The Southwest monthly big meet at Exeter - 2nd friday of the month - 8:30pm

[Richy182.]

We dont have a specific Taunton meeting, but if you want to meet up tomorrow we could do something like 7:45 at hankridge retail park?

Yeah that would be ideal cheers

 

[Shifty.]

I'm going out now tomorrow and isn't it the Exeter meet anyway.

 

[Chip-mk1]

We are talking about a convoy to the meet shifty.

Richy. Pm me your number.

 

[BoatNonce]

Us Plymouthians, meet at sainsburies at 7, gives us some time for photos then.

 

[Ed.200]

Well it's subject to weather. If its raining not going to be much point.

Still need to clean the thing and gets plymcl's approval lol.

Or we have to drive faster lol

 

[BoatNonce]

Well, I'm currently hoping for good weather

I'll drop him a text now.

 

[Ed.200]

Meant to be seeing him this afternoon for a clean, as long it stays dry.

 

[plymcl172]

ha ha I like it how you have to make sure your car is clean before I see it lol
all done now was a good afternoon, nice quick clean and some good pics. Look forward to seeing them Ed

yeah will see you lot there from 7pm not sure about the pics now and the weather may be gash by tonight

 

[Ed.200]

Only because you complain when its dirty! lol
THanks for your help! they are uploading now, so will be a while yet!

​See you at 7!

 

[The Fatty]

I should be coming. I will be bring my dB meter with me so if you want your exhuast messured let me know

Whats the plan for tonight? not sure if I should bring my camera as well?

 

[Chip-mk1]

Bring camera as if the weather is good we will go to exmouth, if not no harm in bringing it anyway.

 

[plymcl172]

Be good to see you the fatty

Like chip said no harm in bringing it I have the wax for u also. Hope the weather is nice not been to Exmouth this year

 

[BoatNonce]

Weather's still pretty good down here

 

[The Fatty]

its s**t up hear, but I find exeter has its own microclimate anyway most of the time! lol.

 

[plymcl172]

weather sucks here atm :dapprove:

 

[Michael Woodford MST]

Ill make a guest appearance.

 

[Alexiooo]

I've only just got home from exeter, and given the fact that its awful weather and I'm fookin' starvin', I'm gonna give it a miss. Will hope to come to the next one, and if anyone is going, I will see you at the Mid Devon car show on May 18th.

 

[BoatNonce]

Food's great here

 

[Alexiooo]

Food's great here

I'd struggle with the way my bank balance is doing! It's beans on toast until payday for me!

 

[BoatNonce]

Just got back, good times

Me, Ed, Fatty and Rob (Plymcl) went to an underground car park to find it closed, then Fatty went his own way and the rest of us went and cruised back over Dartmoor through all the fog lol. RIP Bugs Bunny, left his mark on Rob's splitter though :dapprove:

 

[The Fatty]

Yep just got back myself about 15mins ago found the way out in the end! lol.

Thanks for the wax Plymcl/Ed, will be giving it the test on the next sunny day what happens if I really like it? Can I buy some for the source?

Shame the carpark was closed. Next time maybe we should meet a bit ealier and go for pics first?

p.s - is the splitter damaged?! He was just saying tonight how careful you need to be with the CF one!

 

[BoatNonce]

Cracked it.

And a fantastic idea would have been to see what time the place closes lol.

 

[The Fatty]

s**t, bet he was a bit pissed considering he didnt really want to go that way home anyway! My journey home was uneventful; stop in a layby to messure my exhuast noise level, which came out to 76dbA on idle (could test 5Krmp as extra pair of hands needed!).

 

[Michael Woodford MST]

I just got home myself!

Needless to say the DCi performed faultlessly. Really do love that car, so easy to drive and perfect for long trips! Barely have to change gear thanks to the torque it's got!

Pleasure to gate crash your meet. Thanks for the kind words on my little shed build.

pretty annoyed I am but oh well. I could of split it on a humped bridge aswell not sure been so careful but it had to happen some time

good meet and drive people

 

[Chip-mk1]

Good seeing everyone again

 

[Ed.200]

Good to see everyone again, just shame about the weather

@ Plymcl - Shame about the splitter mate, over the humped bridge I hit those f@cking bolts again! exhaust is blowing like mad again. Car looks fairly clean still as well which is surprising.

@ Fatty - its only test stuff to find the best combination for a good wax, that I get given to test, and then pass it on to others

I give you a hand in return for testing mine.

Is it a compression/u clamp? cant you just rotate it so the bolts face sideways instead of down?

Yeah no problems. Can do it at the next meet if you like?

​Yeh if I'm not at work I'll be there.

Edit: I'm at bloody work as per usual

 

[Dan@SJM]

Ill take the cup for you ill make sure there's no BMW's trying to drive at me though lol

 

[Emma.]

You can obviously not be trusted driving a cup Daniel. It's obvious extra power and prowess in the twisties you just can't handle

 

[Ed.200]

Umm its just a standard U clamp that sits over the top of the new centre pipe and original exhaust pipe. But the bolts that hold the clamp tight are the lowest point underneath the car, so they catch if anything is to low and then pulls it, causing it to come loose and start blowing again. Might as well take the thing off and have the exhaust finish just after the cat lol

Was going to see about having it all fully welded but cba

Agh yes the poor mans R32 lol.

Welding is a potential, I never leave a clamp facing down if its the lowest point, I tend to have them at a 90' angle to the floor

 

[Dan@SJM]

Agh yes the poor mans R32 lol.

I found its 155mph limited too.

 

[Emma.]

I found its 155mph limited too.

Yes, I see the need to go faster then 155mph in an everyday situation lol.

 

[Dan@SJM]

I thought its what Audi drivers did? Lol

 

[Ed.200]

Welding would be nice, but then it is slightly irreversible, not that I think its an issue. When I get a chance I intend to chop the ends of the bots off to try and stop it happening.

I thought its what Audi drivers did? Lol

Audi drivers are 6 inches off the back bumper
and BMW's dont come with indicators
