Tasks on Clios are NEVER simple...

[Bodge!]

[Gem]

No I was pretty w**k TBH

Friend Bubble (Not Bubbles....) was there for cuddles.....ghey boys IIRC.

 

[Pep]

Pics of said owner being 'w**k'?!

great minds....... i just made myself not say anything!!:evil:

Boys, I was in a grey hoody, hungover...eating chips and gravy out of a tray with too much vinegar on.

Even less of a pretty sight than usual TBQFH

 

[john.med]

looks like massive overkill,.. But Dave knows what he's doing with a spanner. It must have been the best thing to do. AND he got a w**k out of it for all his efforts!

I was still interested until I read the vinegar part....

 

[Gem]

In my defence, I didn't buy the chips....Dave's mate Scragg did. And he was too hungover to cope.

 

[john.med]

ha ha. I was keen till the gravy bit. Chips + Gravy = Yuck

 

[Gem]

A lass is allowed her (many) imperfections....



Anyway, I'm determined not to spam my own thread. Been for a long drive today and apart from a wee bit of a whistle due to the need for a new CAT clamp....the difference is brilliant. No more blowing exhaust

 

[john.med]

I fitted a new cat, mid section and rear silencer, and it's never sounded like it ought to. Takes a lot of fettling.

 

[mini-valver]

I HAD to take the bumper off and drop the axle, theres n other way of doing it as a standard system was going back on. They are 1 peice cat back!

New clamp and it'll be sorted, shitty Renault clamp that has done 52k was never gonna go back on

 

[john.med]

I hear you dave. And you got a w**k out of it. Everyone's a winner

 

[mini-valver]

Mrs Dave was there too mate, they could have double teamed but didn't. Selfish IMO.

 

[Christopher]

Too right...

"Nah mate... step over her, she'll bureet"

 

[mini-valver]

I'll kick her when I lift my leg aswell TBH.....

 

[Ollie82.]

Dave lad, im impressed you managed it on the driveway! I changed Clares one on a ramp and that was a pig!
Weighs a sodding ton....and i didn't even take the rear bumper off. Needed a gearbox cradle jack just to support the rear beam!

 

[D1CKY]

Thats still mint!

Mine on the other hand, weld has cracked holding the mount to the box:

Yozza on friday if my plans work out

That's how they left Dieppe IIRC... just with a little less rust

Lol :rasp:

 

[D1CKY]

Only Renault would fit a one piece exhaust that you would have to f**k about like that to remove

Glad to hear you got it sorted

Aye, you did the best with what you had... LOL.

Be reet, Steve/Kev has kindly offered a clamp, and so has Norm. Kind boys TBH!

lol me too!

 

[Rich]

Wait till Rusty sees the state of that backbox, he will be in tears ...

 

[Gem]

Vinegar on chips is wrong IMHO....but I was hungry

Wait till Rusty sees the state of that backbox, he will be in tears ...

You mean Paul?

 

[Rich]

Salt, Vinegar and Curry sauce jobs a good 'un

 

[Gem]

Hi Treen, thread about exhausts...? I'm sure you're familiar with them

Not one of my fetishes, PM Paul ....

 

[john.med]

Rusty Paul will have 50 coats of paint on his by the time they get to that state.

Still look like that under the paint though !

 

[Gem]

Polished tailpipes do me TBH. Although I did get shouted at for not wire-brushing the inside...

 

[Gem]

Got the clamps today, muchos thankies to Not Normal...going to have a go myself tomorrow.

(Oh dear....)

 

[LegoHead]

I got it off without removing the bumper.:rasp:

You're lucky you didn't crack/damage the bumper then. I didn't want to risk it TBQFH.

Like Dave said, twas the only way, and although I was bugger all help...its a lot less hassle than dealing with a cracked bumper.

I never really thought about taking it off, but will next time for definite!

Yeah, its the ONLY place to wokr on a car I've swapped engines, gearbox's, allsorts there! Do anything me

 

[paul]

Pictures speak a thousand words! :rasp:

 

[Timmay]

good ole paul flol!

 

[paul]

good ole paul flol!

For the record my boxes were in very good conditon to start with before i carried out the task of spraying them! they only had a slight 'staining' were the water from the tail pipe had run down on to them and started to mark them NOT RUST!! but wouldnt clean up with any metal polish! back on Topic now folks!

 

[Gem]

Paul, seriously. You have a problem.


And rust (or rather oxidisation) starts the minute the metal is exposed to air and moisture. So you may not see it....but you're exhausts will never be perfect as you can't keep them in a vaccum

Sod back on topic, just quit posting bloody painted exhausts!


P.S - Try driving your car once in a while, or spend the time you spend cleaning it every spare minute with the missus.

 

[Timmay]

tbh tho paul does drive his car - the really obsessive guy with the cleaning was Rich with his black gold 182 - think its only done 6k miles or something silly!

Still love you tho Rich before you go off on one

 

[Tony Hunter]

Pauls tailpipes keep popping up everywhere I look

Pauls tailpipes keep popping up everywhere I look

I don't think they're his tbh. Has anyone seen them both in the same room?
