007 The Sequel: Drive Another Day

It's Official !!

I have once again returned to the Aston Martin family's after a 2+ year hiatus. Numerous exotics, multiple Lambos and more but the itch was just too great to ignore.

After 5 mintues of being in my Aston ... It felt like home all over again. Yes its nowhere near as fast as any of my other exotics, and yet I could not care less.

Some VERY big plans over the coming weeks, going to be doing lots of mods quite quickly and I will try to do my best to document them all as I always do. Trying a lot of new mods that have not been before and going about things totally different this time around to improve many of its inefficiencies.

Amazing things to come ... ,

Congrats. 08 or 07? I have all of the exhaust mods you can do (headers, cats, muffler, filters) as well as brakes. Love to hear what else you are planning.

07, super low miles 1 owner car, 6spd. Full maintenance records and everything... Literally the perfect used car, it even came with all 3 keys and 2 transponders. Definitely the best used car I have ever bought in my lifetime smells like it just rolled out of the showroom floor.

I can assure you nobody has done these mods and documented them, trying someting out of the box. Wouldn't be surprised if the gains are 70hp (not including headers!). It was for this reason why I opted for the 4.3L instead of the newer 4.7L, I like the challenge of maxing out a certain platform, and I still felt like there was "unfinished business" from leaving my last Aston so quickly.

Good things to come

The color is Meteorite silver. Of all the grey colors it's by far my most favorite, and it's also one of the more rare colors. Most of the grey astons are Tungsten (still a great color). Tungsten has a bit more bronze in it, where as Meteorite is a pure graphite and looks very close to liquid mercury. In direct sunlight Meteorite silver does amazing things.


I just setup appointment to do the V2 custom dyno tune two weeks from now, looking to unlock another 10-15hp out of the existing V1 tune I did last time with a lot more midrange power. It should be one hell of a tune once it's done, nothing else will come close.

I'd be very interested in increased HP, Torque and remap of the A/FRatio from just the Dyno--Tune, before any other mods.
