Not had it for over a week, got to admit have been loving the space in the garage and filled it full of junk so going to have to move that and hoover the carpet again before putting the car back in

However finally had the call this evening shes ready to collect on Fri cant wait, even though wont be properly driveable until its mapped, although thats the next thing need to sort out! Another bloody long drive, why cant any of the specialists be in the northern hemisphere!!

I think most northern monaro owners consider us to be in the south already! I like to think we are centrally located

Birmingham is central ish access wise for motorways, even if a touch South as I think the Geographical centre is somewhere in South Yorkshire, anywhere more than an hour and a half drive is too South for me!

wouldn't near Manchester be better for all of us? The Scotts won't have such a long drive too.

The long distance dosn't bother me anymore and find it quite enjoyable even on cruise. Sometimes very un-eventfull like this Tuesday just gone, all the way down from Newcastle to Monkfish and made 1 stop.


The cars are great for distance, make a 3 hour journed feel like an hour, only thing I dont like is hammering the miles on my car, everytime go out its 500 miles!

What did you decide to get done in the end mate? Did you get the cats as well as the headers?

Got her back later afternoon, sounds utterly fantastic, much deeper tone than before from the exhausts and the cam. Cant drive it high in the revs as its not mapped yet so not been above 2k rpm!

Wouldnt say it was much louder than before but the tone at which the noise comes out sounds brilliant. Quality of the manifolds look excellent, gone a nice ish yellow colour from the drive home, needs some stick so they go blue

Will try get some pics if I can.
