No idea, but I also had a new Charge pipe with a rigid coupling to replace the soft rubber one at the FMIC end.

Hey, if you are based in England, that would mean our cars are both Euro spec. I am having my PPK installed and should be able to pick it up tmr. I read that you also have Forged FMIC installed. That happens to be the next performance mod i have in mind. Have u been able to verify any gains from the FMIC? How is the fitment?

Interesting. Anyone got the specs on these? I wonder if they're running a cooler plug? |

I got back my car fitted with the PPK. My service advisor warned me that the car is very torquey. When i drove the car out of the service center, i was surprised by how much torque is available when moving off from idle. Seems like they have indeed sharpened up the throttle response tremendously! I have yet to give it WOT due to traffic consideration, but will give it a proper shake down later. So far, the improved response alone is worth the money in my book Will be ordering the FMIC soon...

Does everyone that has a stock auto 135 feel that the 1st gear take-off is a little sluggish in D mode? Im pretty sure that that is a part of the gas-saving features of the regular Driving mode of this auto tranny, hence also when your at a stop and switch over to manual and it automatically starts you at 2nd gear.

Ok, again a lil off topic. WHERE can i find aluminum pedals for my 10' 135 that FIT??
I just tried these //M aluminum pedals I got from someone on here, thinkin that each pedal have a rubber cover that pulled off n then the bare pedal underneath would have drill holes to match the alum. pedals...well no such luck, the brake pedal is solid steel under the rubber cover, and the accel pedal doesnt even have a cover, just a one-piece rubber pedal. Im sure as hell not drilling holes to match these pedals into the solid pedals I have now, so are there any alum. pedals anyone sells that either slip over these or stick..i dunno. Kinda ticked cuz i was thinkin since I got the m sport package n all, that the car would come with all alum pedals, whereas I got just a half alum. dead pedal, thats it Sucks cuz i was REALLY lookin forward to gettin these installed.. |

I bought some off ebay, pretty sure they are the same but I'm not very impressed with the quality. Also, I didn't know the brake pedal was solid metal!! No luck drilling through it, not really keen to either |

I just dont wanna hafta DRILL thru anything down there. The only way I could see it happening would be if someone manufactured THIN rubber covers for the pedals that had drill holes on the outter corners going just past the actual pedal, so once put on, a set of aftermarket pedals could then be drilled on and stay put without having to actually drill THRU the stock pedals...anyone?? And has anyone found a way to remove the accel pedal or find out if the accel pedal actually has a cover too? Cuz i know it doesnt have the same kind as the brake pedal does |
