Blackline Performance Parts Thread

Back again.

After the madness of Dubshed was over us we had a car in the workshop that you all might recognise.....

This lovely F355, previously owned by @BarryPort if I remember correctly, was brought to us for a Capristo sports exhaust upgrade.

Absolutely wonderful car and peak 90s awesome machine!

You'll have to take my word for it but the new exhaust sounds fantastic and with the controller it can be quiet at the touch of a button for early morning starts (don't want to wake the curtain twitchers )

How nice is this green Mini Cooper S JCW?

We fitted a lovely GPF / OPF back Remus exhaust on it with the sound controller so it can sound much better when you want it to and quieter than stock when you need it, all at the touch of a button.

We also had this crazy Cresta in for an alignment. Always nice to have a big boosted 6 cylinder in the workshop.

We had this tasty MK1 Octavia vRS in last week for a few more mods.

To date we have fitted a Jetex stainless cat back exhaust, RamAir intake, Forge Split-R dump valve, H&R lowering springs, a Whiteline rear anti-roll bar, a TT front strut brace and Celtic Tuning stage 1 engine software.

You all know I love these and this one is really clean! Makes me miss my old red one.

What exhaust options do you have for a 2021 F56 JCW lci?

What exhaust options do you have for a 2021 F56 JCW lci?

We can get Milltek or Remus for that one Mark.

Milltek offer turbo back options if you wanted but Remus only do an "axle back" system.

Send me a PM if you want any prices.

Cheers,

Aaron

Another Mini in last week, this time a normal F56 Cooper S.

We fitted H&R lowering springs, Eibach 15mm spacers, full genuine JCW brake upgrade, Milltek GPF back exhaust and an Eventuri intake with the lovely carbon bonnet scoop.

Really nice car this and one brand I'm starting to get a real soft spot for.

A proper car with a proper engine in last week for some MTC Motorsport downpipes and Celtic Tuning software.
Excuse my rudimentary editing of the background..

Before

During

After

Serious increase in noise and performance with this beast sitting at over 700hp now!

Coming back soon for some lowering springs.

 

[Blackline]

Another JDM hero in yesterday for some simple mods. The mighty Evo VI!

An HKS cat back system, MTEC front drilled and grooved discs, a Pioneer double din headunit and an alarm system all supplied and fitted in house.

Amazingly this car still had its standard exhaust fitted when it arrived!

A very clean example and one I'd be happy owning myself.

Forum member @browne174 left his lovely S14 in with us recently to diagnose and fix an exhaust blow out.

Originally suspecting just a blown gasket we unfortunately found a large crack in the turbo elbow and given the rest of the system was a bit of a mismatch with welds everywhere he sensibly opted to replace the entire lot.

We supplied and fitted a JapSpeed turbo elbow, downpipe, flexi de-cat and then an HKS cat back system.

Now sounding much much better and suits the car perfectly. Super clean example and a real credit to the owner.

 

[Boydie]

That is super clean underneath!

 

[Rigger]

Feck! I've seen howitzers with smaller bores! Jesting aside, looks great!

 

[browne174]

Top job as usual guys.

Always knew the old system wasn't in great shape and after seeing it on the lift, it was a no brainer to throw it in the bin.

The backbox is rather more substantial than I would have liked but that's the joys of jdm aftermarket performance parts

 

[Blackline]

A tidy FK2 Civic Type R we had in recently for a whole host of Forge Motorsport goodies and some Celtic Tuning software.

Now pushing out around 350hp!

 

[Blackline]

Had this tidy S6 in for a Milltek exhaust a few weeks back.

Being a ValveSonic system it still works with the factory settings so you can make it quiet when/if you want to

We also had this crazy Cresta in for an alignment. Always nice to have a big boosted 6 cylinder in the workshop.

Pretty sure this car resides up the road from me in Dundonald - came up behind it last week, never seen it before or knew about them

 

[Blackline]

Had the Ferrari 355 back in for a brake upgrade recently...

...such a lovely car and a lovely set of AP Racing brakes to go on it.

We had them refinished in gloss black by Nu Luk Wheels before fitting them to car to keep with the subtle supercar style it has.

 

[Blackline]

A couple of cool JZX100s we had in recently;

The Chaser was in for some fresh BC Coilovers to replace the very worn out coilovers that were fitted by a previous owner and also an HKs Turbo Timer.

The MKII came in for some Meister-R coilovers to be fitted and a full alignment of course.

Both cars sitting and driving much nicer now.

 

[Blackline]

We supplied and fitted a nice little GPF back Milltek exhaust to this Polo GTI recently.

I'm a big fan of these and with a little tuning they are brilliant fun!

 

[Blackline]

Had Marks new purchase in a couple of weeks ago for a resonator delete.

Great difference in noise for very little outlay. A great option for anyone with a MK7 platform car not wanting to go to the expense of adding a full system.

He does.

Been a while since I updated this

Had this lovely S5 in for a Milltek de-cat downpipe, CTS Turbo intake and Celtic Tuning engine & gearbox software to suit.

And whilst we had it we also fitted some H&R lowering springs and did a 4 wheel alignment too.

We also had this immense C8 RS6 in recently for similar treatment with the fitting of Milltek de-cat downpipes and Celtic Tuning engine & gearbox software...

Seriously impressive motor with over 700hp after we finished with it!

That’s some job there May I ask if it was a case of just swapping the original back section with the capristo one, or are any other mods required eg to the headers or anything else? Am thinking of getting it done but don’t want to mess with anything that’s directly connected to the engine!

No mods needed, just a bolt-on system for the rear so easily put back to stock if needed.

We had this Porsche 718 in last month to have some carbon bits fitted along with a FabSpeed exhaust.

We also had this lovely GT86 in to get a Fujitsubo exhaust fitted. Very high quality exhaust and bolted up perfectly.
