  1. Cool video Dave, goes alright eh?! Love the angle 'motogp' style
  2. Ok tilt your heads sideways...sorry! http://youtu.be/yyWZ2Uzeie4
  3. Got a little one tonight, car looks really slow but its actually going well! Bouncing off the rev limiter from 2nd to 3rd And no exhaust blow!
  4. Good news got the twisted out of shape decat fitted and its not blowing! Will post video on sunday
  5. Oh mate it was nothing like as bad when I had just lowering springs constant bump stop bang! Its either get a new daily or move to Dorset
  6. Yeah could do mate, but its not so much the scraping and going slow that bothers me, its the banging and crashing, its fine on motorways and dual carriageways, but tonight I got diverted on my 30 mile drive home on the back roads, and just a highly unenjoyable experience trying to avoid the crumbling roads, its a absolute joke, its more the roads than my car, the car should be fun but its just not
  7. I know Nik, sending me another, ill have so many here soon ill set up my own shop!
  8. They are sending me a replacement but to be honest think im going to just stick the cat back on, its all just to much aggravation. Also car doing my head in on these roads, to low and to many potholes/man hole covers, think im gonna have to get myself a new daily
  9. Awful really, quality control non existant, annoying thing cars with mechanic all day tomorrow to sort exhaust, brakes and suspension knock, think gonna just stick the standard cat back on , this situation is becoming a joke
  10. Same, talk about rubbish quality! The adjustable one I bought was much much better quality
  11. Just got my second decat, opened it and the end is angled (see pic) is it meant to look like this or just shocking welding/engineering?
  12. Looks much better mate, nightmare trying to get them level, that noise might be wheel rubbing on inner arch , mine used to do that
  13. I go down dorset a fair bit and your right the roads are good! I reckon round here 85% of roads need resurfacing (not even a exaggeration) Just been out in my car and the nsf suspensions knocking bad (the corner that gets most abuse), its no fun, may even have to consider selling and get something boring with normal ride height
  14. Sweet, although read a thing online (i know) but geezer did dyno with spoon and standard and no better maybe even worse, but the kudos of having a legitimate spoon sticker on the car is worth it
  15. Mine were £500 but yeah you can get some decent cheap ones for less than £200. I know what your saying though spending over half what a cars worth on suspension, but the way i look at it, can always break the car for spares when the time comes. I had three scoobys mate 1 x legacy uk 2.5 lux which was pretty good (although lucky to get 25mpg), and I had 2x impreza turbos. Had to have clutches on both mine (£700 job) , turbo on one, both eat tyres like no tomorrow, head gasket on one etc etc. I bought one after having 7 years of reliable nissan ownership, so thought stick with japanese, but these are a different kettle of fish And Mpg is bad, i mean really bad, lucky to see 20mpg, hoon it around and 15mpg, and both mine were just 225bhp Best handling car ive ever driven and sounded awesome, as long as you don mind spending money keeping one going your love it
  16. And while im posting videos heres one of my driving 2 mph down the lane I live in, the payoff for rolling low! http://youtu.be/JUZ_hj3whQQ
