well got my exhuast done today and eerrrmm well, to put it simple. IT`S LOUD AS F**K. it sounds wicked but i think it may be a little too loud. its nice when on idle and have a nice burble to it when driving normaly but when flooring it (it sounds awsome) but on the way back down the revs its very loud indeed so i may end up getting a middle box put in after all lol. i think alot of this is down to the acuestics of the actual car rather than the exhuast but im going to keep it for a bit to see how i get on with it. heres some pics anyway
rear silencer (that silences nothing lol)
middle section (strait through)
and silenced de cat (which again, silences nothing lol)
i also got a little prezzie off the bloke who did it for me lol
one for me and one for the missis (i really dont think she will approve haha)
ill try and get a vid up tomorow to show you all

well today i decided that it is a bit too loud so though i would try to soften the blow of the noise a bit by insulating the boot in some way. to do this i decided to get some sheets of polystyrene and line the boot flor out with it. so went out and got this
lay it out on the floor put the carpet back in and then when i went to put my sub back in i realised that it had lifted the floor too much for the stelth shelf to go in over the top of it so i then thought ahh ill kill two birds with one stone. this was because my sub has a habbit of slidding around the boot when driving which isnt the safest thing in the world so i did this
then tryed it and...
i then finished it off like this.
and this is how it looks (minus the amp and shelf)
not bad eh. just a shame it did fook all to the noise level but at least it will stop the sub getting damaged anymore.
i am in the middle of loading the vids of the exhuast so when they are done i will get them up.
cheers for looking and as allways comments welcome.

How come that your CS has a red on rev meter starting at 6750 rev/min.
Mine is from 7333 rev/min.
I found it on youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BE4edzLua8
This is not mine, but you will see that red starts at 7250.

cheers mate, glad you like it.
i did the lettering on the bullets carefully by hand with an art brush then when they get a bit tatty, i just go over them with some black marker lol. wheels are starting to look a bit tatty again and it is in need of another detailing session so when the weather gets better im going to get my finger out and spend some time on it. also trying to raise some funds for a remap so hopefully that will be coming in the future

i know lol. it looks abit sorry for its self at the momment because it is filthy but once i get the stupid bloody drive shaft sorted im gona giv it a good spring clean lol.
speaking of the drive shaft, ive had a right mere with it. its only the cv joint that has gone and managed to find a company that deal in reconed cv`s so managed to get one through them so i waited 3 weeks for it and arranged with my mate to do it this sat just gone. got to work in the morning as we wanted to use the ramps there and set to work. after abit of tugging, pulling, levering and hammering the drive shaft came out and the cv joint was faily easy to get off but then when we compared the 2 cv`s, the new one looked different. there was no cerclip to hold it on nad the hole was too small to fit the shaft into, let alone the whole thing being about 5mm smaller in diameter. so i rang them and told them what a bunch of tw@ts they are. also to make things worse i work 15 miles from home and work had decided that they were shutting up at 12. so not only did i have no cv but i didnt have enough time to put the thing back together again properly so i ended up leaving it at work all weekend and my mate is now having to give me a lift to and from work untill the whole shaft arrives that i have ordered from renault.

its been a while so think i need to up date lol. fitted new mintex pads to the front as they were on their way out but have no pics. also done some investigating and took a trip up to fred to get his oppinion on what the knockin was and he said its probly a mixture of the top mounts and engine mounts so i took a look at the upper gear box mount and one of the nuts was 2 1/2 turns loose so took them off and replaced them with some new nylock nuts but that still never got rid of the knocking . i also got my hands on a set of powerflex bushies for the dog bone mount and fitted them today
getting old one off
all powerflexed up and ready to go back on. and yes i know the the centres are in the wrong bushies lol.
was supprised at how easy it was to do. no problems or difficaltys at all
and guess what, it seems to have done the trick. no knocking as of yet. car also feels a bit more composed and alot less jalty when accelerating. gear changes seem a bit smoother too but im not sure if its all in my head lol.
i have also got the top mounts so still got to do them and i have also ordered some 7mm magnecor leads. hopfully this should stop the little missfire i keep getting but ill check the plugs whilst im changing the leads.
also went to santa pod again but only managed a 15.4 this time but i put it down to all the things that need doing so hopfully when its all done i will be able to break into the 14`s (fingers crossed)

well me and my mate got the top mounts done yesterday and they were foowked so definatly needed doing.
the old ones:dead:
cars feels a bit better in the corners now as they look like they have needed doing for quite a while lol.
should be getting the ht leads at some point this week. just waiting for them to be delivered then just going to change the gear box mount and upper engine mount as there is still a slight knock when pulling off but other than that. the car is sound... apart from the speedo has decided to start playing up . so thats another thing im going to have to get sorted lol.

ive orderd one through work as it was only £20.
bit more progress too.
only got the standard 7mm ones as i didnt want to get anything bigger than original because of the stories i have heard. still pops if im in low revs in second and go to pull off but think a remap may sort that which im gona start saving for.
and also, the trusty sticker
