Yes it is, not too many E9x in Oz as there are in the US or Europe.
Don’t mean to thread steal, but you said its a bit quiet so here’s my 2c worth.
I agree on the NRW valve covers, they are a nice bit of kit. My std ones leak so I got the NRW ones too in std grey.
Other upgrades (future proofing items) I have all the parts for ready to be fitted to my ride, except as noted are:
- NRW valve covers c/w billet spark plug tubes and full gasket kit including bolt grommets etc
- NRW S65 silicon throttle body kit
- RebuildUK throttle actuators
- Mporium front under tray, similar to the CMP one you have
- Mporium vanos covers inc fitting kit with OEM stretch bolts and gaskets (these are the bolt on type not clip on ones)
- H&R springs (already on the car)
- Rod bearings (already done)
My ride has a Corsa exhaust on it (was on it when I bought it) I still have stock exhaust that also came with the car. Happy with the Corsa, no drone and not too loud unless you give it some stick, but there are better ones out there, all comes down to $ you want to spend, I’m happy with it, better than stock hehe.
You may want to consider, and I highly recommend going by the quality, getting the NRW spark plug tubes and the Mporium vanos covers, you may as well do all of that if your in there anyway fitting the SC. I’m assuming you will have a nice cheaper than new, used, locally available Eventuri plenum and intake for sale when you fit the Harrop SC? Hehe.
Good build, keep us Aussies updated on the progress, not too many Aussie builds.
Cheers
