I.e. manifold, wide down pipe, sports cat, the free-flowing midsection & bax box.
Had them on 5 cars, improved all IMHO drainpipe, innit bruv. large flow but no gas speed to pull the next pulse through. Exhausts are an art. Halfords s  t is s t.

NotDave said: GroundEffect said: There's no way to tell from just looking at one exhaust to know if it'll improve it. One never said there was. But surely you do research on the exhaust, the company, the parts/materials used. Testimonials, reviews, feedback, reccomendations and so on, surely not just me? As for how they work, well aware hence why I always do research, and why various cars have run numerous set-ups until the right mix/balance is reached. I'm not stupid, and may run snotters now, but haven't always! Just because my bank balance is tiny, my cars are s t and my education in the area is nil, do not assume one can't understand how things work.  I look at the materials used and how it's been fabricated + torque curves to know

I have moved. Nothing untoward happened, bar some mild shouting (and a dastardly attempt to nick my copy of Plan 9 from Outer Space). Phew.

Is good, yesterday I ran out of work and finished 15mins early, today I recouped that loss of pay and found an extra hour as it was so busy and we needed to set up for tomorrow's big lunch.
I went to the old-Skool sweet shop hidden behind some trees at the top end of the high street yesterday and bought a massive bag of giant white-choc Jazzies, proper Turkish Delight, Jelly Beans, Doll Mixtures and Raspberry & Cream chunky things for my Dad for tomorrow. Think I might have to pay the place a visit for myself on Monday...

BlackVanDyke said: Well I survived the MRI, but did scare the s t out of all the staff in the department by having a spazzing up moment that they all assumed was a huge seizure (despite being told repeatedly that I don't have seizures). Given that head/neck MRIs (which involves your top half being immobilised in a massive steel cage/box thing for the best part of 45 minutes) are mostly given to people who have or are suspected to have some sort of neurological problem, this is really worrying and potentially dangerous. 45 minutes? Just how old was it? I had a head/neck MRI a few months back, and quite enjoyed it for the 5 minutes or less I was in it. Mainly because the tracer drug was most excellent, the painkiller were kicking in, and I got to lie down and snooze a bit. I suspect however, given the hospital in question, it was the latest and greatest version of said machinery.

Heh, nail/head there - it was the Manchester Royal Infirmary's one, no idea when the scanner was set up but it's VERY old, 80s at best, and in desperate need of replacement. The entire department sorely needs a birthday. I didn't have contrast because they were looking at skeletal rather than vascular things (yay, no pincushion session!) and also - stupidly - drove myself there so couldn't take the heavy duty pain meds I should've taken to cope with the long time lying on a very very hard surface. Were you at UCH or something then? Been there, it's all shiny.

No, a little further away than that; http://www.parkerhospital.org/I didn't drive myself because I was in dire need of attention and suspected (and hoped) that weapons grade painkillers would be involved, which they were, thankfully. So was doped up on some IV antibiotics, anti nausea meds, painkillers and the tracer stuff, plus the sheer relief of being comfortable for the first time in a couple of days. Salivary duct stone. Not much fun.

The machine I have my annual MRI is about 45 minutes so I assume it is old also. They never have anything good to watch/listen to and I keep forgetting to bring movies.

- It is not a joking matter, do not joke about wet pants. I speak from experience. No, I really just have a thing called left-sided hemoplesia so although it sounds like I have made that up it means that my left side is weaker than my right. It developed in my neck so the keep a check on that and then I also have a problem with the left leg so the see if my leg is still attached and able to move. Worst case scenario is that I am paralysed from neck down.

slopes said: Eeesh kidda, that is not good, i'll sacrifice a goat for you Shouldn't we ask? The last time a Trivial Towers goat was sacrificed there was all sorts of trouble. Does the RSPG and media attention ring any bells? And while I'm on the subject of the TT goat, whose idea was it to name the goat Harriet? Original names for things animate and inanimate at the Towers in future, please. Sorry to hear all that JT. If the goat has to go then so be it.
