Update Time!! ​

Fair bits been going on over the last couple of days.
1st, the car got a good clean yesterday morning, even if the temperature was around freezing. Gave the inside a good hoover and shampooed my mats
I then went up for a catch up with an mate who was back from uni. I knew he was a keen media student and I found out he had a new lens he wanted to try out.. these are the results...

Spot the Punto

I was damn impressed! Hopefully more of those to come soon!!!

2nd thing..
You probably already know Ive been waffling on about getting my exhaust sorted. I dragged my self out of bed at 6am this morning and hauled off to Sheffield with a couple of mates. Obviously stopped for a MacDonalds breakfast wrap!! Took a quick snap with snowy hill in the background.

Then scooted round the corner to Exhausts UK/Cobra Sport!

After enjoying there comfortable waiting room and free coffee, sadly no PS2 though, for a few hours It was done. A Stainless steel Cat back. I decided upon a Midbox, but without a back box with a twin 70mm slash cut tip neatly tucked under the bumper!

Although It might be a tad loud for some, after the 70 mile drive home, the note of the exhaust changed completely from a tinny raspy roar to a grumbly, burbling growl! I am absolutely chuffed!!!
Ill stop waffling now..

Hope you enjoy!

Do it man! You wont regret it! Popping and burbling never fails to make me smile!
Managed to get my side repeaters tinted last night too very dark, but they look good!

When do we get a video of this new exhaust?

Just seen your update on here, good work you got the same setup and tip as me what inch pipe did you get?

 

[ysidfa]

I decided on a 2.5" all the way from the flex, with a short midbox the mid box sits about 10cm from the floor so I think if I went for a thicker diameter pipe it would be a scrape hazard! I was gonna go for a powerflow but changed my mind after seeing a few peoples cobra set ups

 

[Reuuk]

out of interest how much did it cost you?

Haha exactly the same as me. Most people get 2 1/4 inch. Yeah I think so mate, I do need to go back to get mine checked as it knocks on the bumper when I have a full car.

£325 after a littl bit of bartering!

Catchup update coming later on this evening

Catchupdate time

Been a hectic few weeks at work and I feel like Ive negelected my MM thread, so I thought Id put a bit up
Been working flat out over the last few weeks and as the weathers been getting better, the car needed a good clean. So I started out a few weeks ago by using some of @Liam Ferrets tinting spray and did my side repeaters

There quite dark, but they look good imho
I then Proceded to give her a decent clean, Started with Snowfoam, then washed using the two bucket method and lambswool mitt. Then I gave it a coat of Auto Glym super resin polish worked in until it went clear. Buffed off then followed by a coat of Collinite 915. The sunroof and windscreen were then treated with G-Techniq nano-coat. Not a huge amount of work but it gave ok results.

The day after I decided the inside needed a good overhaul too. Front seats were taken out and I attacked the carpets and matts with the hoover!
Actually quiet spacious once the drivers and passenger seats are out

Anyone one know what this is?

A week later, after taking a late night drive around some back roads, I suffered the inevitable...

Word of warning, the Continental Comfort kit isnt that good at all. The silicone and Latex mix did not even set and just p*ssed out of the bead around the rim. Even when the tyre was re-inflated.
But it was an excuse to get 2 new Hankook Ventus V12 Evos

And Finnaly, Ive been meaning to record and upload a video for ages.. so I recorded and uploaded it today

Enjoy!
