My god after lots of faffing and some swearing the old exhaust is off and a nice smooth refit the new system is on

And it sounds and looks amazing feels different to god knows why..

 

[cliosport-carl]

And have sent back my coilover due to it leaking again

But some more pics

 

[cliosport-carl]

Getting my shock back Monday have been advised there was a tiny hole in the base of the shock which has been repaired and getting repainted so excited and now just need to get my tyres on as at the min they are just keeping the floor from getting dusty.

 

[cliosport-carl]

Whilst I'm waiting for my coilover to come back which I'm not having to pay for thank you very much gaz thought I'd go and fit my tyres hopefully it will be back on the road tomorrow not in its normal position jacked up

 

[cliosport-carl]

More than happy with the pms exhaust and will get a video soon and am so happy it's back on the road again

Some more p**n for you guys

@cliosport-carl what did you use as the surround on the bumper for the backbox?

Motorcycle screen surround I think I got it from a jumble

 

[JGTTDI]

Nice idea :smile: @cliosport-carl

 

[cliosport-carl]

Nice idea :smile: @cliosport-carl

yeah its good because its quite rigid and it stays where it gets put as my cutting skills wasn't that good so it looks fantastic and if it doesn't i can move and nudge it a little

 

[cliosport-carl]

Im going to be cleaning it tonight and will get a video of the exhaust for people who want to see one

 

[cliosport-carl]

The AC delete kit from PMS helps a shed load

 

[cliosport-carl]

and thus ending an era i have managed to pick up a very good priced 197 and i have been driving it for a few days and have no liked it enough an have seen enough potential to use it properly so sadly over the next few weeks i will be breaking my 172 to fund the 197 i will get some pics of it up soon but if anybody would like anything please pm me thanks....

 

[cliosport-carl]

right some pics of the bunny boiler 1 owner local full service history sadly no belts and a few scuffs and dinks around but all in all good

will be hard to see it go bit by bit after having it for 4 years but i kept saying i want to upgrade after 3 years.

 

[cliosport-carl]

sad day today it has now been removed and gone to the scrap yard in the sky ...

 

[cliosport-carl]

And there it goes
