ITS HERE!!!!!!!

Guys

Just took delivery of the stainless exhaust from Don. Will be trying to fit it tomorrow myself (Oh my GOD!!!!!!). Will keep you guys posted and hopefully record the sound as well. CAN't WAIT!!!!!!!! My neighbours are gonna hate me for life!!!!!

 

If it sounds like Simon's (Barabus) it will be amazing

 

Braver than me!! Can you take some piccies of different stages, would be interesting to see.

 

Try my best. Seems easy from SI from his piccies but you know what its like, I'll try to multi-task if I can. ie taking piccies and stripping exhaust.

 

O/T: Does any yous work????? Didn't expect any reply till after 5pm. Guess some of yous are skving during work hours as well.

 

my boss is cool

 

Your boss is your customers. I'll have two lorries of exotic fruit please, for delivery right now, and I want each piece of fruit gift wrapped and drissled in fine spices and herbs found only in outer mongolia

 

Good stuff Al get stuck in!!

Can you show a pic of the fitment clamps?

 

Ditto. Try to take some pics 2morow. Still wrapped up at the mo.

 

Yo Si

As requested. Piccies of clamps and exhaust. Damn, took me at least about 1/2 an hour to unwrapped. Thumps up for Don from Stainless exhaust, top notch service!!!!!

They look a little different to mine no wonder they didn't fit!!

Al get on and fit the bugger

 

Si

I should be able to use all existing bolts and nuts from the old system without needing extras as Don did not include them with the exhaust, right??? Tell me its going to be a doddle as I'm waking up at 7am tomorrow and tried to put it on. ANy special tools required????? You reckon the bracket Don fabricate is good for the new system.

One TR without exhaust coming up tomorrow!!!

 

Al

Its not difficult just fiddley, personally I would have gotten (and did get) new nuts and bolts for the fitment just in case the others are rusted on or summink. But no they dont supply them. Any problems tomorrow PM me.

 

Was trying to look up one of your old threads when you fitted your exhaust. Do you mean the number of bolts and nuts from the old system will be enough to fit the new system on? Could you please PM me your number if you don't mind or post some simple step to step instructions for me so I know where to start tomorrow, eg, removal of which parts first, then follow by what next and so on and so on...pleaseeeeee............Me not very bright and to be very honest, I'm trying this with my mechanic mate not around.....God bless me .....

 

if the OAP barabus can do it so should you

 

Tubby's right Al and I did it without any Help

 

hey you aint seen me for a while lost weight and been bodybuilding

Very Funny guys. Cheers for the confident boost. Will keep you guys posted. Expect posts at 7 in the morning tomorrow.

p/s: Cheers Si. Hope I don't need to call you at 7.

 

Nae luck guys.

Took me ages to figure out how to remove the rear bumper and valence. Doesn't help with the limited tools I had and had to run to Halfords to buy bits and bobs. Worst of all, once bumpers and valance were off, could not get the bolts off the manifold. Only managed to remove one complete flange (some actually sheared off), the others were just spinning together with the nuts.....aarrrggghhhhhhhhh.....I'll try to grind off the bolts some other time as I'm away tomotrrow for about a week to 10 days!!!!! Doesn't help with bleeding knuckles and sore fingers.........

 

What you like Al??

Get some mole grips on the nuts so you can spanner the buggers, at least you got the bumper and valance off

 

Si

Mole grips......did cross my mind.......but shop is shut..... Will be a better day tomorrow. COuld not be worst than this.... 9 Bl**dy hours and could not manage to get it done!!!!!! Pish!!! How's your drive today drive today bTW. Told you, TR without exhaust coming up!!!!!!!
