Default New Member With Crystal Grey Widetrack!

Hi,

Thought id post up a picture of my Widetrack.

Bought it of a member on here called soviestspybob

80k miles, full history, BC coilovers, cat back, grooved discs, orange stuff pads etc.

I will take some more pictures the weekend when she's been cleaned!





The backbox does look like this currently. Any tips on getting it back shiny im going to try this weekend and see what happens

You could try a metal polish such as Autosol. Depends on the severity of any corossion as t how successful you are

Lovely looking car.
It will be tough but you will need some autosol and either a lot of time, patience and a strong arm, or preferable a small buffer that you can use. Maybe even a wire wool will help but it looks quite far gone !

Thanks guys.

Can anyone tell me if this is a full downpipe and decat or just downpipe?
It looks to long just to be a downpipe?

These Crystal Grey Blobs are getting too common. Need a few more to get broken :P

That would appear to be a full decat.

Hahahaha, are you the one with the damd steering wheel by any chance? By full decat I guess you mean a down pipe and decat pipe in one so I can just mate it to my cat back?

As said, that is a decat downpipe, IF you fit it then you WILL need to get a remap otherwise you will cause engine damage

So instead I went on a buying spree

3inch vortex afterburner catback to go along side the decat and down pipe I also did cambelt and water pump, induction kit, 3 port boost solenoid.

Obviously the dog helps!

So Monday came around and I made my way to RCM so Duncan from RaceDynamix could remap the car for me. What can I say about RCM and Duncan apart from how friendly and knowledgeable they all are. Duncan did a terrific map and the car made top power which was excellent he was really pleased with the figures. A couple of pics and the graph!

352bhp and 330ft/lbs was the figures for today

We arrived nice and early at RCM obligatory picture

Front splitter has made such a difference to the front end. Looking good!
