Very nice Lee. This a spare set or a change?

I think I'm going to stick the road tyres on these and put slicks on the 527'sOriginally Posted by Daz
The car's having some vinyl applied soon which I think will work best with the gloss 530's
Ah very nice dude
New manifold should be with me Saturday. Totes excited!
thats a nice manifold! keep up the hard work! looking good!
Thanks. I'll try but with a 15 month baby to chase after and work going crazy I'm struggling.
Having said that, I managed to get the down pipe off last night as it needs some work. Here's some pics showing how I've plumped the EWG back into the system.
That for track noise Lee?
Yep, no way you'd get away with a screamer on any UK track bar Blyton weekender. The screamer was fun for 5 mins but I grew tired of it very quickly. Car sounds so much nicer now you can here the turbo spooling and the filter sucking.
That will be something else I'll have to copy from you haha.
I contemplated the re-route, you guys might remember the topic. I think I'm going to look at silencers before re-routing, be interesting to see how the set ups would compare but with different engines I guess it's moot.
When you getting some XXR's?
I haven't dyno'd the car before and after but it certainly doesn't feel any slower.
hahahaha
BIG update...
...I've wrapped the manifold.
Half wrapped...
Fully wrapped, wow!
I don't think those cable tie's will last long........ Haha looks damn sexy though!!
I wondered how long it would take. They were just a temp measure. It's now wrapped with steel ties. 50' did the whole mani and the top half of the D'pipe.
I got mine from wardy88 to great bit of kit. Thinking ceramic coating tho over wrap. Who did the screamer reroute into exhaust as looks good. Be good to see our 3 cars together one day
Wardy's a top bloke. Have no doubt in my mind the mani will last. I chose wrap as it's cheaper, a lot cheaper. Local company did the re route. The weldings a bit sh!t but it does it's job well.
Cheers pal
Thanks Lee. Pleasure to meet you good to put a face to a name
Manifold on but WG return is pulling the downpipe out of alignment and the rusty bolts won't budge. Need to angle grind the bolts off and all should fit OK. If the WG return won't go back on I think I might fit a silencer instead.
Good news is it's back together. Bad news is it's running a screamer until I get a silencer fitted. Waters in so just need to fire her up tomorrow and make sure there's no leaks or funny business.
