i have a question out of curiosity , is there actually a uk outlet for tme/mte anymore?
my T4 had a tme exhaust on it and it was very well made and nice sound but i looked on their site last year i think and it said something like not supplied to UK. it used to be nordic years ago when i bought mine.

graham, we do a jetex cat back system just to confuse you with more options . it is the same system as sold with bsr logo as well because they are made by simons.

I think Kalmar Union do them?? I just sourced mine from TME direct, shipped from Sweden......easy peasy process and really good quality/fit but yeah expensive relative to the value of the car now. It's a good system - loud when you want it to be, pretty quiet cruising

Edit: nope, I’m talking out of my erse, the KU website has only Ferrita listed

Actually some of those are not bad ideas !

Let's just say that whatever it is will need to be fitted very accurately for me to be happy and that I have wanted this done ever since I bought the car.

woohoo! I guessed it

NO YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!!!!! You told me about the intercooler..... I drive all that way and miss the juicy gossip!

We have to much to talk about that's the problem!

Just a quick update, I've decided NOT to fit the do88.se intercooler to the car, on my ME7 car it's going to be a very tight fit and I might have to do without the a/c, I spoke to MRG this morning (they did Rudeboy's yesterday) and they say it's a pig of a job and took them 5 hours, granted that did include removing his a/c but fair play to them as they honoured the quote thay gave him

They also said that the standard intercooler should be up to the job (even with a new exhaust) and tbh if they hadn't have come up at such a good price I wouldn't have thought of getting one.

A forum member has expressed his interest in the cooler so he has first dibs, if he doesn't want it I'll be putting a 'for sale' post up.

I still have one very important 'mod' to do this week.....piccy's tomorrow

Ooohhh, is MRP assisting?

[V70 Graham]

Ooohhh, is MRP assisting?

Let's just say he will be present lol, this is probably the most important mod I'll ever do tbh, and I need to have a chat with M-R-P anyway, some things are better face to face lol
