shame.... why did you do that?

It was good fun? Or do you mean break it? I was bored with it and even with just the one careful owner and me it was worth more in bits than whole

Jons old 80 lives on in spirit, many of its vital organs have found their way onto my cars!

Back on track, I like the mk2 rack best.

I was hoping you'd comment as well Ian seeing as you saw it at the weekend or did you not notice it then?

 

[Ian Rubie]

I try not to spend too much time looking at your car, I know what will happen and I can't afford one!

I like racks on modified 4x4s, to my eye a nice looking rack completes the picture. I have a full length ARB rack which will be finding it's way back onto the red car in the near future.

[Jon Wildsmith]

Wait till you hear the new exhaust

 

[Ian Rubie]

Oh no, don't do this to me Does it sound proper V8 now?

Ian

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

Does it sound proper V8 now?

Oh yes

 

[Ian Rubie]

bu**er, bu**er and bu**er

You were already fairly high on Nickies "This ones trouble" list, think you may have just claimed top spot.

Hmm - I spot the signature change too

Besides the go-louder exhaust, are there any performance benefits? Did you flash the ECU for the headers and zorst?

Yes, more get up and go

Did you flash the ECU for the headers and zorst?

No but a Dastek Unichip is next on the list now the zorst is done.

 

[Gary Stockton]

heh heh - had a Dastek chip on my 80 4.5 efi - had a few bewildered Golf GTi drivers in Cape Town when dropping them at the robots - sorry - traffic lights - and having all 4 wheels chirping and emitting smoke Teach them to try and cut me up heading to the up-coming intersection

In fact I've got the dyno graphs at home somewhere an chuck up for you to look at and compare - be interesting to see what the dyno shows for you.

And that's without headers and sports cats etc

Oh yes

May I ask why we don't have a soundbite of it posted yet???

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

I don't think I have a way of recording it that would do it justice. Sounded better to me than the Aston they had in at the same time

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

I can't make my mind up wether to keep going with my mkII roof rack or go back to the factory rails so I need help

With rack this morning:

With rails this afternoon:

Help

Rack mk 2.5?

 

[Paul]

And a nice new sticker

 

[Gav Peter]

That's looking good Jaydubblyuh - oi loikes Mk.2½

But blingless though ;-)

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

You mean without the lights Gav? That's the main diff from the mk2, I cut the light bar off

Had to have a black hoop on the bumper for the sticker, wouldn't have shown up very well on the silver Matching sticker on the rear window

 

[Gav Peter]

Chrome hoop with black sticka Jon - BLINGBLINGBLING!!!!!
