 cheers,michael.

oh i will Michael

i will take a few pics during the fitting stage

Ok its weekend, Is it on yet

Sunday!!! your getting your priorities mixed up

[Brett]

If thats not fitted by sundown I wont let him have the EGI throttle elbow I have for him... :yes

hiya chaps

well started to fit the exhaust and it wont go on

the gaskets they sent are they wrong size ( well the ones that came with it )

they are both designed for a 3inch system and where it meets up its only 2.5 inch - so need to get a stock gasket from somewhere

so its not looking like it will be on till next weekend .. gutted to say the least

and i think im at the old school meet next weekend - so it could be after that

i must admit - it looks a nice system when i offered it up to the car

Can you not get any gasket paper for the exhaust and make it yourself before next weekend?
 cheers, michael.

Well your full of excuses if nothing else Stu. Exhaust assembly paste will do...........added bonus its cheap.

i have exahust paste - but it says its for filling gaps ??

i must admit i prefer a gasket i dont trust sealant ( or is that just me being silly ?? )

Any more ideas welcomed !

and kev - i spotted a suspect patch under the car before - it felt a bit "soft" - not sure if i can patch it up - will have to see what happens - typically enough though - its about 1 inch after the plate that you welded on for me ( on the sill )

If you used it a bit more stu it would dry it out underneath! There\'s two types of paste one a repair paste the other an assembly paste.

[grinder]

ahhhhhhhh makes sense on both counts !!

so the assembly paste .. just slap it on both faces and fit the system ??

Humm tempted by this idea to be honest

I\'m going to alter your sig to MRC MEGA TIGHT ASS AND LAYABOUT.
See you next weekend at the minimeet and don\'t be trying to get out of it now or we\'ll send the boys round:spank
