Right job for 2moz is to move the exhaust brackets round as their stupidly close to the floor right now and I scrap just getting off my drive lol. Other then that I am very happy with my new exhaust. Sounds nice and meaty but isnt stupidly loud like the DTM was. I'll get a video soon.

Been using the car over the last week or some. Very happy with the new exhaust! I do have a slight running issue though. Seems to be miss firing a lot and has quite bad flat spots and doest really want to go much over 60. Hopefully this shall all be sorted out soon. Also MOT come up on the 7th some I'm not looking forward to that!

Right my GF's dad had set the car up for me! Its the best its ever been. No more blowing from the exhaust which is nice. Shes so bloody quick now as well! I'll get this vid of the new exhaust soon as well! Apart from that nothing major has happened I bought some chrome hub caps at Malvern which I'm gonna rub back and paint old english white and fit them to some black banded steels. I also got bored of the stickers I had down the drivers side rear window so took them off and put some different ones on the other side.



Also been working on turning a Jager bottle in to a screen wash bottle. Not gone to bad I just need some thin bendable metal so I can make a bracket for it!

Thanks for reading!

Right sadly she failed her MOT. Only on stupid things though. Her indicators stopped work this morning before the MOT. Typical mini. Need 2 small bits of welding in the boot. Just having patches put in for now. I'll put a new boot floor in once my red cars back on the road. 2 new bearings and a new ball joint and the indicators fixing. Bits I could really do myself if I had the time and motivation but with working 6 day weeks and it getting dark early now and the weather being not too great I'v decided to have the garage do the work. Should have the car back by the end of the week! The only advisory was to have new bushes on the suspension but I may treat her to a full set of shocks after crimbo anyway so that can be done then!

Mine did the exact same thing!

I have her back now with a full years MOT! Because of a bit of welding she needed doing she now needs a spot of paint under the drivers side rear light which is a pain, but the bit under the fuel tank still needs doing and as this is more visible I think it may give me some motivation to get them all sorted. Apart from that I'm just glad the cars back on the road!

Right slight update. I bought this the other day.



A Jap style tow look. A mate of my currently has it as he's powder coating black for me. It's going on the rear. I think I'm just gonna bolt it straight to the sub frame. I'm not gonna tow anyone with it anyway its just for show.

Also I gave these to a mate today.



I'll get them back in a few weeks time but their be 7inchs wide! They will then be painted black. Too excited now. Its like Christmas come early.
