Another wee update, the car was running ace for a about two weeks there then my 4-1 decided it had had enough and burst at the seams, literally!

so ive had to put the standard yin back on untill i can save up for a ''decent'' one.

since last time i have put coilovers on the front and springs and shocks to match on the rear, give a boob jiggling ride, giggity giggty!!

Got a de-cat aswell, no real sound difference but gets the exhaust flowing better. Got hold of a set of valver brakes too which are now on, think they need bled again though.

Also got my silicone hose so i could get my induction kit on.

i also got my spoiler re-sprayed as it was practically white and had no paint on it.

no real future plans at the moment as insurance renewal lingers and i will get bent over nae doot. At some point i want it rolling roaded so i can boost my e-peni$ by scanning the graph on here

Big Thanks to Dougie for helpin out, just ashame his prices arnt as low as his humour... jokin chief

couple of photos from when it was at trix and some after a clean.

my 4-1, cant really explain how the flange bit broke, never hit a bump or anything. you can also see the carbon building up around the air gap, couldnt see the gap when it was going on the car as it had a thin layer of paint which burnt off after about 1 weeks use.

thats the first Ashley exhaust manifold we have had a problem with, very strange how there is so much damage!

However, they do give a full warranty so I am sure they will be happy to sort out a replacement.

Got it buffed last friday and got some quick photos, nothing special but felt the need to share, the car may be for sale soon as my job is hanging in the balance, enjoy the pictotrials and feel free to add you own opinion as i know you are a shy bunch.

i have also got my replacement manifold fitted and it seems to be ok, still waiting on my depo's though.

That astra van in the background looks tasty. The corsa has come up well too.

Well had a week off work and it was sunny for one day so took it as a sign to pic whore. No plans to do anythin, mainly because i work for HBOS and dont have a clue whats going to happen. Looking to get a new shape astra at the start of the year though so the red space buggy may be for sale shortly.
