Friday I saved a further 1.5kg from the car chopping out brackets and removing the last of the sound deadening.

Then today the plan was to pop to Rhys (Rhys Beal) house to collect his AST solid topmounts. I ended up leaving 7hours later lol.
Once there Rhy's suggested fitting them so we cracked on, saying that Rhys did most of it, whilst I watched lol.
We then continued to set the ride height of my car all round as it was at some pretty random and different heights.

Rhys's new track project and my car in his awsome garage.


My car in the garage.


Before.


After.




Dirty bay.


And my camber now, will ask Dan at 519 to set it up properly next week whilst its in for some other work!


Car feels alot more responsive on the turn in and a less twitchy in the road. Should handle really well once setup!
So thankyou very much Rhys for sorting it for me, top bloke
Excuse the pic quality, taken on my phone.

Good to see you got some solid top mounts, i think they make a massive difference to the way the car feels in the steering.

[dmallett]

As I was leaving, the first time i properly turned in it made a massive difference. It just turned, also feels alot smoother on the road now.

Also does anyone have a ph1 twin barrel cat with 2 lamdba sensor holes they can measure like this? The sports cat works out at 28" need to know the difference in length.

[Rhys Beal]

I really need to finish painting those garage doors

Was a pleasure working on it Dan, and like I said let us know tomorrow about the pipe.

[dmallett]

I will ring them first thing in the morning

Trying to find the difference in length now.

[DannyR]

I believe it's about 50mm/2"

[dmallett]

Cheers I had read that before, but wasn't 100% sure.

Going to try get my sports cat extended and an extra sensor hole welded on before it goes for the cams. Probably should of sorted it before like everyone kept telling me too lol.

Good man! I'd recomend Power and Performance in Norwich but that's a trek for you...

[dmallett]

Rhys has recommended a place in Bury and offered to help fit it the cat also. Fingers crossed i manage to sort it.

[Rhys Beal]

Remember to tell them that I recommended you and to pay in paper

[dmallett]

Noted! After moaning about my car when i got to yours, the drive home was much more enjoyable thankfully! Also there are alot of pheasants out that way lol

[Rhys Beal]

I am pleased for you mate

Yes there are! Got to watch them as round here they are super dopey!

[dmallett]

Booked in to get the sports cat lengthened, sensor hole added and fitted as im lazy Fingers crossed it goes to plan.

Every little helps

[LewisTaylor]

Good stuff mate! I done the same when I first had my 182 manifold fitted as I was lazier then lol

[dmallett]

I could fit it, but between now and dropping my car off monday I will literally have no time.

Theyve qouted me £50 to fit and modify it, cost me £40 to buy it. No bad all in all!

That's a good price mate I'm really looking forward to seeing how it get's on at FMS once the cams are in and mapped, you going to get it on there rollers before Nurburgring?

[dmallett]

I might take it on Friday 27th just after i get it back as im off work.

All depends on how much money I spend on holiday next week lol.

Do it

[Rhys Beal]

x2 Do it!

[dmallett]

Sports cat fitted and modified for £40. was well happy, checked it over all was good.
So i headed to Rhys's house, and the car got progressively lowder, and sounded so good.
Got there smiling ear to ear and Rhys and Scott agreed how good it sounded, at which point I noticed my back box hanging. So up on jacks it went.

Remember this? Which was welded up.


Well this time it was the back box that had crack, so I twisted the back box and with ease it came off. Fingers crossed i have a replacement stainless exhaust the same sorted.
Hopefully it works to plan as the car is due at 519 monday afternoon.

Oh and not forgetting a video, it sounds f**king awesome!! Just way to loud lol.
