Asking for problems mate on a lowered car with the pipe under the front cross member. You need to bend the vertical support of the lower cross member in so that the 180 pipe goes round it while being higher than the bottom of the cross member.

[Just Sean]

why did you go under the car that way and not the other way?

You would use less pipe if you went the opposite way underneath!

[Dum-Dum]

^^ A/C pump in the way mate.

[Jonny81191]

No I agree there, they don't have look quite right. Vaughan seems to think they're pr1's though.

[4WayDiablo]

I've had a set of pr1's and they didn't look like that

Also.... Common sight?

   

[Jonny81191]

Vaughan clean the goddam bus!

[vlj]

So.. this car has been through a fair bit! Last summer I sold it to Scott, who ran it for a few months before selling it to Ruan. Ruan lent it to Stu, and it's worked its way back to Ruan in Bicester, who has kindly given me the keys to get it back on the road.
Surprisingly there isn't a whole lot to fix. The intercooler was absolutely f*cked and leaking like a sieve, so yesterday myself and Ruan set about fixing that, it's now properly secured - and not leaking. Needs a bloody good clean as it looks like it's been through hell and back..
Hopefully get an MOT on it next week, just need to sort a few bits like the airbag light and a general tidy up to make it look mildly more presentable!
Luckily our overly kind boss at work has given us private land for the car to stay at and work on -- conveniently with an MOT testing station just behind!
