Many happy returns to you!!

All done bar the mot!!! Just needs a good polish on the wing and bonnet. http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k282/pw_...rletpics083.jpg http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k282/pw_...rletpics090.jpg http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k282/pw_...rletpics088.jpg Dirty buggered turbo! http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k282/pw_...rletpics086.jpg The whole cat should be a nice brown all the way down not the skanky oily mess thats on this one!

All i can see is the 2nd lowers the front more than back and first is opposite way round. The rears have different spring rates too,not much help i expect but all i can tell ya!

Hehe the wheels went on the day after i got them home! ;) They suit it better than i thought they would! I'll bung a few pics up tomorrow,i got a few lil bits and bobs to sort then it'll be sweet again,only thing it's gonna need for the ole mot is a bit of a clunk at the front which i think is an engine or gearbox mount. Bit above my head to diagnose it properly myself! But sayin that i'd never changed a mani,turbo or cat till a day or two ago

I've had it running today and i think it's water in the exhaust as theres no oily smell anymore,so a good blast down the motorway should sort that! ;) Next job MOT time

The £300 was for a cat back that i needed urgently for my mot from powerflow for my GT4,powerflow pissed me around trying to charge me for a full exhaust that was just a back box! But like i said in my earlier post there are other custom fabricators out there,i will never be using poweflop again.

Well i spent most of the day swappin the old mani/turbo/cat today. The turbo was proper bolloxed! Theres so much oil in the exhaust it sloshes around so gotta try an get all that out in the mornin,nice! Oh well got a turbo to get hybridised now! ;)

Who's had all the chuffin mints!!!!!!! ;) looks like bacon's not for the chop then??

1st or 3rd set for me.

Powerflow also tried to charge me £300 for a cat back exhaust that was nothing more than a backbox with 18" of stainless steel pipe attached! Rip off merchants!Stay away in my opinion,yes they can do custom exhausts but there are others out there. The remus box is £110 and it'll take you half an hour to fit it yourself. ;)

If they didn't fit your car they aint gonna fit any other starlets. ;) Can't you take em back to halfrauds for an exchange for the right offset/stud pattern?

Powerflow are a bit of a rip off in my opinion,£160+ just for a backbox.

Its not as good as you think with sound really. ;) quite funny though

Love the purple RX7!

It's a nasty smack aint it! Shame because it was such a laugh to drive with it's lil dump valve chirping away! They paid us £2750 then promptly drove it into the concrete blocks!

Was just browsing youtube and found this video of an ex's car i sold to 5th gear a couple of years ago. It's the black and white smart car.

And they're gonna show the lil accident richard had too!

My 280bhp GT4 or my old 250bhp skyline,both rather quick.

Bugger! I thought that'd keep folks busy for a few days!

Keep thinkin mikey boy!

Hehe

Hehe used to have one so that was easy!

Yeah that gets on my tits too,but what really annoys me is the numptys that leave their rear wiper on constantly! THERES NO NEED FOR IT TO BE ON ALL THE TIME!

YEY GO ME!!!!!!!!!! If it is one.

I thought the same,she's a very pretty girl with a healthy interest in cars which is a bonus!
