Defo think its a 2 box Piper when I change. I've just got to fix the perpetually broken power steering pump again.

You've bought them now, but the only thing I noticed when fitting mine was the handling felt better. I don't remember any downside.

Ah that's good to know. I had a Subaru that used to set off car alarms so I'm a bit paranoid.

Do you get away with the noise limits? Or do you have to take it easy past the meters? I'm leaning towards the Piper one to be honest.

That sounds great as well!

Do you ever take it on track?

Been listening to these in the car and they all sound great, especially the first one! But I think that may be the loudest?

Ah yep that makes sense then. I was confused and not paying attention whilst pretending to be working.

Great info thanks! I might end up running a decat at some point but just want to get the stupid exhaust sorted for now. I spotted this but didn't want to say :ROFLMAO: The car is stripped and caged and mainly a track car, but I really don't want to fail noise testing on track so happy to go...

Ey up. Just wondering what options there are for a Ph2 172 catback exhaust that's available new, rather than having to scour the classifieds. Needs to be trackday quiet and preferably stealth type. I don't think the PMS mates up to the standard cat so gets quite dear when you add the sports cat...

Took the car out last night and its driving much better, Thanks for the pointers guys. I still think the exhaust may be restrictive but its knocking it's c**k off so will be getting replaced. Well that's and exaggeration - you can tell its touching under the car somewhere as there's harsh...

Replaced this weekend, The old seal was a bugger to get out but it looked like it had been leaking. Plenty of oily gunge around the solenoid. And the car wasn't much better either :LOL:

They look amazing!

Reps or not, they're the absolute sex! If you decide you don't like them, please can you wait about 3 months and sell them to me?

Thanks! Ordered one.

I’ll tell the girlfriend that’s what it’s doing to the driveway too!

I can be clumsy, but I didn't pour any that high up :LOL: Usual suspects to get one from?

Actually, this probably shouldn't be wet with oil should it? :unsure::LOL:

That's what I'm scared of! Idles fine with no misfire. I couldn't tell you exactly what the idle was like, but I've had it 8 years and I didn't notice the idle being unusual. Aside from a visual check of "has this wire been pulled out", anything else to check for?

One is sound, one has a Tesla. I'll have a think :LOL:

Thanks! That picture was just when I had them in to secure the strut, I've since refitted the strut brace (y) But thanks for noticing, good tip for the uninitiated, and keeps cars the right way up!

I've definitely no lights on the dash which has puzzled me, but a restrictive exhaust could well be the cause. Is giving it a blast up the road with no exhaust after the cat a stupid idea? Apologies I didn't make it clear, the old exhaust had rotted off, and it failed it's MOT, so I ordered a...

Enkei RPF1s! Very jealous!

I've been doing a lot of work on the Clio and after taking it out for a test drive, the "kick" at 4500rpm wasn't there. It pulled to the redline, and didn't have issues accelerating to 70mph but it definitely felt down on power. It drives fine, it just feels like its got 140bhp. Literally like...

I've actually refilled it with Redline so fingers crossed it behaves itself now!

Maintenance/Mechanical bits 1) Change oil & filter, plugs, leads, fit new cabin filter 2) Plumb in powersteering cooler, refill & bleed system. 3a) Fit rear lowering springs 3b) Fit front lowering springs 4) Fit Jon Foz seat subframe Cosmetic/Fiddly bits 1) Fit gearbox driptray 2) Drop steering...

In. On. Reassembled. Set the camber using the Eibach bolts. Sounds crude but I know that max camber is approx -2.5deg (Think its -2.4 one side and -2.5 the other), so set it to max. I've had it like this before and love how it drives. Good to see it with some negative camer again! Needs some...

Decided to tackle the fronts. Due to lack of use, the battery keeps dying. I'm in the process of adding an external socket to my house so I can keep it on a battery conditioner, but in the meantime I just have to chance it. This isn't normally an issue, but due to the fact I'd taken the fronts...

I was met a friend of a friend years and years ago who said he had an MG ZR to try and impress me, as he knew I liked cars. When he showed me it was a maroon Rover 25. I pointed that out and he said "well they're same anyway".

I satin black'd my grills etc all in situ about 5 years ago and they've stood up great. Better than the front badge that I took off actually.
