  1. could be that the water has allowed your alternator belt to begin slipping? if it slips the car may not be getting the power it needs when something power hungry like the lights are turned on. when it dries out give it another go and see if it solves itself, could just mean a replacement or tightening of the belt is needed.

    only real difference between the brembos and the cack stock ones is ability to endure more heat without fading

  13. for a split second i cacked my pants thinking it was the rossers before i saw the colour yes ekona i know only because i then had to go out and get some at the same time picked up some white spray lube for doing the rubber hangers. LUBE ftw thats the midpipe on. now next question... there is the head of one of the studs left on the backbox i bought. you know, the welded head theres nothing left of the stud, i have tried heating it and bashing it, drilling it and bashing it, demeling it and bashing it. any other suggestions?
  14. i was being so nice and gentle going past him aswell well maybe not the first time but he could see me coming then as i come off the roundabout you can hear the TC interrupting at the top end as i try to put all the power down in 2nd and 3rd due to these stinking re040's EDIT: about 1:26 and 1:28
  15. one of the cheapy keychain cams i can assure you it is a whole lot louder than a K1 and less than half the price
  16. I am calling bull on this one....you ain't got it in you Husky!. Cragus waits to be proven wrong
  17. of course got to say this was so loud i didnt even get the manic laughter I feel a bit like i just abused nature video uploading
  18. i dont know officer, all of a sudden it sounded like a track car hmm i may see what its like on idle and barely loaded, if its even tolerable. think of standing next to a track car as it rev's and your there.
  19. the urge to take it out for a drive is overwhelming now
  20. have to say i am considering taking it out on the road y-pipe only would i get in trouble? and if so how much at this rate if i dont get a move on and put the new one on i will need to drive to work like it!! quick question.. the y-pipe join to the midpipe was blowing a teeny bit, if i just change the gasket would that solve it or do i need to change the whole y-pipe?
  21. 04 plate car 38k miles My exhaust started blowing in a big way (undrivable) so i sourced a new one, Doogyrev was kind enough to bestow upon me the best condition used exhaust known to man Look! So yesterday i set about getting the old one off, now ive taken a backbox off before so i started there so here she is, still covered in gungum from me trying to keep my hearing intact. you can see the earth strap has snapped straight off and how much rust there was there so time to attack it with the wire brush until my knuckles bled now to pop off the earth strap bolt, oh look! that was so easy, maybe the rest will be just like this one not a plucking chance under that is the real bolt, this ones usually not bad as its kinda protected by the earth bolt, off that comes. now for the bad news, the next one, no matter how many pennys you throw into wells and wish, it will be stubborn and turn into cheese. So i put on the socket/breaker bar and all 6 corners rounded in one go. Out with the mini blow torch... right that didnt work, lets get DREMEL on the job ok so no.. dremel didnt work, well more that i wanted not to die of old age before removing the exhaust, so i gave up and found the massive crack between the flange and the pipe and stuck a brick chisel in TADA! so i went for a spin with only the midpipe I HEREBY NAME THIS SETUP.. THE K1(foc) that was yesterday.... this is today so i got a breaker bar on the Y-pipe to mid pipe bolts and pushed... and pushed... turned round, got my feet on the bar and pushed with everything i had... Not a movement. so i WD40'd it to death.... mmmm nope not a move. so i got out my new toy BLOWTORCH mwahahahaha. Yeah so tip 1 for blowtorching; dont use even near where you put WD40 30 mins ago i put my heatproof mat round behind the Y-pipe and started blowtorching the nut, sorry i dont have any pics, it was a tight sqeeze getting under the car and i thought paying attention to the fire under my car was important but it came off first time! My advice!! Just blow torch it right from square one, dont fanny about doing other stuff just go straight for the big guns plus its very cool when the neighbors watch, they actually think you know what your doing so dead mid pipe is here and dead back box is here ive now only got the y-pipe on the car and it is deafeningly loud!!!
  22. yeah these have sandisk labels but i know theres no way they are got to order some more decent ones when i get the chance
