Scott's Astor 6 - kentiiboii - 21-04-2012
Looks very nice mate. Can't wait to see the plans happening.
Re: Scott's Astor 6 - Scott - 26-04-2012
Cheers lads! Well looks like some plans are going ahead quicker than I though, getting some new parts this weekend. If everything goes ahead as it should then there'll be some more pics up on Sunday, maybe even a video or two
Re: Scott's Astor 6 - Carlos182 - 26-04-2012
Got the turinis on yet?
Re: Scott's Astor 6 - Ed Doe - 26-04-2012

)

I'll try to get them back tomorrow as I'll need them this weekend 
Also the turini's need washing, claying and waxing as they weren't done before they were stored so the dirt has probably bonded to the paint, I'm keeping my fingers crossed it's not too bad though. Once they're prepped they're going on, as they're hard enough to keep clean, they'll be worse if not waxed!

Might stick up the gazebo and do it
Re: Scott's Astor 6 - Niall - 26-04-2012
Scott I'll bring my jack and stands over if you like?

Errm I did that for my engine. Came home today to find several broken bolts and lots of bent bits of metal
Re: Scott's Astor 6 - Scott - 26-04-2012
But you don't have a winning gazebo
Really though, in this wind I wouldn't see it lasting even though it's pretty damn awesome.
If you'd mind Niall that'd be great thanks bud
I'll get mine anyway but could make life easier if we have two sets.

Mine is pretty win tbh. Just clearly the wind was more win!
Will text ya on Saturday once my cars running and running well haha
Re: Scott's Astor 6 - Scott - 26-04-2012
Good stuff
As I said, if you need a hand when I'm on my way back just give me a shout. I'll be heading off fairly early morning but will be coming back to the M25 area at around 10.30/11
Re: Scott's Astor 6 - Niall - 26-04-2012
Ah are you down my way then? Going to pick up your ninja parts?
Tbh all I've got to do is get the water pump in, belt on, inlet on, fill it up and start it.
Also got some new front discs and pads as mine are fooked but this won't take long. Will probably be finished by the time your coming passed anyway lol. Thanks anyway.
Re: Scott's Astor 6 - Scott - 26-04-2012
No worries
Erm well I think once I'm on the M25 it'd actually be a junction in the wrong direction, but it's all good. You've got my number so if you realise you need an extra pair of hands just send me a text. Although I may just enlist your help there and then since I'll have said ninja stuff with me
Re: Scott's Astor 6 - Niall - 26-04-2012
Yeah can do that if you like! I'm going to Ecp tomorrow afternoon so want me to pick up the parts to accompany the ninja parts for Saturday or will you be going to your local place tomorrow?
Re: Scott's Astor 6 - Scott - 26-04-2012
I'll call my place early morning, get a price, and if ECP is cheaper and you can grab it while you're there then may as well!
Well whatever is easier mate. I can come on Saturday, or if you fancy a trip over on Sunday then that's cool too
Re: Scott's Astor 6 - Niall - 26-04-2012
Tell ya what, get a price from your people and text me tomorrow and let me know and we will sort it then.

Re: Scott's Astor 6 - Scott - 28-04-2012
Some of you may have seen my thread the other day with a parcel getting delivered, I got myself some wind deflectors
Kim has them on her 6 and I think they look good but it's also ni e being able to open the windows a little even when it's raining.[attachment=2]

Off to get some ninja parts this morning, hopefully will be fitting today of I can get hold of some other stuff, if not then with any luck I can still get it tomorrow.
Scott's Astor 6 - Matt - 28-04-2012
Judging by that last picture, fooby is there, in which case ninja parts will not be fitted.
Re: Scott's Astor 6 - Scott - 28-04-2012
He was here to get his wind deflectors on his way up north. Don't worry though, I fitted them for him so they were done right and didn't snap
Scott's Astor 6 - Matt - 28-04-2012
But the question is...... Did he fall over?
Hahah
Car looks good with the deflectors on, I'm thinking about them for mine, but I've got other things to finish first lol
Re: Scott's Astor 6 - Niall - 28-04-2012
Scott I'll ring ya in a bit about the parts. Worst case we can get it done tomorrow.
Re: Scott's Astor 6 - Scott - 30-04-2012
Had a semi-productive weekend with the car
As I mentioned earlier in the week, I ninja bought some stuff (although maybe not so ninja, I know some of you have noticed already). I saw someone was selling a magnex exhaust with decat, so jumped straight on that as mine has been blowing since I bought it and I knew it needed doing. Anyway, it was at Pug Performance in Alton (some of you may remember I have a bit of a history with them with the S16, but that's another story) so I went down to pick it up, and stopped off at Ed's house on the way back to catch up and have many cups of tea. We took a proper look at the exhaust, as I (rather stupidly) hadn't checked any part numbers on the exhaust, and lo and behold by the time I got home, Ed was phoning me to confirm our suspicions that it wasn't actually a magnex
Turns out it's actually a mongoose system, which is arguably better than the magnex. I'm not too happy that they mis-sold the product to me, and I'll be letting them know they need to check part numbers a bit more carefully. Also, to you guys, be careful to get part number stamps sent over when buying something like this.Niall and Grant were kind enough to come over today to help fit it (even though it was raining), so we popped up to Costco and grabbed an awesome pizza to set us off for the afternoon. After a few failings along the way, we had some success and got the exhaust fitted. The decat hasn't been fitted yet, as the bolts were spinning when Niall tried to remove the cat and we didn't have a cat fitting kit yet. Also the rear hanger on the exhaust seems to be out of position, so either I need a different mount or the hanger needs to be modified to fit 100% as it should.
It's not currently centred in the hole at the back, so I'll hold off posting a pic for now.
Re: Scott's Astor 6 - 4WayDiablo - 30-04-2012
Pics or gtfo :-P
Re: Scott's Astor 6 - devils_fuel - 30-04-2012
How many people to fit an exhaust lol...did Fooby influence this ? Lol
Re: Scott's Astor 6 - cwspellowe - 30-04-2012
Fecking Spanish inquisition into an exhaust
Mongoose ftw though. Magnex's have shocking build quality, especially the midboxes
Re: Scott's Astor 6 - Scott - 30-04-2012
I've been f*cked about by Pug Performance before, so I wanted to make sure I'd not got less than I'd paid for, hence the searching to the end of the earth to find out what it was.
Not to mention I'm just fed up of companies messing me about at the moment (there's a line of them) so I'm just arguing with every single one telling them to f*ck their couch, so wanted to know if I was adding another to the list haha.
Scott's Astor 6 - Jonny b - 30-04-2012
I think before you use any company in future, you should go round in person and pull your pants down that way you will know if they intend on butt f*cking you, before you do business with them ha ha
