Technical Exhaust manifold HGT

[philtvr]

My exhaust manifold,20v N/A, is blowing where number 3 cyl goes into the flange that joins it to the rest of the exhauts. I don't want to remove it as i'm bound to end up snapping a stud off. I can get to where its blowing with my mig welder but am worried about frying the cars electrics. I would disconnect the battery and unplug the ECU but has anyone else any thoughts??

How do you find your HGT ?

I miss mine my girlfriend drives it now, I have a coupe with the same engine

Its ok, my wife tends to drive though. Sold my coupe 20v and bought the HGT as it cost half the money and the wife said it was more practical....

The only thing I prefer about the coupe is the feeling that it just feels a little bit more special especially inside. the Bravo gear stick

I sometimes (as I borrow the Bravo a bit) put my foot down in it and it is almost as though you find it hard to associate that beautiful engine noise with the car you are sat in.

The thing I prefer about the Bravo is it takes the boy racers by suprise, they seem to think it is a kitted 1.6 and blimey do they get a suprise when it accelerates.

i always get daft boyracers assuming i've got a small engine. then they get smaller and smaller in the mirror. fools.

i guess with a 5pot you struggle to see the look on their faces because you've already left them

gear lever is a bit like a sex toy....

People do assume its slow, the worst is the family car, a zafira 2.2, people pull out infront and try to race you.

the coupe did look better but practicality won!
