Looking good mate, found yourself spending more time watching the needle rather than watching the road yet?
Don't worry, that habit wears off after a while lol.

guess you could save money if you are able to remap yourself and fabricate a custom exhaust etc, which i can't

Yes mate got no label though but made in the same factory with same materials and same quality but half the price

**merc85** · Monday 14th May 2012, 21:46

Like to see the break down of the prices, we all know a full custom exhaust can be expensive, Does that include a race cat?

Full exhausts can be expensive. I was quoted £700 for a turbo back custom exhaust, with 100cell race cat. When i had my s70r.

**gsxrboy** · Tuesday 15th May 2012, 09:00

its a full turbo back system with sports cat, they originally quoted 299 for springs inc fitting and alignment, 499 for remap inc before and after dyno runs, and any runds to tweek the setup, and 895 for the exhaust. and it will cost me about £3 in fuel to get there and back. i factor in travel costs. also i don't have to take time off and as i'm self employed one day off is £200, so another factor to consider

i'd have to have time off work, i'd lose £200 a day.

I'm certainly glad I can do all my own work, I could no way justify that sort of money on an old volvo.

i would if i could, i do modify my bikes and do all the work with the exception of spraying, most work is bolt on but i have modified a frame in the past, not a task to be taken lightly. but, in doing own work there are no warranties etc, so peace of mind comes at a cost i guess.
