I was the fool in the Cup

Liking the cage BTW!

 

[Chris_81]

Cheers!

I was drivin slow because my fuel light had been on since Wrexham! Was trying to make it to a Shell garage!

Nice Cup!

Where abouts are you in the Port, Little Sutton? I'm in Great Sutton, often see Jamie on my way to work.

 

[mike1pow]

thought yours look low!

looked like something was hanging out of the bottom though, maybe an exhaust clamp?

Im down in the flats by the Holiday Inn, was going to mill lane to drop the wife off.

 

[Chris_81]

Yeh, it's the clamp on the centre section. It's a Ktec stealth. Sitting a bit low, but doesn't catch on anything such as speed bumps. It must be close though!

Man, mines V002 too! damm u lol

 

[Chris_81]

Man, mines V002 too! damm u lol

LOL!

 

[mike1pow]

how much is it lowered by?

 

[Chris_81]

Not sure to be honest!

It's on H&R coilovers. Lowered all the way on the rear, and lowered just enough on the front so the tyres don't catch the arch linners when cornering hard!

Measured the distance of the cup splitter of the ground and I've got 4.5in of clearance. A speed bump is about 4in I think. First time I went over one after fitting the splitter, I had to get out and check it wouldn't get ripped off!

Have to avoid kerbs in car parks like the plague!

 

[mike1pow]

cool, looking to get coilies on the cup. mine looks like its actually been raised on the front its that high!!

 

[Jamie]

You got the car back chris. How is it running? Well?

It doesn't look that bad!

You got the car back chris. How is it running? Well?

Yeh, got it back on the 25th Aug. Just after the meet up, which is why I couldn't make it. Could have come in the Birchdown van though!

Cars running sweet. Just don't want to push it too hard. Can't afford another major disaster like that again!

Begs the question, what happened?

 

[Chris_81]

Begs the question, what happened?

I had to have a complete engine replacement, after this happened!

I wasn't even pushing particulary hard. It let go at about 6,000rpm on the way to work about 8 weeks ago. :S

 

[mike1pow]

Sh1t!!!! new engine i take it?

 

[Chris_81]

Sh1t!!!! new engine i take it?

YES!

This is what is left of the old engine. My new desk trophy!

 

[Jamie]

Good effort that.

 

[Chris_81]

Good effort that.

 

[mike1pow]

makes a good trophy though! think i might make myself one............ ha ha

I wouldn't recommend it. They're quite expensive!

 

[Jamie]

LOL!

 

[p@blo]

f**k me-you did that properly! How you finding the stealth? Noticeable improvement over the std item?

 

[Chris_81]

f**k me-you did that properly! How you finding the stealth? Noticeable improvement over the std item?

Certainly did!

Stealth is a great exhaust. Will sound quite "raspy" when new. But give it a while and it will sound nice and deep, without being too chavy. I've had mine for about 2 years now and it sounds great! I have had the centre section replaced twice under warranty though! Just got unlucky with a couple of dodgy batches.

But I would highly recommend it!

 

[p@blo]

Fair play, may have to give it a go as My pikey kwik s**t effort has just started blowing. Car felt horrible earlier

Be interested to hear the difference as Jamie & mike run std.
