congratulations; great feeling when you actually get hold of the keys and its yours...just have to suffer it being shipped..but then you get to have the sense all over again.

Just in time for winter - rain, salt, snow...

I bought mine in November 2 years ago and it was so frustrating waiting for nice weekends to take it out. Still, last years summer made up for it.

You'll get no sleep for the next few weeks you know waiting for it

Look forward to seeing it in the UK sometime soon...

Corsa exhaust with 4" tips. Smooth tubes and filters. Roe clutch spacer. B&M shifter. EBC green brake pads. CAGS bypass. Hi-flow cats. Snake oyl floor mats. Factory car cover. MGW additions. Always garaged

[Viper]

make sure you get the OE tubes/exhaust/cats as well else you might have a devil of a time getting through the SVA. Great to have some mods all ready done

Your welcome to borrow mine but i'm in Kent.

where are you based.

I've got the OE tubes and the euro restrictor for the airbox you can borrow, you just need some stock used air filters all this will slow the airflow which helps reduce noise.

101Db is your goal for a SVA pass !

[carl55]

You are a friendly lot!!

I am going to like owning a viper!!

carl

[woolfie]

i have the stock rear assembly with silencers from a 97 GTS, sitting in the shed, but thinking about it - prob not much use as its a euro spec. There is also a guy near me with alot the spares from the ex-silverstone trackday cars.

If it was me I would try to get the SVA before assuming they pass many Cobra's

The if a fail for noise

I would split the exhaust drill four holes per tube for two long bolts fill exhaust with wire wool.

Drive to SVA then pass, drive home and have four holes welded up with tig welder.

Carl,

Borrow Woolfie's system and install it for the SVA. It will bring the noise down from 104db to approx 88db. Then refit your Corsa. No welding or cutting, just unbolt the Corsa, put the other one on and when through the SVA, just put your Corsa back on. About 2 hours work in total. Just be careful when unscrewing the sills and you don't want to get them marked, etc. The screw nearest the door is a problem to get out, but it is possible.

When they are off have a good look at the insulation, if it is burnt at all, get some new ones from JonB.

If you need any advice / help, just get in touch.

This is what I did with my 97 GTS when I brought it in from California.

Regards,

Pete.

Will it be necessary to remove the lights completely to change the direction they dip or can I do it in situ?

Thanks


Carl
