scutch0

just a basic one really, im gonna be fitting my roadrunner exhaust manifold next week hopefully, and basically, i just want a run down of any tricky things to look out for while fitting the mani. the main thing i want to know is: is the turbo mounted to anything other than the exhaust system? as i know the cat had its own brace that held it in place, as well as being bolted onto the turbo, and as i have a unbraced decat fitted, im wondering if im gonna need to support the exhaust system and turbo in any way while changing the mani over? any help or tips would be handy? i might try to do a

excellent. downforce and somewhere to eat your lunch! na, just joking mate... looks great, it'll defo suit the track ep.

i have mixed opinions, fitted to the cars theyre supposed to be fitted to i.e vw's audi's bmw's etc, they're great. the universal fit ones that you can fit on anything dont seem to last long or dont do a clean sweep. be hardcore, get tesco's own brand wipers like me! theyre awesome and only cost £2!

i used to be really into this, shame of the cancellation. i agree with you phil.

you can pick up a high mileage mazda mx3 1.8 v6 for that money! do it g!

which si you talking about mate? theres a few on this forum!

ooooh, looking good so far!

*best mr burns voice* EXCELLENT! *best mr burns voice* sounds good, cheers phil.

thats probably the one part of my old n/a i didnt fiddle with mate, jay might know?

thanks alot guys, got these today.

ok guys, lets start this again, lets have a run down of who's who and where you live, then we may get a meet going. i'll start: scutch0 (rich) broom, biggleswade, bedfordshire.

its painted with very high temperature exhaust paint, im told it should stay for a while, but it'll eventually come off! o well, better than rust.

err, ok hero's then! ;)

cheers dave and cheers jay. you are both starlet legends.

nah, still cant be bothered to clean it... especially with all this talk of snow tomorrow! the back is black, someone asked me why i have white front wheels and black rears yesterday! o well, i'll get pics up when/if its clean. quick update on the roadrunner manifold i purchased off paul... this was how i got it: and this is how it looks now: all i need are a full set of nuts and 4 turbo mounting studs. (i like replacing anything i take off) Rich.

i have heard the mentalist rumors about this build... cant wait to see it ready for jae 2008

134 on the speedo, but i think the speedo is out slightly. (private road)

cheers g. come on guys someone must be able to help me out, the sooner i have them, the sooner i can fit the mani!

track r's every day of the week.

anyone with a epc help me out?

i need the part numbers for the studs that stick out the bottom of the stock manifold to mount the turbo to. also i need the part numbers for a full set of nuts (that hold the exhaust manifold onto the head) needed asap. can any of you guys help? Rich.

if you figure out how to sort that let me know so i can turn my stereo down

na, cant be bothered with that. you got a part nuber mate? any idea on how much? i might check it with that sheekey bloke. where is it located mate?

repair completed. pics to follow when i clean it (if i can be bothered).
