I have just bought a ktec ultra exhaust system. It comes with a sleeved decat.
I have spoke to ktec asking if the sell the adapter for the system which allows you to use the standard cat but I've not had a reply yet.
Was just wandering, if the adapter is not available, then I'd modify my cat...
Just various pics really. Tailpipes, etc.
Underneath where the cat joins the center section would be great but I know you'd need a ramp for that so don't sweat it too much.
Also for future reference, all 172s including cups and 182 non cup have 54mm bolt spacing on the hubs.
182 cup, 182ff (with cup packs) and 182 trophies have 60mm hub bolt spacing.
Yours are 54mm ?
They will both fit with no issues.
The difference is the offset with the cup ones being the lower offset of et38 so essentially sit 5mm wider than trophy ones. For this reason, people prefer the cup ones as they fill the arches a bit more.
The center bore and pdc (spacing between wheel bolt...
Had a go a track day pics. Still a massive learner and getting the right setting, focal range and focus was harder than I thought but I'm happy with this attempt.
Yes mate. Been with the company 4/5 years now. He's a cool guy and a nice bloke to work for. Very positive person.
Yeah I think this was when we did the Aston? I had no hair then so I know it was a while back!
Thank you very much mate. That's a real moral booster. Nice to see that being written/spoke about as there's plenty of nice cars on here.
As I've always said, it's not a minter and mileage isn't low (as such) so it since to see people love the car for what it is.
Yes mate. I think we'll have...
Just read the whole build thread. Amazing work.
Love your attitude to it all. Love the man cave. Love the work you put into it.
But this £400 (£200 I've you sold all the interior parts) isn't such a cheap car now is it?! ?
In other news, we attacked the arches today and I'm happy to say that it's turned out to be surface rust. We pulled the sills off and there is no rust on there either.
So far the car has had the arches and fuel area sanded down and primered. We plan to stay after work and get the arches, fuel...
Thanks mate, that's a proper nice comment to read ?
Thanks mate. I think I'm getting better at the pics. I do think just a little paint definitely tidies up the engine bay ?
Thanks mate. Sometimes it's hard to keep the white 2118s clean and I do sometimes think that maybe anthracite would be...
Ah perfect. Cheap mod.
I have the same kit and i wanted to change the bushes as I wasn t too sure how old they was. I will give him a message later on. Thanks.
Yeah it is and it isn't. I've always been honest about it having paintwork in some form of it's life. Fortunately it can be fixed. Let's be honest, I'd imagine most cars of this mileage have had some form of bodywork in the past.
Being used as a daily, I'm not going to get every panel done. I'm...
Haven't updated this in a while. Not a lot has happened tbh apart from a lot of picture taking!
So as the car is a daily, i braved the weather when we had the beast from the east storm. AD08R's in the snow aren't that bad. Rule is, don't drive like a knobhead and you'll be reet!
Of course i...
Thanks. Not all are perfect but a good start I think. I found that myself/camera was too slow at times for the fast pace. Or I had the wrong shutter speed going on.
As for the evening, it was perfect weather wise. Not too hot, little wind, and a wicked sunset starting to drop. Shame they shut...
