didn't have time for to fit the strut brace in the end and had a bit of a problem doing the manifold, got the down pipe off then realised we couldn't get it off the car, so cut it in half to try get it off, then realised that we weren't gonna be able to get to the top bolts of the manifold so we had to bodge the downpipe back together with a couple of fanta cans and some mesh until i can get it to the garage during the week aha

safe to say it sounds loud as f*ck, not in a good way though unfortunately aha

also need to get the tracking sorted and need to lower the front a bit more as there's a bit of reverse rake going on aha but not too bad an effort for a novice i though! :D









and sticker bombed rear screen :D

I don't think a semi will give the same results
