ive got exhaust paste i just think its crap and just flakes off

everyone i know uses this, its not to hold the exhaust its just a back up incase of any tiny holes as U-clamps are w**k, cant imagine anyone waiting 24 hrs to wait to start the car after fitting a exhaust, as i said Pipewerx must be doing something wrong too

yeh whats up with that? pipewerx must be going wrong aswell then LOL going upto a mates tmoz to check the oil pump as there could be a blocked or the pressure relief valve might be jammed as the oil pressuers pretty high also causing the engine to heat up really quick. its not knocking...

carbs jammed last night whilst driving 'enthusiastically' last night causing it to go straight to the limiter... just had a look at them and the problem was this screw had popped out so there wasnt enough slack on the return spring, which was causcingt he butterflys to be around 1/4 open -...

Bedded in the brakes yesterday, they're awesome, think the system needs bleeding tho so going to do that once ive done the rear beam as you need to disconnect the rear brake lines to get the beam off. also drives alot better now with the tracking sorted, will double check it again once the...
