And to u mate 😁🥳

Yep well as said above cant seem to find the right bloody pipes!! Lol...doing the connectors tomoz after work..

Will see if that does anything but yes think will deffo do the pipes too maybe next week, I guess oem pipes will/maybe cone with the connectors etc, so maybe a waste me buying the connectors tbf lol..

But reading up a lot seem to recommend decent pipes some even the forge ones etc but £70 is a lot for 2 pipes lol 😆 😉

£70 to fix a car, result in my eyes.

Haha indeed...


Well atm all is good 👌😁

We put the connectors on after work..bit fiddly and the bottom one was even stuck on a bit then the end broke off trying to get it off lol !

Took some pics
..

The ones on there literally fell apart might as well be made of chocolate!! Lol.

Squeeze them slightly and literally just crumbled and you can see the o rings in them compared to new ones are absolutely gone, completely fooked lol...

Jesus! Good catch that!

[Norwichdaz]

Haha yeh, almost get anxiety now thinking how foooked plastic is in a mega hot area lol

[Nino]

Yeha I bet, hopefully thats your leaks all fixed now.

Yep will keep an eye on it for a few days but yes atm all.is good...

Google says these parts last 10years... yeah course they do 😆 🤣

I have a few dodgy bits of paint work maybe an inch squared or slightly better where the guy has tried rubbing off a chip then randomly spraying white on it... mechanic at work reckons he could get his polisher machine on it and touch up paint to make them.look better as can really see when the cars clean ..

But as I said I like to make it look nice but end of the day its a daily and getting on a bit...

Doesn't stop me looking at bits for it but I dont think things like exhaust/induction kit is worth it ?  As exhaust once warmed up still sounds alright tbf if do put foot down... and induction kit etc could just play with the running of the engine poss..

Not much else really I could do I dont think?  Also im.40.its not like i go cruising out and about anymore ! Haha...

Back in the day had a couple of civic type r's which i enjoyed tbf.

We are around the same age

Totally get what you mean. Without seeing the paint, I wouldn't be able to tell you if its "fixable" I am abit of stickler when it comes to detailing my cars.

This was my R32 for example


After owning that, putting an induction kit or exhaust has felt alittle pointless to me, I can never match that lovely sound.

But it doesn't stop me trying to make my GTi look as good

Yeh they are awesome mate always loved them lol...

Im 42 lol... yeh I do like to properly clean my car etc too but yeh when clean u see the few blemishes which at the end of the day its a daily and cant expect too much..il get some pics later if can remember haha
