Pat I may have got to the bottom of my car issues well I think the exhaust sounds boomy maybe partially blocked in someway inside the rear can I've had this same thing on another car, i stuck a rag over the end and I can't hear any leaks or hissing so it must be blocked ahh well it's the excuse I need to get a performance back box on lol it's just bought it foward now lol

Took my alloys for balancing after work ready to fit, then found the new spigot rings have a bevelled edge for some reason stopping my wheel sitting against the hub. So another few days for the replacements to arrive before I can fit them
New radiator arrived, found it lent against the front door! Thanks UPS for the safe delivery. Lucky one of the Transit driving Magpies didn't weigh it in.
Got a 400 mile round trip to Liverpool Sunday to pick up my new interior
Had the windows on my S40 tinted and also took her for a clean

It's been a long day, up at 3am to get to Liverpool for 8am, removed interior from Evo 5 by 8:30 & back on the road. Lots of coffee, Mc Donalds breakfast's etc & back by 1pm. Then remove seats from my S40 & in with the Evo seats. All fits fine, just need to properly secure the rear seat back as the fixings are slightly different & a centre seat belt anchor as the Evo's don't have one.
Started to take photo' & my phone camera breaks Got one though, will post more when I can.

Looking good Kieran, I have to clean mine on the dirty derv one day.. Atm I am giving it an Italian tune up every now and then,, lol. I gave gatos a drake 2 tuning box to try on his, but he is busy atm with fixing other members x40's to put it on. It would be good to see the fuel/power results from it.. Would have fitted it to mine, but its on 230k plus now, she is a plodder (got too look after these Renault motors lol ) and would like to see 250k on the old derv.. Done the egr before on my old 02 derv.. But need to mot the T4 first, then ££££ around the egr on the dirty derv...

It's not a pleasnt job either pat I cleaned my intake aswell, I thought about getting one if those tuning boxes but they can't give you that much more bhp. Plus people say it mucks youre car up etc etc. I'm having a back box made up for mine mate should be able to pick it up in a few days more free flowing and a nice tip on the end
