ripped_fear Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 So a productive few hours. Big thanks to Colin again The exhaust manifold has been heli coiled, along with a rounded internal drive nut removed so I can now fit my new rad clamps, and lastly the geometry has been re-done. Car feels nice and tight now to drive. Very happy again. Ready for Santa Pod on the 11th! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Managed to get my hands on a 2.5" decat for the second pipe. This is the very last attempt to ditch the weird noise. Also fitted the new HKS pannel filter, and gave her a clean. Going to do some bits on it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus I never knew you'd nearly tried two of everything. I honestly can't even remember what bit you swapped when yours started now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Jesus I never knew you'd nearly tried two of everything. I honestly can't even remember what bit you swapped when yours started now Yeah lol. I change the cats and my old cat-back to a wifbitz 1st de-cat, unbranded 2nd de-cat, and a wifbitz twin box. Since then I have tried my old cat back and now run a different 1st de-cat. So the second will be changed now just to rule it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 So the new de-cat arrived today, and have ordered a couple of new gasket pop in at the same time. Hopefully fit it sometime next week before Santapod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 So following on from my thread gauging interest on the car, I have now received a deposit and she is due to leave my ownership on Thursday the 19th of November. Will be a sad day but have some smiles left with the car to end my five year ownership. Off to Japshow this Sunday, and finally the NEC Classic Car show the weekend before she is collected. So this thread is drawing to a close, and the only mod I will be doing is changing that decat providing I get the time. Just a few pictures of meets to follow this post, then keep your eyes out for a new build following a similar style to this, will reveal all once I collect the new bus.

ripped_fear Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) So yesterday was japshow finale, and had an awesome day. Alot of queing for the strip and didn't get as long socialising on the stand as I hoped for but was good none the less. Got plenty of pictures and videos but for now a couple of shots from the day. Car ran faultlessly on the strip and beat my PB with a 15.4. Going to miss this old girl Oh and THANKS to one arse of a member... aka Attero. I drove round all day rocking this lovely sticker Edited October 12, 2015 by ripped_fear (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
