I'm getting a bit sick of this now. Sorted the oil leak, start getting the coolant up to pressure and the thermostat housing springs a leak. Great.

Bolting the exhaust up on the floor worked, seemed because the downpipe is literally touching the heatshield it was causing difficulties. So, Horsham Developments got me a new Lambda sensor here within 24hours, so banged that on, fitted the remainder of the boost pipes. Fired it up, sounded a...

Knew my gearbox had an oil drip, but didn't know it has this hole in it. Guess somebody knocked that hole in to keep oil off the clutch, must be a leaky input seal :( Downpipe on, need to bodge a mount out of something now. Wish I'd never started this job! Rest of the exhaust is dangling on...

I've just lost my rag with the exhaust, so now I have to tear the interior out to gain access to the rear quarter.

I wasn't sure the downpipe would fit through from above so didn't want to risk it. I will eventually get a catch can, but for now a new hose is better than the one I took off. I'm used to the heatwrap smoke, seen it before lol. I don't know if I'll upgrade the turbo TBH.

You soon grasp it, it's only a few extra pipes and a bit of metal. This car is far better to work on than any FWD european car I've touched with spanners, just well thought out and a bit of extra space helps too.

Might as well have a bit of an update seeing as it's the weekend. Been steadily plodding along after work all week with this. Found my breather hose to the turbo to be in bad shape due to being so close to the exhaust manifold, so had to get myself another one... Got on with getting the...

My mate's selling a Daihatsu Cuore Avanzato 4wd box thing, Turbo is shot though. What's the blue classic rotary powered thing on the last page, presuming it's a Mazda?

Don't like it TBH.

That sucks.

Welcome to the "has stretch, needs spacers" crew :P. Looks sweet though dude.

Re: My 79 Mk1 Scirocco.... Got low LOL @ the sump.

The normal Hi Power is pretty loud apparently. If it's no quieter I'll just flog it, like I said I wasn't too keen on a 5" tip, but didn't want any of the cheap monkey metal stainless the UK traders sell as their own branded exhausts.

Not according to the db list on SXOC. It f**king best be quieter than what I've got now, I've got a tiny rear silencer and that's it. EDIT: SXOC states 92db with decat, that'll be quieter than what it is now.

That's what sets an HKS Hi Power Silent apart from a Hi Power, it's meant to be quieter. Which I need, sitting at motorway speeds is ridiculous for drone.

I had a Broom Yellow Cinq Sporting, was nothing special, pretty much standard bar painted alloys, alloy rad,yellow rear lights and mckrich chip. Lost all my images when my external HDD failed :( Mikalors are probably better, but are too wide for the job really.

Get one, they're cheap as f**k bar S15s. Decided to do the cooling system bar the turbo lines today. So Radiator out... New Thermostat in... Modifiied Coolant Elbow on... New Radiator and orange cooling hoses (had to trim the outlet one down unfortunately)... You might notice the funky...

LOL Dan, I'm funny for a Northern c**t! Thanks Jamie, I think I recognise you from my fiatforum days actually. I get a feeling the tip will be getting ground off one day for a smaller one.

Aye. That's bigger than your c**k but smaller than your arsehole for your reference ;)

Got it in a group buy from SRB, so was cheaper than it should of been. Still, it wasn't your £150 Japspeed/Apex Catback, but it'll out last the car. The only thing I don't like is the fact that for an SX it's a 5" Tip, whereas some others have smaller tips.

As winter is starting to close in, I'm in the very least aware I need to sort the exhaust out. So I got it all out to see how it sits. First up is my new Part Shop Max Cobra elbow/downpipe, I bloody love this! The whole lot together (Cobra, Decat pipe from Apex as it was cheapest, HKS Hi...

Salt flat epicness... Write up and more images here

Fuchs don't suit it IMO. They look wrong all silver too.

LMFAO.

Will do :D

Ordered one! Not colouring it though, will photocopy them and go crazy!

WANT!!!

Lol :D Quality film.

According to the flickr descriptions it is an LS, albeit with another 8 foot of metal strapped over the cams.

Do you want to smash through a caravan and die too?
