hey guys,:WaveBye

just bought a black fc as a bit of a project. structurally it is sound but does need some work.

first of all there is no exhaust on it, it fell off:eek
where abouts is the best place to get an exhaust system relatively cheap? and will the exhaust systems from the turbo model fit?

also what do i need to be replacing on these in a good service? ie what are the niggly little things that only an owner would know about?

other than that it needs new tyres all round, discs need replacing and the calipers could do with freeing off a bit, and there are some dents on the rear offside quarter that i need to sort out.

its a bit early for this post

but it depends where you exhaust has come off from - as a FULL turbo one wont fit

congrats on your purchase though and welcome to MRC

you only need one from the cat back and im guessing that yours has probably broken at the Y pipe

buy this one and it should fit if you retain your stock downpipe.

Yup, Calipers would be my first port of call, they do tend to stick quite badly if its been stood for a while.

Check things like the Wipers work on all stages and park, the lights Pop up and don\'t stick.

But apart from a Good service if its Not rotten like so many out there you are well on your way.

Good luck.
