Gus, we can have a go over the weekend if you want. Before I lose my touch! 10m of tape is plenty. Just keep the coffee coming...

Steve, your car must smell like mine now. There's nothing like the smell of Optimax in the morning!

Abby, Third time lucky? You've watched me change enough exhaust bits now so I think you've served your apprenticeship

 

Mark,
Downpipe hasnt arrived yet from hayward&scott and the exhaust wrap will not be in stock until next week, so I will have to wait until next week. Im in a car school for work so I might even start mid week cos I woulnt need the car during the week.

 

mark,steve,
Fogot to mention yesterday I went to tescos garage to wash the car and getting washed infront of me was one of them ford rs focus thingys that was on top gear first one Iv seen round here.

 

Time served exhaust-meister now!!!! effin eck it aint half loud!!!
Crawl up my road doing 15mph in 3rd now so i don`t annoy the neighbours

Gussy, all you need to do is lay it on a bit thick with wendy and scoobyworld, phoned her yesterday dinner time and explained that i needed the backbox by today and even threatened to kiss her at the NBO and bugger me if it wasn`t here at 9am!!!!

Just gotta hope she`s:-
a) not married and
b) gorgeous!

 

I've met Wendy ...and her husband

 

Gus, should be free any night next week. My social calender isn't that hectic! Give me a ring when you've got everything.

 

Mark, Gussy, Abbeylad, Rusty and all

Please help a village idiot from the carlisle area about full de-cat...for my MY01

In my tiny mind I have the exhaust gasses leaving my engine and going into the UP PIPE with a cat in place...hitting the turbo and then going into the DOWN PIPE and going into yet another cat before dissapearing under the drivers seat area.

I have the centre cat removed and also the resonator so the next thing along the pipe is the Magnex back box (shiny with solvol autosol-thanks Rusty).

To remove the cat restrictions I would therefor need (in my tiny mind) a new UP PIPE and a new DOWN PIPE which would be simple pipes...as available from Hayward and Scott.

Does this make sense??


Thanks for your patience

Midlife...

 

Hey Midlife, you're catching on! Thats right. You need an up pipe and downpipe to remove the other two kitty's in your system.

ps If you think your mind is small, then how much smaller are ours, the sad men that we are?

 

Mark

Thanks for the quick reply, and on a Friday night...my other half is watching Midsomer Murders with that John Netles bloke....if you think Scooby ownership is sad that has GOT to be ten times worse !!

I'll just look at Haywood and Scott website if they have one

Midlife...

 

Mark

Just tried "http://www.haywardandscott.co.uk/subaru/index.htm" and await reply on how much...


I guess Rusty would have made it Clickable..

Midlife..

hope to see everyone at the Sportsman next Wednesday

 

AHHHHHH!

Mail returned from the Haywood and Scott website..lets try Scoobysport!!

Midlife..

 

Try secondhand.

Steve

 

OK here'scoobysport stuff...does this sound reasonable.

Downpipe open neck 3" to 2.5" WRX/Sti 2001-2002 £223.25

Up pipe WRX/Sti 2001-2002 £146.88


Thanks again

Midlife..

 

Is your head a bit clearer tonight than it was this time last week Steve?

 

Steve

Thanks for the tip about second hand. I've not looked before.....Good Grief..I've just spent (in my mind..tiny though it is) my annual salary !!

Cheers


Midlife...

 

Midlife,Mark,
Midlife forget trying to get a downpipe secondhand there as rare as rocking horse sh** Iv tried, in the end I bought a new one from H&S came on thurday so things might be looking up for fitting next week Mark, still waiting for my cel fix to arrive tho and the exhaust wrap unless somebody knows where I can get some locally???

 

Gussy

Silly question really but how much was the downpipe from H&S, this seems to be the pricier of the two!!

Cheers

Midlife...

 

Midlife,
If memory serves me right it was about £220 including vat& overnight delivery for the downpipe.The uppipe I got second hand on scoobynet in the for sales thread for £50.Both items being Hayward&Scott.

 

Gussy

Thanks for the mail....about £220 for the H&S downpipe looks pretty standard.

Ian at Stan Palmer sorted me out with the TeK2 no problem (back of the net as Gareth Cheesman would say) and I am waiting for SECS to be fited there as well.......I'll drop him a line about de-cats and see whats on offer.

Cheers


Midlife...

 

i have a feeling i`m not gonna be able to get away with the noise my afterburner`s making (i.e. moaning neighbours) has anyone any thoughts on the magnex resonated centre section? (£115). Will it have much effect on power? Don`t really want to get rid of the afterburner coz it looks good, or should i just sent it back to scoobyworld and get that new Ninja box?

Thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Ab

 

Abby,
Either 1. Move out into the back of beyond where nobody can hear you.
2. supply your neighbours with ear defenders.

3. If all else fails kill them.

just a thought!!!

 

What have they been saying? Have they actually approached you or just shot you dodgy looks?

 

Oh f*** it. Heres a post for 500!

 

at the next meet we will end the run at Abbys to have a <chat> with his neigbours

Earplugs at the ready .

 

nah nothings been said yet but one of them is a right **** so i`ve no doubt he`ll have a twine about it when i set of for work at 5:15 on wednesday morning. Bollox to them! i put a post in GENERAL about noise levels and it seems if anyone complains i`ll get sent to an MOT station to have the noise level checked, so i won`t get a resonated centre until i have to, but the afterburner stays!!!!!!!! and thats final!!!!!!!

Cheers

AB

 

Don't worry about it. I thought my car was quite loud until someone round the corner bought a TVR Tuscan!

 

Hi Guys,

Sorry I've been in hidding ...getting ready for the reccy raid into Europe going to Ghent in Belguim via France as Tia is presenting at a conference

Midlife, clicky link to Hayward & Scott as requested... have you also had a look on Wendy's ScoobyWorld website?

Hope you all have a great time gatecrashing the RSOC meet in Kendal

Cheers, Jon

 

Rusty

I've been to Ghent in Belgium, are there still two economies running there (the black and the real one)??

Midlife...

 

Europe MMMMMMMMMM !
rusty is checking it out as part of the <vision>

 

Rusty

Thanks for the help...strange how this thread had become a bit of a cult....quite a few people call me that.

Still on the trail of an de-cat up-down pipe for my MY02...I'll give "Wendy" at Scobyworld a go as suggested...

Midlife...

Still have the napkin
