Get rid of that other cat though, it sounds much better without it, far sharper and crisp.

Hmm not sure on that exhaust.Dosnt suit the style of bumper.A single inward rolled round would have looked better.

Will reserve judgement till the bumper is trimmed down though.

Same, I dont think it suited my Gsi.

But it suits the sri turbo, fills the space well. The 3" looks lost.

Should of measured it really, but it was bigger than the system that was on there before, shall measure it to get a rough idea.

Still haven't trimmed the bumper, have loads to do on the car but haven't had time with work and fire call-outs.

The turbo is a nice part, the head set etc isnt so nice, only so I can get the valve stem seals done.

Will see after I get the VXR turbo on, planning the rest of the VXR kit in the future though. Wont be getting a LSD, might need a clutch in the next few thousand miles with this extra power.

Anyways, big box a bits turned up today:







Also pictured is my powerflex engine mount bush.

Been busy buying stuff again recently, decided to go for a dump valve again, old baileys one came off as it was leaking, went for a collins one, should be here soon.

Finally got some colour coded bump strips on the way too, been looking for a set for months!

Hoping to get the headwork and turbo done in the next few weeks

soak it overnight in some wd40 or similar? Surely that would help move the bolt...

Yeah, I really like them. I got mine from LMF brand new for £99, but they are up to £199 now. Should find a used set for about £80 though

Got my collins engineering dump valve today, much louder than the baileys one ever was.

£60 for the collins.

What involved in fitting the M32 box? 6 speed would be nice
