would be very grateful if anyone could give me any pointers for finding an exhaust. keep getting told that its not made anymore.
If no alternative guess Ill have to get one made
Try the Exile lads. Rich may have something.
Hi Keith,
As we also sell piston parts for most things I thought I would try for you, rung three exhaust suppliers that I knew had been around for years and each had a listing but no stock and not available.
May be able to get one from Mazda if we had a chassis number but going by the other genuine exhausts we have supplied it would probably cost more than the car is worth.
You may be able to take your dead bits to a local old time accessory shop and go through their old stock and mix n match a few bits from say old escorts or what ever and with a bit of welding adapt a few things on.
If not if you can weld or cut bits up and mark them for a welder to glue them together then straight pipe and bends are available to make your own up with a universal silencer on the back.
Hope this helps
Just get a custom stainless one made, they can be sourced for under £300 and be gauranteed for life :D
Yep I reckon contact rich as he has loads of bits and bobs. I have the back box from a mk2 escort that might fit and it has the arch to go overthe diff as well.
let me know if you are interested. Only thingis it is 2 inch bore so maybe a wee bit big?
cheers, michael.
sorry but as a bit of a noob not sure who you mean.
freed up all the brakes and replaced wheel cyl, lucky had spare, so bodge exhaust if poss,replace couple of cracked tyres and off for mot.
engine and box like new lol well should be at 33,000 I guess.
Can we see a pic of the car please?

LOL hi m8 :Thumbsup!
Nice to see you\'re getting the old bird sorted now :yes
Sadly have big change of plans now due to finances and the old girls got to go.
Has 9months mot and 3 mnths tax and was thinking of putting it up for 450.
Do you think thats reasonable?
Far too much, give you £100 for it !
Just kidding, I think 450 is reasonable, maybe even too cheap !
