the exhaust is finaly on!
quick pic of the bodge job we did to stop the exhaust pipe knocking on the rear axel
we cut a peice of tyre and put it aroud the axle, then turned the bracket around so the bolts are facing up, hopefully thats solved the knockin.. car is off the road again because theres clattering sound coming from the front drivers wheel now :/
the old exhaust was pretty rotten!

i know right! i was amazed to be honest, made sure we checked all the paperwork properly to make sure ahaa, nice! with the backbox on its given it a deeper note, defo need to get a centre section once i pass, would love mine to sound like that! i think im going to get a k&n pannel filter and drill my airbox next, then i will be sorted untill i pass my test, i want to get it lowered, a HID kit, strut braces front and back, get some lower profile tyres for my cav expressions once the tyres on them have been worn, and thats it that i can think off the top of my head, i would like to do a few things to the interior to make it a little unique what you got done on yours? any pics?
