I would have thought thats a really good price seeing as its a good engine. Im sure you can make some good money back with the rest of it too.

manchesters ful of bumpy roads mark, as both my cars have found out! grrrr

my middle box is like that one my corsa, have, i cant get in multistoreys with mie without goin silly slow so its scapes the middle box rather then bangs it,

looks better with the 5*3 magnex ste. 6*4 look to bit and i think they always look a shockin fit tbh

got in a multi story last night with it, only scraped slightly

i've never had any other exhaust except magnex, got to my one of my fav's
wanted the 3" really, but this is a compromise,

next on the plan is to chop away a big of the bumper, and get the tailpipe to sit a bit higher to it looks better
