Post by: Slim Shady on 27 October 2003, 09:51: I'm taking a s/s DTM system like that off my motor - (hopefully have if off next weekend) I don't want it as I'm getting a custom exhaust made.

Let me know if you're intrested.

It's on a 16v - but I assume only the downpipe would be different.

Post by: sKrEwBaLL on 27 October 2003, 09:57: Slim,

Are you still breaking your valver?? If so, what colour is it?
Title: Re:exhaust
Post by: Slim Shady on 27 October 2003, 10:08: it's tornado red
all external panels are bollixed (in my opinion - although I might be able to salvage the filler cap)

I'm sticking the interior into my new valve.

The engine and gearbox also.

My friend is having the leccy windows.

So if you can think of anything that I may have that you need - let me know.

BTW

The car is getting broken in Stevenage - and I live 60 miles away in Windsor. So I'm not able to get the parts str8 away.

Right - how can I help you . . . ;D ;D ;D

Post by: sKrEwBaLL on 27 October 2003, 10:10: I am after a tornado red bonnet. Did yours survive unscathed..?
Title: Re:exhaust
Post by: sKrEwBaLL on 27 October 2003, 10:27: I also need the bit that goes from the locking mechanism to the central locking pump thingy in the drivers door and also whatever holds the pump to the inside of the door

PS I'm in Langley

Post by: sKrEwBaLL on 27 October 2003, 11:29: Slim,

Whats the paintwork on the bonnet like? Is it faded or not? Also see above for some other bits I need.

Cheers
Title: Re:exhaust
Post by: Slim Shady on 27 October 2003, 11:33: The paintwork isn't faded.

BUT

it is stonechipped - it's 13yrs/210,000 miles old

BUT

it is deep tornado red gloss though - been garaged all it's life
Title: Re:exhaust
Post by: Slim Shady on 27 October 2003, 11:34: i'll be working on it - hopefully - next weekend.

I'll see if I can that stuff out - I'm gonna be lowering my new car, so I might get distracted
Title: Re:exhaust
Post by: sKrEwBaLL on 27 October 2003, 11:34: Nice. I'll have it. Do I need to come to Stevenage to get it?

PS Wheres Stevenage? ???
Title: Re:exhaust
Post by: Slim Shady on 27 October 2003, 11:38: nah mate - i'll bring the stuff back to Windsor/Slough.

Steveange is near Knebworth/Luton - ie 60miles away up the A1!!!

Damn - I went to college in Langley bro
Title: Re:exhaust
Post by: sKrEwBaLL on 27 October 2003, 11:53: Thats superb mate. Cheers. Also, I was thinking, if you can bring the central locking pump thingy from the drivers door as well, just in case I've damaged mine (there was a big spark and some smoke when I connected it up wrong) oops! :o

Post by: 90 red 8v on 31 October 2003, 17:58: Went in to halfords today to check on the progress of my exhaust to be told that they no longer can get Magnex >:( It apears that Magnex won't supply them because they are discounting them (thats the reason given by the exhaust place I have just ordered it from, Grrrr full price). Should be in at the start of the week so pics when its on.

Hey Slim shoot me an email off board. My addy is bgodkin@fireflyuk.net. I don't like the system on my car a bit and need do something different. Cheers mate.
