Dave F Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Received my nur spec r from hy-performance today (Cheers Chris ) and I was wondering whether to get it fitted by someone on the forum, get it done at a local garage or do it myself (if its not too much of a pain in the arse). What would any of you guys suggest?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irvy Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 had mine fitted at the local garage. I was on my way in ten minutes with a huge grin on my face!! and it only cost a tenner!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Take it somewhere local that has a proper ramp. I always get my stuff done at the local Kwikfit and pay them cash, which they pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 It's very easy to fit but you'll need to lift the car. It all depends on how competent you are though ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 I suppose if its only going to cost a tenner its not worth getting a back ache an grazed knuckles. I popped into a kwik fit near me a few wekks ago and they said they wont fit aftermarket exhausts (lazy bxxxrds ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Well...if you fancy coming up basingstoke direction, I'm sure I can convince Graham to fit it for you... Chinaman can vouch for his work,as can a few people on here. Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Take it somewhere local that has a proper ramp. I always get my stuff done at the local Kwikfit and pay them cash, which they pocket. Same here, can't complain. Thought it might have been a cash in hand job when he dug my change out of his wallet :upside: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Almost any time, 'cept wednesday nights... Jam it up on the lift ramps, and take off the old one, takes about 40 minutes... http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?p=375596#post375596 Probably around 20 quid...
