Working on the exhaust as we speak brother. Funny you should say that as the real nyr is to finish the mk1.

Chris Preen Likes this.

Nice to see you've perfected the method. Shame your not cutting out the wheel well.

Yeah, MK1's being finished in 2011 - I'd like one of those too! I need to sort the exhaust out before 24th Jan BTW (PTTR again).

[Mr. JLT]

Looking good bro!

[Jarred]

I like your new year resolution

(and ima keep busting your balls till its done )

all buttoned up, fair amount on the tig but worth it, v-band clamps are so so good never will i go the flange route again, and no gasket to boot.

sound awesome nice little rumble at idle and a nice depth to it, time for a test drive to hear it with full spool.



nothing new here











subtle ish 3"dumpy

:O
my knees have gone weak!

[alex g]

What nothing about the mk1 , don't tell me he approves.

Lol

Oh results of the drive are umm hectic , sounds like a breathing dragon , seems to have woken up all the motor noises, boost ,dump and exhaust. Gee the missus was happy when I pulled into the garage, it's like is that the noise your car makes now, you've just ruined it , your not 16. Could have had a little to do with the pass up the road on full monkey.

So it needs another silencer then?

10/10 if it's that good!

[Mr. JLT]

Release the Franknstigle mate!

[Jarred]

Got temporarily distracted!

Needless to say you bolt together a very tidy package!

However, I know what I'd rather be listening too...

[alex g]

I think my main problem is I enjoy building , designing and creating cars more than the actual finished product. And honestly the mk1 is so finished its not funny, even down to the full custom loom I built for the microtech and so on.

And damm that motor does look awesome and can't wait to turn that one over, and the noise coming from that will yes be nicer.

[Preen59]

You and I are 2 different people. As much as I like building stuff, I like using and maintaining it a lot more..
