My car is there at the moment as my new turbo just blew out on me. It is the blue Hawkeye AF06***. A lot of folks find some of the exhausts Martyn recommends are a bit loud to say the least lol.

 

ouch on the new turbo... which turbo was it?
As regards to loud exhaust, i think anything would be quieter than what ive got on there at the moment. It is stupid loud!

 

T36 Turbo Technics

 

Terry what went on it housing or wheel? what boost did you have it running to break it?

 

no idea what went wrong at the mo. I think it was 1.47 bars.

 

Lol, it ain't my advice that steers them to noisy systems, in fact, the 2 systems I recommend are probably the quietest around ie Milltek or Jetex.

 

Martyn i think my system would be enough to make anybody want a quieter system!!

Martyn what power did the Gibraltar bug make in the end? I have been mega hectic all day thats why i didn't ring or reply yet....

 

Sam, any word back yet from that makers of the 'amazing melting exhaust' mate?

 

Well not sure if the exhaust was the problem after all :/ apparently its meant to look like that inside and are swearing blind that it should flow enough.....hmmm, on going at the moment, i'm still reserving judgement on everything until the car is given another, longer go at the mapping

 

be good if all is ok!! fingers crossed for you!!! but would have thought Martyn has mapped and worked on enough cars to know when somethings amiss by now for his opinion to matter hope that all makes sense lol

 

I'm sure Martyn will get her singing in the end just a matter of getting everything right!

 

Not a criticism MJ lol, Save needing to spend thousands on an ice system anyway as u would never hear them over the exhausts!!

 

How hard is it to sell a car in Cornwall !
Had a MX5 for sale here for a few weeks, a 2004 for 2500 and only a couple of calls, cant believe it, one call asked about tax mot which it has and if the price was negotiable which it is and then not been to view!
Had an Alfa estate for sale once a while ago for about 8 months before the 2nd viewer bought it.

 

Seriously know what you mean, had a Van for sale in the summer, and i reckon I could have got at least 1000pound more up in bristol than i sold it for down here. I just had to make the price so stupidly cheap that people were willing to travel to buy it...

 

Hmm, cant lower much more on it but the longer it goes on the les tax there will be on it

Thought it would have sold down ere, plenty mx5s and mgfs about

I got 4 trains 2 tubes and a bus to get the scoob after sorting a deal for the car prior to viewing and stuck to it.

 

anyone have any ideas how wide a rim can go on without and problems ? im going to go for 18's i reckon , not getting them until the new year , width wise im thinking 8.5 ?

 

There are definitely people out there running 9.5, whether they have had to have their arches rolled im not sure. But 8.5 should be fine!

 

I'm looking at 9.5s at the moment, didnt go for the 19s as the offset was abit off and they stuck out of the arches like crazy .... was tempting though. But still have a 'thing' for rota grid drifts in flat black

 

I'll have mine in white mate got those samco hoses sat in my passenger footwell ready whenever you want them.

 

Thanks Sam, just need to try to sort out getting them lol Still find it amazing how something so smiple as a set of hoses can make such a difference to an engine bay!

 

They do look good in there!! My latest niggle in the back of my mind is that i want black samcos rather than blue....damn that corner of my brain that has these thoughts lol

 

Always happenes, never quite happy and find something/anything to change!!! gggrrrrrrr

 

yeah i know, but i really can't change them, am trying to focus on small inexpensive things lol

 

on a car?! what are they then lol

 

I'm in the process of selling the bits of my Legacy at the moment. Not many bids yet, but a few watchers, so fingers crossed .... and if they go well, might have new wheels by the meet next weekend, if the Mrs allows

 

pink sickspeed horn lol

yup, they always do. Hows work going? well I hope.
