Agreed! Especially with all the carbon inserts that the one shine do has! I told George when I first met him that this was a must! I think he had not long blown mega bucks on his exhaust though! ill drop him a link for it. Saying that.... where has he been hiding.. i bet the jammy barstewards on holiday again..

People do it to demonstrate exhaust sounds. Boys and toys - when will y'all learn there's no correlation between the level of noise from your exhaust and the size of your...feet hmmmm.....suddenly that explains alot.... i was gonna say, if there was, you must have huugggge feet judging by the sound of the r8

i like the intro, short and sweet and to the point. He's probably out driving and no time to post -
Pffft ...told you - you're not allowed unless you bring Nicole with you - you can't be trusted to play with the adults haha i dont think she'll come after she heard what came out your filthy mouth a lakez

you just threw that in because im getting a carbon boot and wing

decats ftw , hfc's even though they are less restrictive than normal cats will never be as good for power gains than decats. Decats are just straight through bits of pipe with no restrictions.

re040s are fantastic as they can take a serious amount of heat before melting but to get them upto temp it takes a fair amount of work. Pzero rosso's wore out on the rear in less than 3k miles. PS2's are fantastic but wear quickly. I have re050a's on the rear and i don't really like them except in the dry. Very slippy in the wet. I do have the traction control of alot more now and like to get my tail out every now and then I think next time im gonna try out some dunlop tyres which captain was recommending

My flexis on my nismo y-pipe act as a bump stop to tell me when the ground is getting very close to my bum

I am arrogant and admit it. All the advice given to you was helpful by everyone involved in this thread. You chose to ignore the helpful advice given. Good Luck

Lol Craig can have it, since he's a fellow ghetto brother! How's that for being a gentleman It won't match my carbon boot and high level wing that I'll be ordering after the holidays.
-
I don't know what to do... Looked at the weather and next Thursday has to be a wet one. Dunno if i fancy another episode of re040's on the rain. May leave it until next week and see how the weather is shaping up. Can't make tomorrow night either due to work

Welcome mate! Where are you located? No need for revup airbox as rtbiscuit can supply the conversion kit at a fraction of the price Get some pics up when you get a minute and show her off -
Lmao I disagree, I think craigs car would look the business with race livery especially if it's the one he showed me! There's only a couple of more steps before I've got him on track with it. Lowering is the next thing he should do

Glad you got it sorted matey and back to happy zedding again

I disagree dave 99ron v-power is all I can use

see ya mate, don't trip over the smartprice boxes on the way out

Actually its toyosport or toyosports' if you want to become literate. What do you mean stones and glass houses? The only cheap thing on my car is the scorpion exhaust. I was being patronising. Too many people adding crap parts to decent cars then complain when it breaks. If people buy a car and can't afford to run it correctly then if I was in there shoes I'd be considering something I could run. However, You making the assumption that all corsa drivers are chavs then that's in pretty poor taste Keviswatt -- dry you eyes mate. I drive a datsun certainly no badge snobbery. People who are angry at what I said are usually people who have done what I'm talking about. If you can't afford to look after it correctly then you clearly should have a cheaper car.

Where did i call anyone a chav??? First off- scorpion isn't spelt scorpian Scorpion is cheap I admit, but tried and tested, but along with the rest of the set up which I have im easily on the way to the 1k Mark. I've built my car and engine to suit what I need it for hence the reason the scorpions getting chopped up to be replaced with different diameter pipe etc. As for the comment about alex, I've very rarely bought stuff from alex except fluids oh yeah and kw variant 3 coilovers. I get off on calling people a chav because too many people are putting shitey stuff on decent cars, which is partly the reason why recently we've had a massive joining of knobs complaining they got smoked by an astra vxr. The prices have plummeted allowing people to buy them that cant really afford to run them. The day I can't afford stuff for the running of my car is the day I will sell it and downgrade to something I can afford. Sounds like I've hit a nerve... Have you bought shitey parts aswell??? :lol: Japspeed exhausts are known as cheap shite, scorpion however has a very good rep because of quality and price. And for you questioning if I have a premium exhaust, I did have a nismo exhaust. Sounds like I hit your nerves. Do you have a toyosports exhaust by anychance??? No offence, but you did. Perhaps you're right. Not everyone will appreciate the running cost of most cars, not just a zed. However, I honestly don't think that not 'maintaining' my exhaust is why the join between the two sections corroded. I would say it was more likely to do with being 6 or 7 years old, the British weather, road salts and it being made from steel. Oh, and I've only owned this zed a few weeks. If the previous owner had cleaned his exhaust more often then I might not be having to deal with this now. Now I come to think of it he did say he was selling it because he couldn't afford to maintain it any more... ...I take back what I said, maybe you were on to something! These thing happen to all cars, I've owned enough (race cars and others) to know this. If I had a Metro or a Masarrati I would still say my mantra 'stupid cars'! I agree that some things are cheap for a reason but I would also call any man a fool who believed just because a product cost him more than another, that automatically makes it better. From what I read about these toyosport exhausts they're good value for money but can require some modification. If you're up for that then a saving of 50% seems like a good idea to me.

It's cheap shite mate! Why buy such a nice car and bastardise it with such shitty products??? If you buy a second hand exhaust like you said you would consider then what's to say it won't break at the weld also? I bought a cheap exhaust, purely because the scorpions warranty was a bit of comforter. The price you will pay to get a toyosports exhaust fitted correctly will end up almost the same as what it would cost for a decent exhaust to be bought and fitted. It's the same with bodykits. Listen to the wise words of people who have been there and done it. Too many people turning zeds into sh1theaps with cheap shitey Chinese replicated crap. When you buy the toyosports exhaust at 250quid you can join the "I'm turning a decent zed in to a shed club" and hang out at local cruises with corsa's with plastic bits stuck onto it. Premium parts = premium performance. Fact With full performance exhaust on insurance I went up 12quid No offence, but you did. Perhaps you're right.
