SteveD Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 thought you were in germany and your car is over here Quote
Speed Freak Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 yeh im in germany, but back on thursday for a week, and then taking it back to deutschland! had the whole electrics with me to keep me busy since I left the uk 2 weeks ago. Quote
SteveD Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 who did the exhaust in the end and the engine mounts Quote
Speed Freak Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 i found an industrial welder in shrewsbury who came round and made me up some mounts... basically I kept the standard s2000 engine mounts, and made up some wedges to go under them. jp exhausts did the exhausts. did a nice job (atleast aesthetically), only thing Im not too keen on is that theyve used springs to hold the non welded parts together- know theyre prob better in terms of movement and cracking, but would have rather had them hidden then on backside of exhaust as opposed to front.... can I got off techcraft- worked out bl**** expensive tho cos of the 200 cell cat fitted in it....came to 700 quid for can/cat... only paid 720 incl vat for rest of exhaust and fitting!
