Hit 100k en-route to getting it fitted. (now 101ishk) Done 31k on the car now.



Finally decatted the car - Scorpion decat + new clamp. Good thing is this has taken to it v well.. no EML.. runs brilliant.



It makes many of noise bangs and all the stuff

Couple photo's inbetween

Trax prep

Painted top mount cups as mine were tired



Painted the centre of the discs as they looked shit and new stainless bolts. It's heat resistant paint and it wasnt layed on thick FYI.





At Trax

Convy there








Overview of the UKFO Stand







little 3 car convy home



Also fitted a lower brace too and even though theres a couple mm clearance it's doing my tits in so it might come off. It's more of a hindrence then out else. Shame but i cba for the clatter 90% of the time.

Bar that i'm after odd things here and there though no rush.

Only quoted as my post has put it a page back..

I did contemplate in removing it today because some bumps and that the downpipe flange clatters off it. Buttt i'll just hoy some zoorst wrap on the centre of the brace to silence it a little.

It'll not fit anyway

Well little update. Decided to change the old mild Supersprint decat back for the stainless Supersprint one, new clamps and centre bush too like;





new vs old



















Mandatory engine pic. Nice and clean considering it's not been done since Trax (and yes muz, it covers plenty miles )

Few other things inbetween i want doing but otherwise that's it for now like.

Noise wise, it sounds soo much more raspier, not as "agressive" sounding 4.5k onwards as the old bbox but im hoping thats down to this being brand new and not bedded in yet and the rasp simmers down a tad. Like ricing a Honda about lols atm.

[stevo67]

Very nice mr prickle,any videos of it with new zorst?

[Pricklep]

Cheers man. I'll get some once ive put some more miles on it lol.

[Dan-Subtlem]

Looks nice and shiny!! What you doing with the old mild steel setup?

[Pricklep]

Already got 3 people interested in it lol. not sure yet.

[Dan-Subtlem]

Haha, thought you might have.

Cars looking good mate, any other plans?
