So ive been meaning to do this for a while. About 2 months ago i bought a 306 hdi estate, white, been used as a work horse for years so the bodywork isnt the best but a little tlc and she'll be spot on already ive replaced the clutch as the release bearing decided to shatter
So yesterday i grabbed myself a bargain, 15" cyclone with a tyre thats got atleast 5m of tread left, needs refurbing but cany complain.. cost me a whole £5!!!!
Then this morning my de-cat was delivered going to get it up on the ramp today and see what i can do

Bit of an update. Fitted my de-cat yesterday, wasnt too bad.. worst bit was welding the flange to my decat so it was at the right angle. Afterwards i thought what the hell, gave her a quick oil change got a trip to burntwood tomorrow to pick up some cyclones. Ill add some pictures when theyre fitted.

Ahhh so it has good taste
So just another little update, phoned ces today as i was told they sold 57mm tube. THEY DID £15 for a 2m section. Ripped my backbox off today when work was quiet, cut the flange off the end and took it to my mate so he could weld the flange onto the 2m bit of tube. Got it back and found that he welded it at an angle so it kept hitting the bumper. So the hacksaw came out and i chopped abit ouy of my bumper (tided it up nicely with a file) so now she sounds like a tractor and certainly can tell the difference!
