Cheap Std Exhaust ?

[Sipha]

Does this seem pretty cheap to you ?

I thought most pattern/oem exhaust parts were loads more.

 

[davebem]

Its cheap, wheres it from?

 

[Sipha]

Buypartsby.com

 

[Edd]

Seems really cheap! I'm on my iPhone at the min so can't really look them up, but do they do other 172 parts??

 

[edd1982]

Thats great, i was just online trying to find a cheapish replacement for the big ass scorpion system on the 172 cup i just bought. Cheers for that.

Anybody used buypartsby.com before?

 

[Sipha]

No probs !

I would also like to hear any reviews people have for this site, before I take the plunge.

Edd, yes they do allsorts, just the general motorfactor type things.

 

[edd1982]

I'm going to give them a bell tomorrow and make sure everything is correct before i make a purchase. I'll let you know the result tomorrow mate.

Very cheap, brake discs are a tenner?

Really ? Ten quid ?


What for a front disc pair ?

 

[TST4R]

is this forreal?..my mechanic wants £250 for exhaust to supplied and fitted!

 

[piggoy]

Are they really selling genuine spares?

Their front page reads "We only supply original equipment quality car parts, many of the suppliers we use supply directly to the car industry, the quality of our parts is guaranteed to meet or exceed those offered by franchised dealers."

My quote from Renault for a complete OE exhaust system was £350+vat

 

[Martin_172]

thats not genuine renault its an OE patern part, thats the same centre section my 172 got put on it under warranty by the Toyota dealership i bought it from, lasted longer than the genuine renault one and even with the shitty tiny pipework my car still made 173bhp at the scottish RR day lol

Bet it'll go rusty as f**k after a week.

is this forreal?..my mechanic wants £250 for exhaust to supplied and fitted!

exactly how much i paid last week.

 

[Sipha]

Yeh I've been informed the pipework on these pattern parts is of a smaller diameter than even the OE Renault stuff so possibly even more restrictive. However might still be worth it if you strapped for cash as I am lol

 

[durham4416]

just had a look for my 182 and its only 38 plus vat, mines blowing a bit and i dont want an aftermarket exhaust, do you think the tailpipes will look different or does anybody have a standard 182 backbox for sale, pm me if you have please, cheers

 

[durham4416]

just spoke to them, lambda sensor is 65 delivered for fuelparts item and 75 delivered for bosch, rear discs 10.00 each but you have to press your old bearings and abs ring out and out them in the new ones and the exhaust that is listed on their website is the same for 172 and 182 lol, so you might be ok with a 172 exhaust but i think it might be a case of you get what you pay for.

 

[Sipha]

Same exhaust for 172 and 182 lol ?!

I hope they send the right item if I make an order lol.

Cheers for reporting back Durham4416.

 

[Martin_172]

not sure about the backbox but as i said above the centre section isnt a problem being restrictive

 

[Sipha]

Ok so I just tried phoning these guys and it rang a few times then all I got was 'The other caller has put the phone down'. I must have tried 4 or 5 times and all I got was the same thing.

Doesnt fill me with confidence tbh, anyone else care to try them ?

 

[sussex_gti]

Think they concentrate more on online sales. Know a few people who have used them with good results.

 

[edd1982]

I bought a full system from them and i'm not happy at all for a few reasons. Going to ring them tomorrow and see if they are willing to sort it out for me. I'll let you know what the outcome is.
