Spider Sportivo

Yes finally received the pics of the frontpipes for me and Fabian!

Can't wait to mount them under the Spider

I see that Laco had modified the end, there's more length after the exhaust braid

[Joris 136]

Yes he left the pipes little longer for us, so we can cut them at the precieze length.

Thanks for the tip!

 

The pipes without the front flanges are for my car, they need to be adjusted because 12v headers are standing at another angle.

Today mounted the new steering!

 

Its smaller then original but its a lot bigger then the Raid steering i had...

Got to get used to it.

[charlee 314]

it's great! How much smaller is it? Not a lot I guess... 

[Joris 136]

No its still huge if you compare to Raid.

 

From bottom to top its now 35,5 and from side to side its 37 so 1,5 cm smaller.

Its a lot thicker then original, so that helps a lot.

[charlee 314]

The Raid was a bit too small for the 916 interior IMHO. This one is perfect!

[Joris 136]

Cleaned up the engine bay today!

New fresh reservoir for cooling liquid is coming next week straigth from Italy

Joris, the steering wheel is now perfect! That's it! 

 

Thumbs up for the engine bay too!

[Filip 124]

Looks great! You're meticulous to say the least 

[Thanos 193]

Perfecto! 

 

Maybe I am the only one who used to like the raid steering wheel?

But yeah.. this one is much better for the spider.

[charlee 314]

Maybe you are

[ToxyMaTT 49]

Love the steering wheel !!! Perfect !!!

[Joris 136]

Thanks!

[Joris 136]

Thanks Toshko!

Mounted the Bmc cda carbon intake today, unbelievable what a noise this gives! Haha

Maybe its to much and a little bit wrong... But i like it!

 

Sound clip asap!

[Paso 239]

Joris, what kind of filter is inside the BMC carbon box?

[Joris 136]

The inside is just an conic open air filter system.

It now sounds like this   :

Can only imagine how it will sound next week with the el frontpipes.

Yesterday changed the cooling liquid resservoir with my friend Chris with the Novitec Spider.

Not the nicest thing to do when engine is super hot...

[Joris 136]

After working on the cars at the millitary base garage we've shot some pics with the tanks!

[Alfaduden 226]

Your interior is just the best looking one I've ever have seen in a 916! Just beautiful and so well done!
Exhaust must be awesome. I really like the sound in the 3 liter engines. It is just so much more brutal! 

 

Waiting for the sound with EL. downpipe now!  

[Thanos 193]

Awesome photos as always.

The blue Spider looks great also!

 

P.S

anybody knows if the bmc cda will give this sound on a V6 TB?

[Paso 239]

Great photos and even better sound!

 

About the air filter, I was always a bit hesitant about performance filters because of notorious MAF (AFM) failures after such upgrades. There was a lot of talk that it has something to do with "wet" sort of filters (the oiled ones). As I see this is a dry one, right? I'll appreciate any first hand experience on this topic!

[charlee 314]

IIRC CDA is not dry, but I could be wrong. Had it almost 10 years ago 12V have different meters which are almost indestructible. 

 

Thanos, yes it would make a nice sound on the TB as well, but I'm afraid there is no room to fit it 3.0 V6 has a different airbox
