I know you took my Gopro but the only thing you managed to capture was the top part of your loaf Yeah I got a couple of vids of the 1/4 ,not that they we're worth watching with my crappie driving not doing the scooby justice lol. As for me and my holiday war wounds .... I've now got crispy "bingo wings" to go with my random burnt bit of leg with a added side portion of jelly fish sting across the top of my foot [emoji30] I'm staying in the bar from now on [emoji23] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 Back i blighty and after a week or so of work the holiday seems a bit of a distant memory. I had decided to buy a cobra track day 3" cat back in the airport on the way there , to cheer me up when I got back [emoji39] I used a eBay company that sells genuine cobra systems at discount prices, due to only having polished "boxes" and not pipework. Somehow I ended up being sent a second hand rear section on Wednesday [emoji53] . They spoke to cobra who made a new rear section Thursday and sent it out next day delivery , the replacement was at my door 745 Saturday morning . So far play to them and their customer service [emoji106] As for the exhaust it still has the lifetime warranty but for about £300 less labour costs too polish the pipework. Took about 2 hrs to fit as, I couldn't be bothered to get the car up on all 4 axle stands . Few pics . Fitment was good and it's still got the scooby "thud" but it doesn't scream at ya on boost [emoji41] The cdf billet fuel rails turned up and look like a quality bit of kit So I just need the custom ally intake pipe fabricated and I'll have everything ready for a map tweek [emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 I took it out for a "quick" test run which turned into a few slip lane blatts followed by a detour to the two local road tunnels 😆 I found that the cobra cat back seems to make the same level of noise at full chat that it does on idle . Although it's quieter compared to the previous 3" cat back , it's only restricted the boost targets I'm hitting on the avcr by 0.02 bar (so it flows well) The Mrs and kids didn't like it at first when it was idling on the drive but I took my 12yr old daughter out and she said ..... "Actually dad you can hear the spool and wastegate chatter more so I like it .... a lot " With that discription i think the 3 females in my house know more about cars than some of my mates on building sites [emoji23] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Getting a bit bored waiting for the custom intake pipe to get fabricated, so I've ordered up the ally bends I need from "Ash" then I can get it cut n prepped for welding together . The reshell has seen 2 winters and I decided to give the rear wheels a polish , arches a clean then seal them up . On a whole the paintwork i did is holding up really well Only bit of rust is on the captive nut and thread Did manage to get a coat of polish and poor boys sealant on the rear wheels before the heavens opened [emoji41] but got wet bolting the fookers back on and dropping the car of the axle stands [emoji57] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant see a date on my phone so could of been months or weeks ago lol. Still sandbaging the start up but in my favour ive got a couple of 90deg hose bends to put in (try as not much room) as not happy with a few connections. Definitely going to pop the crank sensor plug off to get some oil round as its a 2 min job and better to be safe than sorry as had plenty of that lately lol :-) Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 No problem gaz , I dunno exactly when I replied either but it was sometime early part of last month. We've had a chat on the phone since then anyways , I'll let you know when the next s.c meet is as I'll probably be going again (if the weather's good) There was only about 8 scoobs there last time but that included 3 x 2.1 stroker powered scoobs running 350 + hp .a p1 running just over 450hp .a v3 sti v limited . a cashmere yellow type r . And my old girl of course [emoji6] Its a Small club but what it lacks in numbers it makes up for with a fair few ponies [emoji41] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 Ordered up a box of ally pipework from "Ash" to try to neaten up the "frankenstien" temporary intake tract. Bit of chopping with the hacksaw and I'm now ready to get the icv take off welded on . Hopefully tomorrow's dry and I'll try to get the fuel rails fitted but it's not looking straight forward [emoji57] . the braided lines I bought we're parallel and reverse flow so cylinder 3, which is the last in the oe "series " fuel lines can't lean off. First issue is The fuel lab fpr was situated where my re located alternator is [emoji55] . So I've had to switch a few of the lines around to keep the reverse flow and move the fpr . Obviously the lines will run under the inlet once the oe fuel lines are removed[emoji6] there's plenty of clearance around the passenger side for the cdf rails and "an" fitted elbows [emoji41] But I think my "clocked" turbo coldside is gonna be in the way of the "an" fitment elbows on the drivers side [emoji30] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnylad Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 that bey looks amazing! I need lots of shiny **** too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 Cheers chap , word of warning though shiny bays are a nightmare. Soon as you put 1 painted or polished bit under the bonnet ...... all it does is make everything else look pony lol . Well there's no way the rails are gonna fit on the drivers side ,unless I can find a an6 elbow that's about half the size [emoji57] As the current 80mm an6 elbow fouls on the clocked coldside . I got Doug from "G19 " , a local fabricator that does mx5 turbo conversions , to swage the ends of the ally pipework I cut down and weld a take off onto 1 of the pipes. So I can move the blue pipe that used to stretch across the inlet manifold. He had this shed looking 1800 mx5 that was braced underneath for track ridgity and running a tdo5 for grins [emoji33] Doug also introduced me to meguires all metal polish [emoji41] So I bought some on the way home ,fitted the new intake and slapped some of the megs polish on all the ally under the bonnet At least now the rails are on the back burner all I have to do get some more wire heat shrink sleeve to splice the tomei maf plug in [emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 I bought a z32 maf and have been putting off fitting it ,as you have to cut a different maf plug into the loom [emoji51] After a quick search I soon found a post from Simon roe of jolly green monster (thanks si ,rip buddy) . This listed the pins on both plugs for the conversion [emoji41] So I decided to splice the tomei maf plug in and keep the oe maf plug too , just in case it was too far out of "scale " to make it run well enough . I didn't take to many pics as I was pushed to get it done and back together before I lost daylight this evening. Mid "hack" [emoji85] Fitted I changed the setting on the apexi fc hand controller to allow for the bigger bore maf scale Although it hunts a bit on idle it drives fine off boost [emoji41] but I might switch over to the old maf and settings untill I get it tweeked in . because I've kept the oe plug and I get boost withdrawal extremely quickly [emoji23] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
