Won't be going, whenever it is.

Got Bournemouth meet this Sunday, 90th birthday party on the 4th (NOT mine :rolleyes:), Easter on the 10th, Mini track day on the 1st May and Japfest on the 22nd May. That's quite enough... :nod:

lol, nice one... they cost enough so i hope they are liked by others as much as me! (big-head syndrome coming on)

umm... my car just failed its mot :( Only on the gay exhaust though... has anyone got a stock system knocking around from when they put on an aftermarket one? Will buy/steal/beg/borrow/cry for/anything, only need it briefly so i can get the car through its test then i can whack on my (naughty but) nice zorst again... (it was 97db apparently, a fail... *cry*(yet big smile))

Anyone got one? pretty pwease?

hey Jack why dont ya just make a temporary screw-in bung if it's only failing on noise level? Should be easier IMO;)

Try another test station - noise level is not subjective - see reply from Yak below;

I thin kyoull find MOT stations dont have a DB meter making it part of the test kinda tricky. IIRC they could fail it if its missing its zorst or is stupidly lowd but its at there discration and farily unlickly.
Quote:
Reason for rejection

a. Any part of the exhaust system missing or excessively deteriorated
b. A leak in an exhaust system which causes excessive noise to be emitted
c. An exhaust system mounting missing or one which is in such a condition that it does not fully support the exhaust system. 2. A silencer which is in such a condition or is of such a type that the noise emitted is clearly in excess of that which would be produced by a similar machine fitted with a standard silencer in average condition.

Ooops I quoted from the wrong manual... it should read as....




Reason for rejection
1.
a. A part of the system missing or excessively deteriorated

b. an exhaust system mounting missing, or In such condition that it does not fully support the exhaust system.

Note: An alternative mounting device is acceptable providing the system is secure and the fixing is not likely to fail prematurely-

2.
a. A major leak of exhaust gases from any part of the system

Note: A minor exhaust leak from, for example, a connection joint or a pin hole, is not a Reason for Rejection

b. a silencer in such condition, or of such a type, that the noise emitted from the vehicle is clearly unreasonably above the level expected from a similar vehicle with a silencer in average condition

There is a thread on the for sale section of this website. a guy as a whole system. Hope this helps.

have you thought of popping down to sunny swindon for the SX meets, there the first tuesday of each month at the Check Inn Pub, wroughton, just off of M4 J16.

Good luck with MOT, mine failed a few weeks back and FB Nissan wanted to charge 1275.33 for the work. could by another s13 for that money!!!

Will be ready for 6th May.....hopefully. :(

The current consensus is pointing at the zorst, But Chris'll be helping me (read as probably doing all the work :wack: ) check the boost pipes, IC, ect for leaks on Sun.

Hopefully that'll come out OK and I only need to concern myself with getting a feckoff gert exhaust :D

Well erm on Saturday you can compare with mine if you want, I have a 2.25" cat back see my spec for the rest.. Sorry dont have a BHP figure yet..


Edit: Isn't nicelys zorst standard and de-catted?

fullmetalgasket
15-04-2004, 21:34
What make is it? the spec sounds V similar to mine, Same diameter only possibly not the same backbox.
Mines currently a Longlife through-flow jobbie, Chris has seen these cause probs in the past going by a phone conversation I had with him. :eek:

I'm currently being sorely tempted by the Apex'i GT spec on bren's site :wack:
MMmmmmmm, Loud :thumbs:

Christ knows how I'll afford it though.......

Nicely's zorst is now an Apex 3.5" twin silencer jobbie, no cat's :D - very nice and currently in the number 2 slot in my list after the Apex'i (it's over £100 cheaper so highly tempting :nod: )

There's more to it than how fast it feels. Its how much power is available. Look at the photo of the old exhaust. Check out the angle and size of the pipe going into the rear box! :eek:

http://download.jull.info/old_exhaust1.JPG


Now take a look at these two charts. Ignore the power figures. Just look at the curves. In the first chart the red line was with standard exhaust and cat. The green is standard exhaust with decat. Now check the curve on the second chart after the Apex system was fitted with a decat. Nuff said...

I can't remember mine from when I had it done.

But the problem Chris described with the Longlife exhausts was something to do with the backbox I think.
All I remember clearly from the conversation are the words:
'you could see the baffles glowing cherry red'

I'm fairly sure he was refering the the silencing bits of the box being too restrictive :nod:

OK - who invited the morons in the Skyline and the Supra who were having an exhaust sound-off in the middle of the car park? :rolleyes:

That would be me and my friend gary,We were invited down,we are not morons and we werent there to show off,We didnt start messing round until some of your members had already started revving up thier engines,Nobody approached us and asked us not to do it or else we would have stopped and if we were that much of an annoyance why were people taking photos of our cars?

Don't worry about it, guys. It's mine and Jeff's fault for not putting a stop to it earlier. We're all for having a bit of fun. We just don't want to upset the car park peeps as they accept us meeting there every month and we'd be stuffed without the venue.

GTR GAR and stt, please accept my apologies, I think my langauge was a little strong there as I was pretty annoyed at the time :)

However, I still think that people sat stationary revving their engines is something that belongs at a 'cruise' in a McDonalds car park and not at an SXOC meet.

I'd expect the owners of such nice cars to know better to be honest :indiff:

And going by the look of this photo, it might have been me that started it off.

I wasn't there for that but it's not something to be encouraged.....

Also, the Skyline/FTO group looked down their noses at my Punto - and that's a big no-no :whip: :whip: :whip:

Think the engine revving subject best be dropped, as both sides are as guilty as each other so pointing fingers will only end in pointless arguments!

I think we all agree its best not to do it, and also victimising visitors for doing what several sx owners had been doing earlier is also not a good idea. I know both Tim and Gar quite well, they are certainly not boy racers and stopped doing it when asked, will not do it again and were actually quite offended at being called morons, not the best way to promote the club.

As for the punto, you had competition in the form of barts mate in his modded green example :D

Well said..... but I wasn't there when it happened :p

Another top meet :thumbs: A few people expressed an interest in having a May meet (despite Japfest) but I expect the turnout will be a bit smaller for that one?

Agreed :)

And again sorry, calling them morons was way out of line - I accept my slap on the wrist gracefully :o

And all through the land there was peace :cool:

Good photos by the way Nicely, although could you take a photo of mine from bhind the pillar next time, several tonnes of concrete may hide it :D :smash:

I didnt see hide nor hair of ripper either :confused: have you perfected a punto cloaking device or something :wack:

I'll have you know I was there for 6 whole minutes! :nod:

I dropped Mrs.Ripper off at Tescos on the M32, drove round to Longwell and then arrived back at Tescos 1 minute earlier than planned :thumbs: Timed my 6 mins at the meet to perfection :cool:

Jeff saw me and Barry J.Dart, too (who is ace because he sent me some technical stuff through the post cos he's a top bloke :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy ). And a couple of other peeps had a quick word.

Also, it was my Daughter's first 200 meeting! :thumbs: Not bad for someone 19months old. The youngest EVER attendee at a 200 meet, perhaps?

She was asleep at the meet but when I asked her the reason for her lack of interest she said simply (and I quote :wack: ) "Dadda", followed closely by "bus", which is her 'in' word.

At least she appreciates RWD vehicles (unless they make FWD bused?) :smash:

Anyway, when things settle down a bit with my Mum-in-Law then I shall endeavour to attend.

PS My Punto DOES have a cloaking device but don't tell anyone because it's a secret ;)
