Wahooo!
« on: 23 April 2007, 20:01 »
Finally today I got back from work and decided whilst it was still light to replace my exhaust, so I jacked the car up, removed the Rear LHS Wheel and removed the old exhaust.

The best thing is the new one is just what I was looking for, it's abit throaty but.. it doesn't sound ridiculous and when it's idling / reving normally it doesnt sound ridiculous! I'm OVER THE MOON! WOOO!  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Anyway.. here are some photos (turns out that the exhaust that was on there was actually a "StateSide Cherry Bomb"  :shocked: (no wonder it was so loud! LOL)

Anyway here are some photoz!

ive actually heard that having discs does nothing for the braking on the rear anyway, its simply just a cosmetic feature..
your best bet is to upgrade the size of the front discs, get decent brakes and pads and get a mk2 servo..
and also its a mk1, so brake just that little bit earlier..

I've never heard that to be honest, but it's supposed to make a difference if you also relocate the brake servo to the other side but is a b1tch to do. :smiley:
