Love what you've done so far car is looking really good!

[NeX]

DONT FIT IT!!!! use my used rear bumper splitter first and keep that one new

looks good tho does that mean the jan speed is canceled?

 

[joesouthgate]

i'm not fitting it for a while yet. Yer I phoned up and cancelled the Janspeed, which I'm well within my right to do seeing as they've taken so blooming long!!!

 

[NeX]

haha fair enough

just need the front one and the arches and the side spats

 

[joesouthgate]

grr just spent the last 3 hours trying to get the down pipe off, grr need the decat pipe before i can fit the new exhaust cause the bolts are well and truely screwed on the down pipe side of the cat, and pretty good on the other side! And i sheered one of the bolts on the downpipe to mani connection so I have 1 bolt holding it together now, strangely enough its not leaking

 

[Robert]

You have a spare rear lip going Nex?!

 

[Simonh]

doenst make much difference mate, its the cat in the mani that does most of the work and thats going when the custom manifold goes on!

 

[joesouthgate]

Just started de-bumpstripping my car:
So far got one side pretty much done.

The amount of mess those toffee wheels make :

 

[joesouthgate]

Finished doing the other side too now, you can still see a line around them but I'll sort that out some other time:

Really annoying cause it seams that the passenger rear quarter has been resprayed at some point so I took a bit of paint off when I removed the gunk grr Oh well, matches the stone chips and scrape (bought like it)

 

[curtis]

Fitted new Flip-Key central locking:

Is that your key? How much was that kit and where was it from?

 

[b47to]

[joesouthgate]

from ebay, search eraser wheel.

 

[joesouthgate]

Heatwrapped my new manifold, bloody mission that was cause the pipes are quite close to eachother!

 

[NeX]

looks very neatly done

 

[frank]

the mummy,s hand
it,s a shame to cover up, what would polish up like chrome tho imo

 

[joesouthgate]

yer it would have looked nice but I'd rather have the extra performance and less temperature in the engine bay really.

 

[joesouthgate]

Also heatwrapped part of the down pipe aswell, wasnt that bothered about it just wanted to use up what I had left:

 

[joesouthgate]

And a pic of it assembled:

Might go and fit it now :devil:

 

[solarice]

looking good, will be nice to hear what it sounds like

 

[frank]

i bet it does,nt rasp like the janspeed,s .
and it wont rust away like mine did :suspect:

 

[curtis]

i bet it does,nt rasp like the janspeed,s .
and it wont rust away like mine did :suspect:

He has a longlife exhuast system like me Mine is the best rasp ever

 

[frank]

MM,s gone quiet eh, i bet he,s trying to get at those 2 inaccessible nut,s on the head flange

 

[solarice]

lol, if he is, he'll have no knuckle skin left for a bit (been there, done that)...ive got a special homemade super mini spanner for fitting my manifold. Lets wait and see if he'll need one aswell.

 

[jim_bling]

lol i wanted that mani like cant wait for the noise of it want rid of my rasp noise come on then modded have you got it on then we need an update

 

[Robb]

I agree

 

[joesouthgate]

Lol i went quiet cause after fitting it I realised I was 50mins later for aniversary dinner :doh:
Well its fitted, sheered one of the studs grr :doh: So i'll have to sort that sometime. Anyway it sounds absoloutely awesome, I can barely hear myself think Still got a rasp but i've not heard a janspeed so got nothing to comepare to unfortunaetly!

 

[solarice]

modded heres my bros old car with the Janspeed on (not the best but kinda gives you a Janspeed rasp) : CLICKY

sound anything roughly like that?

 

[joesouthgate]

Girlfriend's mac wont let me play that grr I'll probably do a recording tomorrow if i get time.

NeX may have heard a janspeed and be able to give comparison as he came in car straight after i fitted it!

 

[solarice]

when it asks you to save, rename it as an .avi macs can play those cant they?

either that or we can try a group mind thought call thing to get Nex's attention. :laugh:

 

[joesouthgate]

tryed re-naming it still didnt work grr will try at home tomorrow if i have time before i go to matt humpries

 

[solarice]

ah its probs the divx codec...no worries. I'll wait for a sound clip

what you buying from matts?
