[davo172cup]

was guna go in cos my mates work/drink there but i didnt want to walk in and look a dik if no one is in there! so i went up the boufort instead to see my bro!

 

[lemonnobby]

yea dave it was ur car couldnt remember the reg. exhaust ok?

 

[LadySarah]

Yay I got spotted!! Good shout Lemonnobby1!

 

[davo172cup]

exhaust is spot on! just came back from bradley stoke and took a detor to warmley round about and back, sound lush, i saw dan earlier, think he liked it!
tried using my digi camera to record a vid but the sound just distorts, had a go with my fone but it is abit blury! trying to post it but cant find my bluetooth thing! will get a better quality one soon, just got to find a camera which can handle the sheer power and noise it makes! lol!

ladysarah - hows the 182 going?

 

[LadySarah]

Lush thanks Davo, just had more bits of my engine sprayed tonight by Jimmer. Looks mint!

Need to hear that exhaust mate!

 

[davo172cup]

we need another meet, cudnt make the last one(wel met up with dan, big jts etc at the kebab van to say hi but then went home)as the cat was fuked and id lost power and it was making the most upsetting noise, which it is still making bt its noe the heat shield so an easy fix!

are the bits sprayed liquid yellow? wot parts did u have done?

the only prob i have with the ehaust is i keep blipin the warp speed pedal,lol, cos it sound lush! and i love it when i goes over 5000rpm!

 

[lemonnobby]

i made sure i did a good job of that exhaust mate, i thought it was someone off here. Lady sarah did you see the sliver clio parked 2 bays away from yours? took them so long to rebond the windscreen didnt it lol they all didnt belive me when i said that first.

 

[LadySarah]

Already had the yellow bits done, but jimmer painted engine black for me! Still got to get battery cover and strut tops...

Didn't see the silver clio i'm afraid... what do you mean 'they all didnt believe me when i said that first'??? :S said what?

 

[davo172cup]

lemon - did u put my new cat in?
i thought u worked in the sales department with dan and jon?

wots the windscreen thing?

 

[Sami]

dave you live in bradley stoke mate?

 

[LadySarah]

lemon - did u put my new cat in?
i thought u worked in the sales department with dan and jon?

wots the windscreen thing?

My windscreen kept making a screaming noise, due to a gap in the windscreen seal. So they took it out and rebonded it and now the screaming noise has gone.

I'm not quite sure who you are either Lemon, have I met you before?

 

[davo172cup]

sami - no but i do drive throu there on the way to and from work! you seen me driving throu?

sarah - engine bay looks nice! nexty dont u get the RENAULTSPORT on the engine painted? that would look good!

 

[LadySarah]

painted? I was gonna try and shine it up a bit more, but painted? what colour?

 

[davo172cup]

yellow same as the other bits, although now u got me thinking, shined up would look good to!

 

[Peperami]

It looks wicked shined up! And with the bits planned will look awesome

 

[JR]

engine does look mint mate, how long did jimmer need it for to do the work ? i think you should try and get a hill power silicone elbow for your air box next too, they also sell the strut top covers if im not mistaken. i would go for a black silicone elbow if they do one as i think the yellow one that they do is no where near the liquid colour.

 

[LadySarah]

Thanks honey!

Justin - that's exactly what Dan (Peperami) said earlier

 

[JACKO CUP 172!]

ya engine looks quality sarah!!

 

[lemonnobby]

sarah and dave i work in the workshop and dave i done your exhaust. sarah when your car come in months ago i said the noise was coming from the windsrceen not beening sealed correctly and they all laughed well after what is it 4 trips its now gone hasnt it and now there is a actis solution out on the noise. you proberly seen me about as im the only one with blue overalls on at the mo.

 

[davo172cup]

mite have seen you when i dropped the car off tuesday, had a look under the car while it was on the ramps at longlife, very good job, cheers buddy!
still got a rattle but i think its prob the heat shield, guna drop in sj's to see someone about it!

 

[lemonnobby]

yea i have a good idea what that might be mate ask to speak to who done the job i.e. me.

 

[davo172cup]

ok mate what is you propper name cos if i go in and ask to speak to lemonnobby then the person on the desk mite not no who im talking about!

what do u recon it coild be?

 

[lemonnobby]

paul is my name, on the connection manifold to cat there is a bolts and nut but in between there is a spring. when i took the old cat off it was a bit floppy when i put it back on it was fine must be the spring at fault.

 

[Sami]

Yeah dave I've seen a silver 172 round bradley stoke, sure I saw one filling up at tesco earlier, was tht u?

 

[Peperami]
