the front ive had to raise considerably i dropped it to the max on the front and it wasnt even an inch off the floor! still needs a slight raise as its catching speed bumps at normal speeds but doesnt if i roll over them, the back seems a little lower but due to having no weight in the back stil isnt lower enough some custom springs maybe in order, the drive however is mint :)

You not gonna bother converting the rear drums to discs and callipers then?

Gonna be mint when it is finished! You going to FCS/National Meet?

nah was going to go to discs even have braided hoses for rear discs to! just bearings are stronger in the drums and discs wont provide any additional braking help so i thought save the cash plus drums make handbraking miles easier!

going to be at fcs and national meet :) cant wait for camping again get some proper bbq food on the go, also cant wait for first bit of track time! hoorah!

time for a update whilst finishing off a chocolate doughnut :)

just been doing little alterations to the car trying to take things off my huge snag list

Picture013-1.jpg


first noticable thing i did was have the rear bumper repaired and resprayed after reversing it into a high rise kerb (i'm blaming the winged seats not my driving ability ;) ) i also removed the carbon sheeting from the insert as it was bubbling up and looking cheap.

I painted both tow eyes white and succesfully installed the rear one without damaging the freshly painted bumper after "aquiring" some m16! nuts from work :)

Picture012-1.jpg


got name tags made up for the side windows also waiting on elf stickers for the door mirrors and a special sticker i'm having made for the rear window :)

Picture011-1.jpg


got my carbon door cards from d4ve today so they'll be going in soonish got them at a good price since as though performance trim where trying to charge me an extra £30 for custom cutting the rear ones when they already did it the way i asked anyway just trying to make a mug of me!

also got 1 litre of gloss black and 1 litre of primer to do 50/50 mix with thinners to spray out the inside of the car :)

its only happened once, i actually think it was the guy that sprayed the bumper that did a crap job not priming and laquering it properly, the high kerb pushed my old magnex up against the bumper, and instead of flexing like paint should (like it does on the front wings) it all just flaked off!

winged seats FTW :evil:

Just what i was thinking :S

Could it be anything to do with the 182 manifold?
Click to expand...

the cat back section of the exhaust cant move much as it needs to be attached at fixed points along the car. if its a yoz system then some of them tend to stick out a bit too far - i know mine does at the min. so i doubt the 182 manifold has made any difference

Click to expand...

aii i'm coming down in this :) shame all the sessions were booked but maybe lucky as im paying my insurance off in full this year :)

and it does stick out a little but it doesnt knock or make any noise, its solid and sounds great and is way lighter then what the magnex was so its doing its job!

Just why i am swapping my Magnex system for one LOL! :approve:

Is yours the Yozzasport race exhaust system?

What is the difference between the race system and the road system (loud)?

whats so wring with it? i had a picture of dave turbo's old one and its sat in exactly the same place? the tailpipe comes inline with were the back bumper is and is a couple of inch's below the bumper?

maybe some more pics would help :)

the road system sits cut into the bumper where the race system is under slung, i think the road system has bigger silencers to maybe?

all i can say is the noise from it is unreal,maybe no louder then my magnex but the type of noise is mint its sounds more like "power!"
