right not sure if im posting this in the right as pretty new to this forum but thought i would post some pics up of my car as iv had it since april so!!!

Engine: PiperX Viper Induction Kit with cold feed to where fog lamp was, Janspeed Decat pipe, Magnex full cat-back system

Suspension: K-tec Racing APEX 30mm springs all round, Front and rear upper OMP strut braces(ran a 15.1 quarter mile at crail darg strip as well)

Wheels: Team Dynamics Monza R phase 1 16", Toyo Proxy T1R 20/45/16

and a few other touches like de-wipered rear, black front badge, smoked side repeaters and smaller ariel, stripped and carpeted rear(no back seats)

this is what it was like when i bought it

and a few pics of what it is like now after a good clean!!

the exhaust is getting changed as i really dont like the tip!! few more goodies to come as well like a carbon bonnet and splitter, and more engine work, tryin to save for throttle bodies also.

magnex looks fine it just needs modified so it fits properly to a ph2 iirc chop a bit off so the pipes sit flush with the bumper

yea it is!! neither of them are working at the min which is annoying me big time, just dribbles down from the jet. anyone know if this s a common fault.

thanks mate ill get round to doing that, bought it and said it was for a phase 2 but not the greatest fit, where is the best place to chop a bit off from? where it joins to the middle section?

haha the hair was done as a bet for when we all went to magaluff a month or so back! and yea the rover was a beast but sadly no more as he finally got his 106 gti on the road, quickest one round here by far as well!!
thanks for the comments by the way everyone!

Chop about an inch off the sleeve that fits into the front of the centre section. Fits a damn sight better and won't hit the back axle then either.

do you mean cut a bit off the part that slides into the centre section that then bolts to the cat? or chop a bit off the part of the exhaust which has the box in it? sorry to sound stupid but want to get it right as that knocking off the axle is damn annoying as well!!! thanks very much mate by the way for the help

Nice sport mate, does the front and rear strutbraces really make a difference?

to be honest mate no lol i havn't noticed a great diff but its bound to tighten things up a bit, already an amazing handling car. a few people said i would have problems with understeer by putting them on but i have drien it really hard at times with a bit of spirited drivng lol and never experienced and loss of grip at all!! obviously if you push it right to the limit you get that slight oversteer depending on your driving style but thats gradual and easy to deal with so very happy so far!!!

Sleeve that fits to the cat not the actual center section, allows the exhaust to sit much further forward so it follows the profile of the exhaust tunnel properly and clears the axle much better.
