Matrix, or Oz if you don't mind too much :D

I've skimmed back through this log and I can't ind alot about your exhaust system. Could you enlighten me a bit more with pictures, information and costs?

I think I caught somewhere that you had to remove the battery box? This doesn't bother me as those pipes look so awesome and don't look to have the pair of 90 degree bends per pipe like some of the systems that use a single back box.

Any help will be muchly appreciated chap.

I did look honest! ;) I was skimming through hoping there would be an image of the exhaust in the same post as the information ^_^.

Thanks for repeating it for me though.

EDIT: These two parts don't show on Moss' site, or is it just me?

Your not wrong!! they don't come up on the web how strange? It might be because they are part of kits? I know they do come up on our system at work so I can check the numbers on Monday for you.
Any one interested in the MOT?????? lol

lol thanks for asking...lets say it was different! 15 blokes in total stopped work to have a closer look at the car 5 mechanics 4 boby shop guy 2 MOT testers that were fighting over who was going to test it the garage owner 2 guys from the car wash across the road who offered a free hand wash and dry because it was dusty (which of course i took) and 1 random icecream man :D only two very small niggles the front number plate and the meaty exhaust was a little on the noisy side for the tester who didn't do the test :lol: both of which were over looked. So he lives again tax tested and insured.
Oh and it's super quick as well better than I expected :cry: speedo cable snapped on the way back from test though :o Bloody Moss parts lol

So just to recap a before and after shot is in order me thinks....

That is one amazing transformation there sir!

Your project is an inspiration to us all, I'm sure everyone will agree.

I love that exahust, but after looking at the costs involved, not sure I'll be able to coin it to start with :D. Very impressive system. Don't suppose you'd make a video of her running now would you? Now she's all done and dusted :lol:.

I could say its very very nice, but that just doesn't do it justice really! And as for Moss parts, I hear the Minispares throttle cable is well made?! :- :)

Oh, just remembered I haven't replied to your last PM yet have I? Will do that later tonight!!

Must be the best feeling to look out your window and see that sitting on the drive :) I've said it before, but I'll say it again, the most inspirational build so far, It's quite stunning what can be done with such a poor shell in the beginning.

Well done :thumbsup:

& a quick question, the hinges for your flipfront, where from & how much? Thanks :gimme:.
