fast with a reduced pulley that it overboosts on occasion...

I need to go and test drive one of those supercharged V6 Jag F types.
 
I've had a few Golf Rallyes and they make one hell of a howl, especially when you replace the pulley for something much smaller !

The little G40 used make a demonic howl as well,
 
Thanks Phil

Harsh but fair.

Re the GT3 vs GT4, having spent a fair bit of time in both the GT4 is a nicer road car and still great on track. I love GT4s.
Having said that, from a nerdy point of view the I'd have to choose the GT3 for the motorsport engine. GT4, sounds good and goes well but it's just the Carrera engine.
 
Anyway.

I fitted my new tail lamps today. Keeping it genuine (stop laughing) & non LED.



Decided to go on another road trip today. Just to test them.....of course.

Went for a fancy pants lunch on one of the restored forts 1 mile out to sea in the Solent.



Incredible experience and great access to a historic building. Free to roam in the wall gaps called the bolt hole. Right up my street.

Beautifully restored & great staff. Photo from inside the lighthouse.



Highly recommend for a random day out.

EBay. £££ bargain.
 
oh wow. Well done.

I did consider returning back to oem and either keeping them as is or doing red laminex or something similar, however i fear it would look pants so either oem or all red oems.

I am kinda done with the led jobbies ( came with the car along with oems )
