M135i and the shed
Thought so. The Yozza on my 197 was a really nice bit of kit.
The pictures of the stance/spacers looks great.
Oh wait!
My photo on the top banner looks great
I will take it tomorrow!

I've heard lots of good things about his work but it baffles me why you would travel so far for simple tasks to be carried out that's all.
Nice updates as always.
Want that exhaust, I need more money

took a trip to Birmingham yesterday to havve the yozza fitted.
we opted for a decatted 172 race Potato system with a few tweeks and set about fitting it....
well....
the bolts on the cat had rusted and rounded so it took about an hour to get that off alone never mind the rest. it was basically fred, sam and my usual work horse mat-nos trying to fight against 11 years of a car being ragged and rust....
easy access...
excuse the pics, i didnt have a camera just the BB...
I'll do a review with videos of the y0zza system this week but as it stands heres the facts...
its louder than OEM, it will pass a decibel test as i tested it. It idles like OEM, until you build up back pressure its not crazy loud, when you gun it its LOUD, it pops and bangs on a standard map, the welding is beautiful (i mean that)... riad LOVES it and it doesnt rattle nor does it boom, 75/80 the frequency vibrates a little.. like i care though
Huge thanks to the lads for yesterday, dont think freds ever seen so many people in his unit at once, it was like a Brummy version of fast and the furious... only with maccys. Truffs didnt help, apart from sitting about shouting CHAMPAGNE but i suppose i best mention him for subway run oh and Maynard for well ermmm making sure GSF get parts delivered on time!
13 hour day lads, totally worth it
Picked up some DOT 5.1 too from BTM and that will be used tomorrow to bleed into the system after the braided lines go on and the backbox has about 4 hours of autosol work on it, the other bottle will be used on the Meg to get her roadworthy.
good times.
(172 phase 2 bumper is back next week...)

Good write up Naith, it was the busiest day at work Ive ever seen but it was a great day. Truffs demanding champagne and mat-nos turning up because he was bored and than got stuck with no regard for health and safety or work wear. Epic and the banter was flowing nicely.
The car is starting to look pretty good now a lot better than it was 6 months ago, truly was a bargain that thing and you give it so much stick. Loving the dash btw.

Good times then Naith.

stick?!!? I'm a gent. haha, nah you know me time and a place, i just wish the suspension was decent, its terrible. Apex springs are truly one of the biggest mistakes to be allowed in the RS range, they are dangerous.
all in good time. epic banter guys.. cheers for the postives matt. there was health and safety! they all had new invisible protective wear on, cough.
love how matts arms are bigger than the car/railway boy.
its honestly the crappest/best car ever, i adore it, arsed if thats abit OTT. just gotta watch r kid in it, ekk.

FLOL, <3 the mad scientist.
not even commenting at how jammy truffs is.. new car-ings sir-ings? special BTM upgrading-ing-ings.
You spent an hour f**king about with rusty bolts then take an angle grinding picture? 5 minutes pissing about, 30 seconds with grinder. Done.
Mercedes
not quite, the bolts holding the cat are inaccessible, the angle grinder was to shorten the new bolts
Ok. Sharp chisel, 5 minutes, done

Again inaccessible we did try, air gun and mini grinder were the only way and that was a git
That's what f***s me off about small european cars, they're not designed with maintenance in mind.
I've never seen any of Fred's work in the flesh, but he seems a good guy so yeah I know what you mean.

Fred and Flesh in the same sentence,I don't like the picture thats starting to appear.

flol, awesome afternoon/night, office is coming along nicely now too
"good afternoonings BTMings i can upgradings your carings for good pricings"
I mustings stopings doings this
me ant mat-nos decided to do the braided lines yesterday, as per it resulted in blood and things breaking.
the wind was rediculous so we didnt bother fitting the rears, can do this later this week. fronts were shot though so its nice to replace with a higher spec part.
i didnt even get any decent pics, however the mocal lines are great, I didnt notice much better response when i fitted the HEL lines to my meg but the Mocal lines are proper stuff! double tap the brakes and the car stops on the spot.
now the downside, the previous owner has rounded off the driverside caliper bleed nipple, which led to mostly this...
we eventually got it off but upon putting it back on post bleed the nipple snapped, luckily just inside the hole so it is sealed but when another fluid flush is needed a new caliper will need to be fitted. no biggy as i know a few about and someone is always breaking a 172!
pointless poo monday update.
