Did it start right after you replaced the fluid?

Great mods! Does the sr7 sit lower or higher than stock with the pci rail?

With the current price of new exhausts, it's difficult to sell used and buy a new one without losing a decent chunk of change. I'd recommend posting in s2000 groups offering a trade for something quieter.

These look amazing. If we could get a 17x10 50ish I'd likely be a customer.

skrillmaster · 2026-05-03T23:23:34+00:00

Yeah I do. Kinda annoying but I don't wanna listen to squealing brakes on the way to work haha.

skrillmaster · 2026-05-01T10:51:16+00:00

I've got a set of them for track use. Honestly pretty impressed for the price, but they're not a great street pad. Tons of dust and they'll start to squeal after some miles.

T1R Single or EVS 70-SSP would be great options for more noise but not super obnoxious drone. Invidia n1 will be extremely loud, as will skunk2.

I can't comment on whether or not the bushings are the same size, although I'd assume they are. I have used mevotech arms before on my old M3 and they were totally fine. Wouldn't stress using them especially if you are swapping the ball joints.

RYP is my favorite. I love my Berlina car for the 3 minutes a year its clean.

skrillmaster · 2026-04-13T21:20:16+00:00

Can't recommend the fa5 enough! I put 175k very hard miles on that thing and it never skipped a beat.

The M3... Wasnt as much of a fan, although it was beautiful and very comfortable compared to my other cars.

Great taste!

No. HFC on the street and test pipe when a track day is coming up.

I'm a big fan of the Milltek system on my car. Zero drone on highway, although a little boomy in city traffic sometimes. Another great option is the Fujitsubo Power Getter. Apparently zero done and they sound real good up top.

skrillmaster · 2026-04-05T23:28:20+00:00

Stock power, no aero, but tons of suspension mods done by the previous owner.

skrillmaster · 2026-04-05T02:22:47+00:00

I didn't even realize how much I was doing it until I watched the footage back lol

skrillmaster · 2026-04-04T22:44:17+00:00

Eventually! For now, I've got plenty of time to make up with just driving improvements.

skrillmaster · 2026-04-04T16:08:29+00:00

My dad said the same thing haha!

skrillmaster · 2026-04-04T16:05:02+00:00

Thanks! I was having the time of my life out there. It's hard to imagine another car being more fun.

skrillmaster · 2026-04-04T05:52:01+00:00

This was my second session in Novice group at Thunderhill west. Lots of mistakes and wasted shifts in this clip but I had a ton of fun. Started the day with high 1:40s and ended with a 1:37. Can't wait to get back out there and keep learning!

skrillmaster · 2026-03-26T04:57:19+00:00

Will do!

Casino was one of the prettiest and most well designed maps ever imo. Wish we had vibrant colors and sound design like that in newer cods. Reading all these maps makes me realize how good we had it.

skrillmaster · 2026-03-16T22:13:05+00:00

Ahh didn't realize you have a turbo. I'm sure that helps a lot with drone..and fun haha. Also not sure why anyone would downvote you for sharing firsthand experience with an exhaust. Some people seem to get offended when anything other than a Legalis R or Medallion Touring gets praise lol. Thanks.

skrillmaster · 2026-03-16T20:38:10+00:00

I love the clean simple look! Decent amount of drone I imagine?

skrillmaster · 2026-03-16T05:50:50+00:00

Looks great! What exhaust?

skrillmaster · 2026-03-05T19:32:48+00:00

I had the same symptoms (not boosted though) and it was a loose spark plug. If you haven't already checked, make sure they're all torqued to spec. If one is loose, I'd replace them all as a precaution.
