Will do that this weekend. Its got to be related imo.

 

[imprezaworks]

Quite possibly mate.

 

[LeeRS]

Stealth.

 

[imprezaworks]

How's the clunk?

 

[LeeRS]

Still clunking. Getting it back on the ramp wednesday. Have had the dog one on and off. Can anything to do with the brakes cause a clunking sound? Is the only thing I havnt thought about but then it makes sense it does it when I'm coming to a stop, or slowing down and turning.

 

[imprezaworks]

For some reason i thought you had checked the brakes. That would be my next port of call 100%

 

[LeeRS]

What can clunk on brakes? I can check them easy on the drive.

 

[imprezaworks]

pads not sitting properly for a start mate. Check nothing is moving about on its own.

I had the rear pads on mine practically fall out after a trackday a while ago, made a hell of a noise

 

[LeeRS]

I'll get on it then. Exhaust is lovely and raspy at 5k+ mate. Loving it tbh.

 

[imprezaworks]

Good stuff, happy to help out

 

[LeeRS]

Appreciate it.

Update:
So, has been a while since I've changed anything but this month I have finally got round to changing the exhaust.
@imprezaworks kindly donated me his old cat back system that he had on his track Monaco (thankyou kindly) although we did have a few issues getting it to me.
Turns out , if UPS balls up a shipment, it gets sent to lost and found..... IN GERMANY. We thought we were never going to see it again, but miraculously it turned up 2 weeks later out of the blue.
Anyway, got the exhaust all fitted up now with some nice new sleeving to the cat and backbox. I kept my cat as it was I good nick and is a longlife sports cat so didn't really want to change it anyway. So yeah, that's all nice and tucked under the rear bumper now, instead of that god awful oval abyss. Sounds nice too.
Then, today was MOT time. I was a bit worried as I have got a knocking noise as described in earlier posts and didn't know if it was going to be something major. Turns out it passed.. With no advisories. HAPPY DAYS.
Oh, ive also put 4x nankang ns2's on.
There isn't really any reviews on here about them, just speculation.
Before these, I have had T1Rs and Ecstas - which are more expensive but rated the same wet and dry as the nankangs.
All I can say is I'm more confident round twisties with these on, than I have been before with the two other brands.
For £37 a tyre, I must admit I was a bit wary but they are great.
Don't get me wrong, they are no PS3 but for the money I don't think you can get anything near them.
Obviously, the life span of them is to be determined as I've only just got them, but I do around 6k a year so if they last that long, then that will do me.
So yeah, happy motoring at the moment.

Was advised the knocking was a top mount aswell.. They are ktec solid mounts, were on when I purchased the car. Worth a shot at changing them?

 

[imprezaworks]

Car looks great lee and happy days with regards the mot but tbh I expected nothing less, the car is minty mint.

Let's not talk about the exhaust scenario, the amount of stupidity was behind stupidity. Atleast it came in a nicer box lol.

Those tyres are on the list for the cup, current ones can be comical at times.

I wonder if they are just loose as apposed goosed?

 

[ADS_V6]

What diff is there with the cat sleeved in noise terms matey?

 

[N4TH4N]

Really like this @LeeRS

Black just looks so right.

 

[LeeRS]

Cheers lads.

@ADS1982 I havnt noticed a difference to be honest. I had to have it sleeved as I had to cut the mid section off to fit the new one as it was all 1 straighthrough system before.
I would of rather it bolted on so I can swap and change a decat but I had to make the best of what I had.

 

[LeeRS]

What am I looking for to be loose on the top mounts? Everything seems tight from the top.

 

[imprezaworks]

It's how they are sat on the mount afaik. I've never had an issue with one, only what I've read really.

 

[LeeRS]

Hmm will have a check of what I can see. Such an annoying clunk.
Bootlid vibrates like a dildo aswell, need to sort that.

 

[imprezaworks]

On the shock not the mount, lol

 

[LeeRS]

Yeah I know that, you man private.
I need me some axle stands, that's what I'm getting next. Sick of lying on gravel...

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol. Cheap enough at halfords mate, £20 ish

Having a go at this.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah worth a try mate

 

[LeeRS]

Suns out, guns out.

 

[ADS_V6]

Hey top work there Lee what wax did you use.Ca r justs needs a fake jms rs2 inlet that produces -5 bhp :smile:

 

[LeeRS]

Haha, still using that wax you gave me, the yellow one whatever its called

 

[imprezaworks]

Where are the after shots?

 

[dann2707]

[Mr Burns]

Calm down on the editing my mate!

(Looks clean though)

 

[LeeRS]

What editing? None on the last one mate

 

[imprezaworks]

The video looked sped up to me. Seems very quick for a rep,

Just sayin

 

[LeeRS]

Jealousy gets you nowhere people.

That pic does look very shiny I must admit. Full hd images tbh.

 

[ADS_V6]

just seen the video shocking overtaking that old lady on her scooter,lee you only just managed to pass her :smile:

 

[LeeRS]

Yeah, she's lucky I only nudged her with the wing mirror. Next time I will make sure she gets the full wing.

 

[LeeRS]

Talking about lady's on scooters, I just seen that vid of you beeping your horn at that cyclists ass as you were passing, only to find out it was a bloke in Lycra. Epic mate.

 

[imprezaworks]

flol

 

[ADS_V6]

ssshhhhh that was a private video mate,funny enough had the same build as you and it was a bike like your avatar
