ed-bradley · 2nd December 2011, 21:59

Sophia_Bush · 2nd December 2011, 22:23

Simon0014 · 3rd December 2011, 14:41

Sir I believe I owe you a 5 sheet haa. Come and collect when you wish

Exhaust looks tasty! Love how you have it on the kitchen top!! lolsibub

saxova · 3rd December 2011, 14:44

I have the same backbox as that!

Is that all OMP exhaust though? Lurrrve the raspppp mine gave. Even on 8v's.

ed-bradley · 4th December 2011, 01:32

haha, I'll hold you to that Simon..If we ever meet

Lol, No way I'm putting it on the floor! Atleast its not gonna get dirty or damage on the kitchen top. And mothers not here to tell me otherwise

Yeah Brett, all OMP. I'm still not sure which system it is though, Inox? or something. The backbox 'looks' to have been painted black, as some of it I've polished off on the tip. But yeah, I'm chuffed with it. Can't wait to hear what it sounds like!

Tom5190 · 4th December 2011, 01:43

ed-bradley · 4th December 2011, 01:46

Ok mate well ive got one here if you want £15+ P&P (be about 5-6 for postage i imagine). stainless just been removed from my car. Its got a small dent and scrape from it catching on speed bumps etc but nothing too bad.

ed-bradley · 4th December 2011, 01:55

Ahh Sweet, I'll take that then. If you wouldn't mind holding it for a few days/week?

Tom5190 · 4th December 2011, 01:57

Yea mate just give me a shout when you want it

So are you driving this now?

ed-bradley · 4th December 2011, 02:01

Awesome, nice one

Nah, unfortunatly not. The tax ran out the other day, and I didn't know how soon I would get it running so I sorned it. I'm going to tax it on Tuesday once i've been paid.

Although, i'm gonna have a cheeky nip round the block tomorrow once I'm back from the NW meet, as I need to bleed the coolant, and see how it runs. I haven't even driven it off the drive yet. So I'm unsure whether it'll work 100% -_-

Im sure it will be good, you need to have faith! i started installing mine at 10am with a 300mile drive planned the next morning! when i left work the day i did mine i didnt want to get out like i loved it.

Simon0014 · 4th December 2011, 08:22

Thats fine with me a deal is a deal after all!!

Yeah I was thinking hmm bet mother would be pleased is she saw that haha!!

ed-bradley · 5th December 2011, 17:09

Got the car back home today, Running.

but, running badly.

Was alright when I 1st started it this morning, but I had to take the top half on the inlet off to connect the Servo hose, and now its Mis-firing. I need to change the plugs anyway, so I've ordered a set. If that doesn't cure it I'll test the coilpack, and injectors I guess.

saxovtrmk1 · 5th December 2011, 17:53

double check you havent desturbed anything sensors on trotlle body etc seems strange that it was ok and now isnt after you touched that matey. the coilpack was nearly new iirc.how did it go power wise?

ed-bradley · 5th December 2011, 17:56

Iye, I think I may have forgotten to put the Vacuum hose from the fuel rail back on. Lol
I'll check the rest of the sensors though too, and everything else i can think of.

Err, power wise I've no idea, The brakes were god awful. The servo hose must have popped off or something, as I drove back home with no servo assistance so I didn't even contemplate going over 30 Lol. But it deffinatly feels alot better, even with a misfire!

saxovtrmk1 · 5th December 2011, 17:57

i forgot to put a hose on my mates vtr after clutch change just breather on manifold was revving like fuckkkk haha
