New Exhaust

I finally got round to having the engine tuned and a new centre section with a custom built stainless box. Sounds better now!!!

Is it straight pipe to the rear silencer now then?

The centre is original as the mechanic ordered it without me knowing as the old one had rusted which is a shame otherwise I would have had a full stainless system. The back box is a stainless straight through, free flowing etc etc.. It sounds much better though...I will probably change the manifold and the centre when I have some spare cash. Guess I will have to wait until christmas!

Where did you get the back box from? Mines on its way out!

Thanks for your positive comments guys. I am chuffed with it although my neighbours are probably not too impressed!

Kam I got the work done by a good friend of mine at StyleDynamix in Hayes (Middx) The new company name is "Long Life Exhausts" It cost £190 incl fitting. Give him a buzz (02085610001)

Thanks Hannah, I have been looking at some 16" wheels 9J wide and 7.5 front but don't know whether to stick to the steels...If I get new wheels, I will be spending all my time cleaning them LOL. I'm off to a show this Sunday in Uxbridge and will have the car at my mate's stand. Come down if you are interested

It looks very nice! I'm after a full stainless as soon as my dodgy repair lets go. Mucho better! Keep the steelies dude! Keep it retro, poverty spec!

Thanks dude! I need to concentrate on the suspension now as the rear subframe mounts are worn bushes, shocks etc. I have seen some spax adjustable for 490. I'll just have to hang on and see i guess. Cheers Ally

Thanks Hannah,

I'm having problems with it cutting out now since the tune. It cut out on the motorway which wasn't too good so I coasted at 60mph! LOL One of my lamps for the single lamp conversion got smashed so I'm not too happy
