That looks the same as what I got. Hope to get it fitted tomorrow after work

[Ed Doe]

Winner They're nice systems, I really like mine

[Frosty]

I got the exhaust fitted today. Pretty pleased with it! It just seems to sit out from the bumper a bit to much so needs a bit more adjust ment I think. Will try and get some pics

[Frosty]

Got the exhaust fitted a lot better now and am really happy with it. Love the sound of it!

[Frosty]

also forgot to say that it ticked over 120000 yesterday

Every Magnex i've seen does that, I think it's just the way they are built.

Bit of an update but mostly bad news. Firstly i changed the cam belt and water pump on christmas eve (cuz i'm sad and don't have better things to do) and got it all put back together and started it up but it was making a really bad screeching noise. So i started to take bit back off until i found out that it was the cam belt cover rubbing so i losened it off for now. i hope to sort it out today after work and i think i know what it is. i will update later on how i get on.

I am glad i replaced the cam belt though as the water pump was really bad. It had a lot of play in it and was pretty noisey when i spun it up. I think it was only change about 3 years ago when the head gasket was done. Think the belt may have ben done up a little to tight.

And for the second bit of bad news it looks like i need to put another rear axle in.





It's not the end of the world as i have got a spare 1 but just something else to put on my to do list. It aint rubbering at the moment so not a massive rush to do it. I will prob do it when i fit my braided brake lines as they as easier to fit when the axle is off the car

[Ed Doe]

Crikey that's fair bit of camber (y0h!)

[Frosty]

It does look pretty bad. I had a feeling it was gone! I think it made a difference having it on a completely flat surface

Copying me now mate :p let me know if you need a hand with the.beam

Thanks mate but I should be alright as I will do it down work on the ramp that makes it slot easier!

[rocker8742]

If only mine was that easy lol

[Frosty]

I have sorted my cam belt cover rubbing noise which I'm pleased about. I had lost the rubber bit that goes on the pin that the cover locks into place on. That's 1 less thing to worry about now. Hopefully get the axle done in a couple of weeks time

Lol that looks costly

[Frosty]

Just a strut. They hit a pot hole, think they must if been going pretty quick though

[Tom]

Mad camber bro!! In all seriousness though axles are failing all over the shop atm!

Yeah they do seem to be but I suppose it doesn't help when most of us replace our knackered beams with 2nd hand beam that we can't be 100% on the history of. I guess the best way would be to get a reconditioned axle but that's very expensive

[Frosty]

Got a few bits turned up for this the other day. Firstly theres a set of longer bolts for the srut brace



and them fitted



and also got a set of braided brake lines



not fitted them yet as i will do the rears when i fit the rear axle and will do the fronts when i fit a gti6 master cylinder and also get another caliper painted to go back on

[Frosty]

A few snow pics









Hope to get the braided lines, near side front calliper, gti 6 master cylinder and rear axle all fitted this week

[ozonehostile]

Cheers. Will be at the rolling road meet on the 2nd! Your car is pretty awesome, look forward to see it

[ozonehostile]

[mr_fish]

yeah i know it amazing how i had so much and just down the road had like nothing. I went to exeter on friday for my MOT course and there was like nothing andin honiton there was a fair bit

[Frosty]

So I stayed on at work the other night to do a few bits. The plan was to fitted a newly paint near side front brake calliper but that plan went out the window when I realised that I had been a idiot and paint the wrong side 1. So I fitted the 1 I had paint to the other side anyway as the paint was a bit shabby on the driver side 1. I did fitted the front braided brake lines though. They have made to pedal feel pretty nice.









I'm going to fitted the rear braided lines when I put the axle in which I hope to do on the weekend and I will see what the brake pedal Is like to decide wether I put the gti 6 master cylinder on.

I also got a slight water leak from 1 of the bleed screw which I should have to bits coming from peugeot to hopefully sort it
