[p fandango]

Not a fan of autos then Ped? :lol:
you could possibly say that lol

[cherry1809]

Lol, you have the same rattles and squeeks as mine.
Mates from Brecon and he's always banging on about how nice it....can see why now :)

[callyuk]

you could possibly say that lol

you havent had a ride in it yet im sure i can get you to change your mind:wink:

[callyuk]

what rattles and squeeks lol i just turn the music up :P
and the brecons have some excelent roads a must for all drivers you may even come across clarkson in his merc sl 65 black :wink:

[Jimmie]

Does anybody have a Volvo that doesn't rattle and squeek with the added bonus of rubbish plastics that always breaks.???.

[AlanG]

Me.

[callyuk]

my farther in laws c70 has no rattles or squeeks. however its broken down more than its running lol

[Jimmie]

Me.

You must be lucky,mine has more than my landy.

[AlanG]

Could well be that I'm old and ,and.........and .....em......em.....oh,I remember..........deaf........:uglyhamme

[callyuk]

so as promised a pic of what iv been playing with on amber it still needs a bit of work and iv got new pipe to replace the black one pictured but got to get some silicone joints really however these will do for now.
iv also relocated the airfilter so its now towards the front and iv got pipe ready so i can bring a feed straight into it

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n130/calibra16vuk/Picture-2.jpg

im hoping this will give amber a bit better throttle response as it now has a straighter passage for the air to flow

[JelT5]

whats wrong with your gear lever, it looks like it can only go forward & back? lol

Oi!! Theres nothing wrong with an auto in the right hands ;)

Shifter envy lol

[AlanG]

:uglyhamme

[p fandango]

you havent had a ride in it yet im sure i can get you to change your mind:wink:
i'll come for a joy ride next time i'm down. I'm sure it'll rapid, but i have been used to a diesel for a while now lol

[p fandango]

Oi!! Theres nothing wrong with an auto in the right hands ;)
in the hands of the dismantler i agree lol, only messing


Shifter envy lol

[callyuk]

[p fandango]

im colour blind pedro

[callyuk]

i must say it doesn't look pretty, but aslong as it works & your happy with it then what more could you want (& i bet it cost a bit less than the £200 my RIP kit cost). Did you notice any difference once you'd fitted it?

[callyuk]

yea i know its not pretty but will get tarted up along the way. have noticed a difference yet as i havent had chance to properly try it and im also going to fit the larger pipe across the top of the engine before i do give it a proper go. but in work now till friday so its going to have to wait till at least then

[callyuk]

oh and as far as cost in total its cost me sweet fa and thats the best price anyone could ask for

[callyuk]

had a chance to give it a proper try today and tbh hasnt made that much of a difference although does seem to have sorted my boost spike problem :grin:
Did come across a problem though at fist it was blowing off the boost pipes all over so iv had to double up on the hose clamps in order to stop them comming apart :shock:

[p fandango]

my bro had to double clamp the pipes on his old VR4, think of the extra weight lol

[callyuk]

lol just think im going to add weight again when i replace that nasy black pipe with the bigger bore one i have here thats not quiet ready to fit yet

[p fandango]

what size you going upto? I'm tempted to replace my stainless pipes with alloy to save a bit more weight

[callyuk]

only back up to standard size mate 55mm as the black ones that are on there are a bit undersized at 50mm
