Installed a Scorpion cat back  :cool:




I'd be interested in how that sounds, debating doing the same...

Sounds awesome when on boost and get some lovely pops occasionally, if just cruising it’s really not much louder than stock system with res delete  just deeper and throaty  :cool:

Went out in the Golf, brought this home  :laugh:

I’ve known plenty of people accidentally get in the wrong car in a car park but generally it’s the same model and colour…    :whistle:

:grin:

Wife drove the Golf home, otherwise how are we going to do a big shop!

Dunelm tat is never going to fit in the MX5  :laugh:

@Superscaff I know lol, I did laugh at your comment  :grin:

@SRGTD thx

Fancied something to play about with, very small, lightweight RWD you can chuck about at 1000kg.  I even went for the 1.5 instead of the 20ltr (tested both) as it has no DMF and revs more freely to 7800rpm. Its like an old school car when you could use full throttle for more than 2secs on a B road (like a 205gti or something). Only the western markets got the 20ltr, Japan stuck with the 1.5 as its how it was originally conceived/designed. I def agree, and although the 2.0ltr is faster it didn't feel the same.

No flat cap, or string-back gloves in sight :cool:

I am waiting to hear back from my mechanic about if the two replacement coolant sensors have fixed the issue of my current issues.

The car is throwing up some bills at the moment but I know these are largely wear and tear items or consumables.

Keeping my fingers crossed though.
