Dreamer90 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hello folks.I'm living in Coleraine up in the north coast of Northern Ireland. I drive an ep91 N/a and the mid section of the exhaust is starting to crack just before it joins the back box. Does anyone know off some one in my area that could repair it. Thanks for taken the time to read this Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dreamer90 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Ballymena - Powerflow/Carnoisseur.used them plenty, pretty good.Failing that, Jay has my old mid-section in his garage i think.Phil.Your a legend Phil. I've been reading a few mixed reviews about Powerflow/Carnoisseur on the RMS forum, so I dunno. I was hoping to get a flange put onto the exsisting back box section, then hopefully get a new section inserted into the old mid section if you know what I mean? Maybe get a straight through section made up that allows me to take my decat out then replace it when needed for an M.O.T. What do you think? Could they do a good job?Following your car profile on here has been great. I appreciate all the hard work you've put iin mate, thanks for posting What kind of manifold did you use on your car when it was a standard N/A?I been reading good reveiws for Dees in new abbey but are even further away for me to travel than Ballymena! I'm based in Coleraine. How do I get in touch with Jay? Is he near my neck of the woods?Sorry for the hundred questions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hey dude,I've never had any problems with Carnoissuer in Ballymena mate, and i've had them work at my exhaust a number of times and they've worked on 3 of our family cars.on my n/a, i used the stock manifold mate. never changed. Joz ran an uprated one, for N/A manifolds he is the man to talk to.Dees - f**k no, my best mate just spent £750 at Custom Pipes in Newtonabbey, its f**kin PRO, an the guy said he gets ALOT of business fixing dee's work. so no, stay away.Jay's username on here is Jaystar77, but no mate he is in Portavogie, opposite end of the country to u man but worth the trip if he has what u need.thanks for the kind words dude, anymore questions just shoot, not many of us UKSC-NI lads so gotta look out for oneanother.Phil.

Dreamer90 Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hey PhilI managed to get a toyota repair kit fitted at ATS in Coleraine £70. Result! They cut the old section out from the back of the cat to the back box and replaced it with the said part. Sweet. Even managed to save the clamp which is seemly a toyota part. They checked ma brakes for free, which am glad they did as the boiling point is a bit low ! That i'll be getting done next. Good lads they whereThanks again man. Bye the way the guy at custom pipes said if I got stuck he could probably sort me out, fitting a stainless steel section for about £60. Thought that was good of him. He seemed like a real nice fellaHere phil? Gee me yer front tte splitter! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nanglebadger Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 can't complain about their work, bit pricier than i was expecting mind you. nice note to the car now.however, socks found a video of my car on youtube that they had taken, they had turned the car on, revved it to about 5k to hear the exhaust, nice white condensation coming out as it was obviously cold and then shut it off. i can only hope it wasn't taken for a drive. needless to say i rang them and told them to take the video the fuck down!!!! really really fucked me off as i wasn't asked could they put a video up, let alone take one, let alone rev the fuck out of my car!!!!!!!!!!!!i dont rev my car like that when its cold so i certainly dont expect other people to!Phil.
