madmax_926 Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I have been keeping an eye on these on ebay, I know there is a few people running these, i know the ct9 ones are a "complete fail" but they do the td04 in mild steel and was wondering if they are ok ? i cant see the point in buying a hybrid ct9 when i believe you could possibly put a tdo4 kit together for around £600. So to anyone whos running one wether stainless or mild steel,1. whats the fit like? good seal no blowing? i remember reading something about the decat pipe not fitting correctly with the lamda sensor2. do they crack lol3. anything else you can think ofsorry for the essay and thanks Quote
ep_brad Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 ive had one on since jan now and hasnt caused me any problems so far. Dont use the gasket they supply with the kit use toyota manifold gasket and td04 gaskets from nick@td. Mine manifold fitted ok but i did have to remove a tiny bit of metal from the power steering pump bracket for a flush fit.There's a few other members who are running them as well Quote
madmax_926 Posted May 21, 2011 Author Posted May 21, 2011 i think im gonna give it a go then, awesome thanks Quote
StarletMad Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I run a S/S one Gaskets are poo but manifold hasnt cracked ... had mine since November Time. Quote
madmax_926 Posted May 21, 2011 Author Posted May 21, 2011 damn man these are gonna be a good buy me thinks Quote
ep91steve Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Should brace it there abit heavy tbh a had one Quote
Fro Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 They are heavy but seem well made. Though looking at the mile steel ones now, it looks like they have changed the design slightly. Mine fitted with no problems but take note on what was mentioned with the gaskets, mine wasn't supplied with any thankfully haha Quote
StarletMad Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 I took the grinder to my CT9 Brace and Welded it to my TD04 Kit Quote

LeeG Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 mild steel can with stand more heat than stainless and is easier to get welded if a crack ever did apper on it. Quote
madmax_926 Posted May 22, 2011 Author Posted May 22, 2011 mild steel can with stand more heat than stainless and is easier to get welded if a crack ever did apper on it.i will give that a go then sounds better to me just looks poor went the paint flakes off after 1st use Quote

LeeG Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 i made up a bracket tht supports the start of the centre section to the old cat bracket as speedvision down pipe is made out of cast not steel but braced the mani Quote

Fro Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Trust me, The paint on the mild steel one will be gone in a cloud of smoke in around 30 seconds Someone posted how to get it to stay on, need to bake it on by starting your car for about 10 seconds, letting it cool right down, heat up a bit more, let it cool right down about 50 times â?¦ fuck that ;) Quote
madmax_926 Posted May 22, 2011 Author Posted May 22, 2011 is this the civic rad everyone uses ? where do i get brackets/how to fit to my glanzahttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IToh and i wont be patient enough to bake my manifold lol looks like it will be gone in cloud of smoke Quote
