N80Jamie Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Well after the ball ache of getting the old manifold/turbo/downpipe off due to a snapped bolt, just lined up the new kit and the exhaust doesn't match up to the downpipe! So fu**ed off! What shall i do next..?! :| Quote
ollie ryan Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 custom is the only wayfit it all up and drive it to an exhaust place Quote
N80Jamie Posted June 9, 2011 Author Posted June 9, 2011 I don't get why it doesnt fit though if it was designed for the starlet? Unless i've been sold a gt kit and there not the same as the glanza kits? Quote
Starbuck Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Fuckin yell dude. Didn't someone say once its never easy nodding these cars..... always something comes up. Looks like 2inches or so needs to come off and new flange Quote

Looks like 2inches or so needs to come off and new flangeTell me about it! I text Quadcorecraig a few days ago asking what the actuator was set at but he didnt reply.. So if i text asking about what he had this fitted to i probably won't get one!What downpipe is it?It was sold to me as a 'WEPR' td04 kit so it should be a WEPR downpipe Quote
Lee_EP82 Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 The downpipe looks to be for a custom exhaust? Quote
Sparky Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 WEPR do a full exhaust system so its more than likely to be made for that specific exhaust.Most people make the downpipes/kits so they are stock exhaust position friendlyNothing but a ball ace modding cars mate I would either get a racetech decat or go to a local exhaust fabricator shouldnt cost to much to modify to fit. Quote
DavidAshton Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Wepr kit designed for a wepr exhaust, all the older wepr kits were like this. Did the seller not state? Quote
Amjad Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 I was wondering if it was WEPR, I think it's suited to their Sidewinder exhaustMay as well get the Japspeed modded too, 2.25" front section isn't a lot. I'm planning to get mine made to 2.5" when I go TD04 Quote
Sparky Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Amjad speaks sense, get a 2.5" centre section made up Quote
GlanzaJim Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 me mate had same kit and to fit his he cut his pipe off (the flange bit or what ever you call it) and weld the exhaust straight to the down pipe. this worked for him lol.Uploaded with ImageShack.usUploaded with ImageShack.usme bro cut it off cause he thinks his will bolt on straight to it, but dont know yet, Quote
Russleh Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 had the same issue when i done this dude. got a jperformance exhaust and it didnt fit as i had the old wepr downpipe for the wepr exhausts.you probably best of buyin a new downpipe Quote
Lee_EP82 Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 I had a WEPR sidewinder exhaust and it fit straight up to my zisco td04 kit, only modification was the flange needed to be changed. That looks to be wrong angle and everything. Quote
Joshua.J Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Didnt no about this mate, guess this is why you were calling me at work. When i went to powerflow to get a custom downpipe it was 250quid due to the centre flex. Best bet is custom made decat if that would fit? or what about your old exhaust does that fit? Quote
Blitz Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 i been talking to sacha at wepr and when ordering he does ask what exhaust your running so id imagine he makes the down pipe to fit "/ Quote
N80Jamie Posted June 9, 2011 Author Posted June 9, 2011 QuadcoreCraig did not state this in his add and he is now not texting me back or answering his calls.. Typical. Quote
bucketep91 Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 can the center section be removed and fitted upside down? it might fit then? Quote
N80Jamie Posted June 9, 2011 Author Posted June 9, 2011 can the center section be removed and fitted upside down? it might fit then?Thats the first thing i tried but there's no way that will work unfortunately :| Quote
bucketep91 Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 well the flange on the decat is upside down any way. looks to me if the exhaust was cut, rotated round and rewelded it might just fit. If not im sure a decent fabricator could make it fit Quote
nazzurro19 Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 oh geeze ive got a wepr kit n now im worried lol ! Quote
N80Jamie Posted June 9, 2011 Author Posted June 9, 2011 I don't want to cut and weld the exhaust or the downpipe tbh. I'm either going to get a new decat or a new kit. Do you think it would fair for me to ask quadcorecraig for a refund considering he didn't explain this issue to me? Quote
nazzurro19 Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 did you ask a question asking if it would fit , or did he mention saying it would fit your setup etc ? cause if not he might argue saying well u didnt ask what ya was buying etc Quote
N80Jamie Posted June 9, 2011 Author Posted June 9, 2011 He just said on the add and on pm's that it was a full WEPR TD04 kit including oil, water lines etc. He did not mention to me once that it would only fit a WEPR exhaust system and tbh that's a pretty big thing not to mention. Majority of people don't run these exhausts so i didn't even think of asking that question. There's a case for each of us to argue. Quote
nazzurro19 Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 yeah if i was you pm him etc and see if hes willing to take it back Quote
