new exhaust

[FD3SNuttah]

decided not to bother buying some rusty crap second hand exhaust.

Just won the auction on this beauty...

stainless exhaust

should be here shortly, i will take some pics...

There is a similar but second hand exhaust for sale too ends tomorrow..

second hand

might be of interest to some of you???

[Brett]

Thats the back end of what I have Nas.  I\'m not entirely sure the flanges will match up to the stock system mate!

[grinder]

hugewhip.... i like it

im tempted by the 2nd link to be honest !

any chance of a pic of your back boxes matey ... as long as they are in one piece i can patch them.. pretty please

[FD3SNuttah]

Grinder i will take some pics but im tellin ya someone has already tried patching them by welding and that paste stuff,  and tbh its a pretty ****ty job as there are still holes in them and the pipes/flanges are totally rusted to hell - i dont think its going to be difficult to take them off lol! mate id bid on the other exhaust if i was you even if its a temp measure or stop being so tight and buy a new one??

I can see what your telling me Brett, as it looks VERY similar to the one you got, it might not fit but then again my car already has a decat pipe fitted, even so if it doesnt fit i can always get that sorted and wont cost too much as i know  a guy who works at the local exhaust shop..

Im all over that second link like a rash... need bits for my up coming engine swap

[grinder]

oy - stay away !! LOL

i have looked at it - but its nearly 200 miles from me - looks like a bidding war between me and the bandit !!

Nas , let me know about the boxes - i need ANYTHING to be honest - some pics would be great - i will even drive over , help you fit yours and bring the back boxes back with me ... yeah you can tell im desperate

i would buy an exhaust - but im not spending a fortune on the car when i dont know if it runs ok - once the exhaust is one - i can tweak and play - but at the mo - i just need them fitted - i dont mind welding them up - its something i can do at night - christ - i will cover them in exhaust bandage if need be

[thebandit]

let the 50p incriment bidding war begin.. haha

Why is it all us FC owners are so hard up with cash? i.e dont pay over 50 quid for anything  

[Brett]

Thats because we are careful with our money.  We are not, repeat not a bunch of tightfisted skinflints!

[FD3SNuttah]

grinder what are you like, i just went and had another look at my exhaust and actually i think my back boxes are alright!, its the "Y" pipe which is mainly dead, however mate the back boxes are very rusty so they wont have much time left.. you can have em Gratis in return for a favour!

im at your beck and call .. i kid you not .. i need boxes and i need them NOW NOW NOW NOW ...

sorry got over excited then !!

[thebandit]

whos bidding on the second link then? own up?

[grinder]

its not me

i have decided that a 400 mile round trip for parts just isnt worth it - bid away matey !

[thebandit]

hmmm, who is the mystery exhaust bidder? im not too fussed if i lose this tbh tonight as i got 700 miles of driving to do before sun night anyway... currently at my max bid (FC owners standard rate of 50 quid ) lol

[grinder]

was tempted by the bumper ... but again the 400 miles .. i just cant be arsed !!

oh well tea time
