Glad my thread has been of interest. The blasting that BTB are doing on my back box uses water and glass under high pressure. The media used in stainless blasting has an effect on the finish. The glass will give it a uniform satin silver finish. Their tank is only used for smallish items and you...
The BTB is not standard noise levels, but it certainly isn't loud. They can make you a Ninja version if you want completely standard noise - but it'll cost you.
Yes it's mine. Didn't post it on here as I assumed (correctly as it seems) that it might baffle the CS massive. It's done nearly 90k miles, does around 10k miles a year and is used everyday. It now drives like new and will hopefully continue to give me enjoyable motoring for many more...
I found my Monaco to have very hard paint. In the end, I had great correction from Megs 105 with an orange LC pad on the Flex 3401VRG - a very powerful combination. Then refined with Megs 205.
I've done multiple coats on all 4 arches and have used half of a £25 can. Another benefit to Motor Shine is that you can do the painted areas under the arch too, along with dampers, springs, hubs etc. Very easy to do as it's an aerosol.
I used Swissvax motor shine on mine. It's a sort of spray lacquer that is flexible and water repellant and comes in an aerosol. Plenty of info on what I did here (if you can access DW)... http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=201688
Not sure, best to call them. It used to be about £60, but that was if you had ordered an exhaust at the same time. Joe is a nice chap, give him a call and see.
Why not go to BTB (45 minutes from you) and get their cat mod done and replace the crap join once and for all? You can see pictures of the join on www.clio182btbexhausts.co.uk
BTB have given me some nice new stickers for my car. These are destined for promo work but I've persuaded Joe to make a few more than he initially planned - so if you fancy some (free), get on the blower before they run out.
Also, for identification purposes, all systems from now on...
I don't think the noise level is an age thing. Of all the Clio systems that have sold, BTB has only had two comments on the noise level. Out of those two, only one was bothered enough to have the system changed - hence the BTB Ninja was born. It's become clear to BTB over the years that we all...
Still some for sale every now and then. Price varies on quality - you need big wallets to run them now. Joe Ellis of BTB is a specialist, he raced his across Nevada averaging 160mph! Check out http://www.racecar.co.uk/lotuscarlton/
I was invited to Stoneleigh to the Race Retro show by BTB Exhausts today. Great collection of historic and post historic cars, motorbikes and a live Group B rally show outside. Some pics...
Those laser cut tags will be on all Clio exhausts from now on - but in...
