iv been told that the stainless steel manifolds dont really make a huge difference and the standard one is just as good
Would it be safe to drive that the fifty miles to your place Gem?
emmmmmmm poibly not, as it wont be running rite and posibly flood its self and also all ot the weight is now hanging off the oil and water lines which couuld snap,Quote:

Picked up a standard manifold off Gem today, for free. Gem for President. :D Went at the car for a litte while, got the broken manifold off, then ran out off tools and daylight, so the flange is still attached to the turbo. I'm going to have to go tool shopping tomorrow and buy something to get in at the bolts holding the flange to the turbo. My, eh, spanner is too big. :D
Your spanner can't be that big if you haven't gotten control of the flange :DQuote:

If there was hair around the manifold you'd get it in!Quote:

And if it didnt go there it was gonna go somewhere else
(note the cracks on the last two pipes)

Got the new mani in, got a flexi on the exhaust which was much needed, even at the ride height its at now. Basically got the front end of the car taken apart with regards to lights and bumper and put back together so that it doesnt look like the lights are gonna fall out. He also did a heap of wiring in the lights to put things where they should be cause i had poxy indicators and no parking lights :) My seats that I bought are in the garage still but should make an appearance at some stage when the rails are finished so big thanks to Gem, the car is driving a hell of a lot better and looks a good bit better now!
My bumper got a makeover until a new one becomes a priority

althought I'd love to leave the car like this :p
http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w...zy/180/007.jpg
and for some reason Greg installed my sub back in, I think talking to me on journeys was getting too much for him. He's invented a pioneering way to keep boots open
Plus you might notice ive stolen his new wheels :p

Oh, and I got tax :D That is all.
Now bring on the NCT!
Keli I love this car, the colour of it really suits it. Looked sexy on Sunday
Love this car! :D
I felt pretty bad for my car because it hadn't been washed since before it snowed!
Greg washed and waxed it for me when I was in work the other day so I took that head start to spend the day givin it some lovin :D
I polished it, waxed it, attached my two registration plates (cause I actually only had half a one on the car for the last three months), vaccumed the inside, got rid of all the rubbish, cleaned the windows and put on my new DI stickers :)
I don't think the pics are important enough to warrent their own thread, soooo here they are :D

Haven't updated this in a while.
If I were to fill you all in on everything that happens with this car there'd be a bible!
Broke down on the way home from work the other day, turbo wasn't spinning so had to get my breakdown service to come get me. In the light of a new day it was just this *embarrassed face*

Put some of this crap on to make it look a bit more interesting (will get finished pic in the morning)

Got this off a member although it's living in Tipperary until I can get it to my house

The day the car was supposed to have its NCT in May it wouldn't start on the morning (typical) so I finally put it through the end of June. It failed on really stupid things tbh.
One windscreen washer not working, missing a wheelnut, missing a bolt on drivers seat, wing mirror insecure, ball joint worn, insecure battery, wiper mounting worn. Myself and Greg fixed most of the bits on the driveway and thanks to Mr.Denis Healy the ball joint and wiper mount were sorted.
Retest was today. BOOM! :D

That's it for now, all very interesting I know.
Next on the list...hopefully a kouki interior and a service! ...poor car desperately needs an oil change :)
