Shiny, shiny, shiny... what exhaust is that?

Post Thu Apr 14, 2005 10:06 am

Its a full Magnex system mate - and they don't do that system any more as far as I know...

Post Thu Apr 14, 2005 1:15 pm

Shame... Lucky for you though, I was about to be a bit of a copycat!! The paintwork looks good enough to eat, have you had it sprayed?

i was thinking the exact same thing! :lol:

Each to their own. Personally I can't stand DTMs, think they're way too big! Even Scorpion LeMans are slighty too big in my humble opinion. I prefer more subtle exhausts, they match BMWs subtle design style better.

like mine standard tail pipes

Post Thu Apr 14, 2005 8:33 pm

Yeah, mine are standard too. I'd only replace them if I was going to have a straight through system and have the intake and output balanced at Rolling Road or something. Hmm, slightly off topic... Nice motor Splondike!!

Post Thu Apr 14, 2005 11:17 pm

I don't like DTM's either - but I agree mine look a bit wimpy - still it sounds beefier than it looks and it's something else to polish

As for paint - I have not got any done, but yes shes had some, very few haven't I think you will find.. it will get some more in my ownership too...

Post Fri Apr 15, 2005 12:23 pm

who cares? mines gonna get loads of paint when i've finished and it will look great!!!

Post Fri Apr 15, 2005 1:14 pm

Yeah I've got a couple of areas that could do with touching up... Yours looks like it just drove out of the factory, as someone else already correctly pointed out!!

This car is to clean

It shouldnt be allowed, look at the wheels! I only have to do 10 miles and the alloys on my sport are filthy!

Post Fri May 06, 2005 12:42 pm

Post Sat May 07, 2005 11:44 am

awesome sport mate, would love to see it at one of the meets this year

Post Sun May 08, 2005 12:51 am

Mark still need head rests but the ring is priority now!!!

few q's! A) WHY IS IT OUT IN THE RAIN!

B) howcome the builder is using 6 inch blocks purely out of interest, ask him for me?!

it won't get too cold or 2 hot in there with those blocks

Post Sun May 08, 2005 1:43 pm

It's all gonna be rendered except for the decorative brick pattern on the corners Si...so its all blockwork and hence going up real quick..

The car is having to live outside at the mo thanks to scaffolding blocking my garage and work on the side of the garage. Its was lucky that I got her out last Saturday before the scaffold was put up !

Still, means it's my daily driver for a while

Post Sun May 08, 2005 2:27 pm

Great car mate, ive also got a rear sunblind to fit, not looking forward to cutting through the headlining though

Post Sun May 08, 2005 5:08 pm

Cheers Gav,

As long as you have a piccy of where to cut - it's not too bad mate... bit of a leap of faith though I can tell you - not as bad as cutting your mint rear bench for the headrest holes though
