  4. will you need a pilots licence for that wing? I think if your going down that route its going to need some extreme mods to balance the wing out.
  5. matt bowey had for for a short while, but he's just changed again recently
  6. blokes if they do talk about it usually like to take the **** out of it. laughter is the general male cure, or ignorance; if i don't talk about it think about it, then it doesn't exist

  10. anyone for a ukranian car,
  11. oooooo yes please i love the NSX
  12. now when i say this is a short video and not the best i really mean it, it was taken about 30 sec after they finished fitting it, and about 5 seconds after i worked out how to video stuff on my DSLR. so i will at the weekend go out and get some decent footage. i missed the inital startup, but you get a very quick idea of the exhaust. before i write a final conclusion on the system i want to add some miles to it, just in the 30 miles drive home its already started to change in noise. its liek the car is just starting to get its voice back. and admittedly when i took this the engine was still cold. I'm really pleased with the noise so far, as its a daily driver i couldn't have a permanent torpedo boat, even if the thought of it is tempting. and i wanted to maintain the cruise-ability that the jag has. and this exhaust has done just that. at motorway speeds its almost invisible just like the original system, but this one barks when you use the loud pedal. at the moemnt the system has added a nice bit of extra noise but keep with the character of the car, its deeper and has more of a boom to it. the is slightly more noise in the cabin, but i mean slight, its not a drone but the system is just that bit more noticable, but perfectly within the parameters i had expected. i'm looking forward to seeing how the sound develops over the next month or so. i'm hoping for alittle more burble and some more popple and back fire. the ECU needs time to adjust to the system, and it needs to coke up abit and bed in so to speak. but the key thing is i'm really happy with it. its tidied up the back of the car getting rid of the pea shooters, adding some proper pipes to it and bringing out a bit more of the big Cat sound. a huge thanks goes out to Dan and Dave who have worked very hard over the last 2 days making everything perfect, they've done a top job and i wouldn't hesitate to reccomend them and their services. I'm also really pleased with the quality of the Longlife products, the boxes pipes and Cats all seem very high standard and its topped off by the very high quality welding from the boys. If your interested in them doing something for you they are worth a visit. http://demandengineering.co.uk/ they can do exhausts, HFC's Decats and manifolds as well as a host of other stuff. and the price was very good, all in it came in more than half the cost of a full miltek system including Hi flow cats and thats without any kind of fitting included. i'll post up at the weekend with new video, and an updated review in a few weeks.
  13. So the exhaust has been built by Demand Engineering in suffolk, just outside stonham Aspall. You wouldn't know they were there, but they are some what of a diamond find. This is the workshop and these 2 hansome chaps are the boys behind the steel; now don't let looks deceive you they are both highly trained engineers (slightly unflattering photo but by this point i think they were knackered as they'd been working hard all day) Old Exhaust I managed to get some pics of the old exhaust but it had been taken off, but i'll find a pic off the net showing what the original layout was, but you can see how knackered my old system was. The tips had even rusted through And this is what they built for me New exhaust X-Pipe they built me a lovely X-pipe Hi FLow Cats and squeezed in some lovely HFC's it now runs 4 silencers nstead of 5 with 2 on each bank 1 before the rear axleand one after. and these are the rear cans I've been really impressed with the quality of the Tig welding, and they done an absolute top job with the fit and manufacture of it. i think its a stunning bit of kit and fits the car beautifully. everything is perfectly laid out, in line and neatly welded. and the x ppe is a work of art. and its all been custom buitl for me. apparently the cars were a pig to fit as there is almost no space what so ever either side of the engine. its tighter than a ducks arse gettng in there. well i'll leave you all to have a look, and i'll post up the short vid in a bit and i'll let you know what i think of the noise. i'm off to go have my dinner as i'm starving.
  14. its good place to ask on here, most of the member on here have a bloody screw lose, its full of nutters here
  15. double thumbs up from me! which engine?
  16. Ok just got back from the lads at demand engineering and i must say i'm still smiling i've got photos to upload and some video, but i thought i'd share this little video with you. I asked the boys to capture some video of it running just off the HFC's for a laugh and they sent me this link they told me over the phone it sounded like a torpedo boat, and they weren't half wrong which has now made me want to add 2 lectric cut out valves at a later date for fun. IUshall upload the pics and add to this in a bit enjoy.
  17. I'd just love to hear the bullshite rationale for those 2 must be because the wife will be nagging if you go to fast
  18. look forward to seeing the print out
  19. no he just has lots of parts he likes to flog to people but he knows his stuff
  20. are the piston seals all ok?
  21. why get rid of them, you have decent wheels that actually allow for the best kind of weight balancing, and you want to rub it off?
  22. nope wouldn't have one; i find them about as exciting as last years tiddly winks competition i don't think they warrant that kind of cash. and when something goes pop on it, the cost to you is going to be huge.
  23. as long as the wheels are powder coated at a temp of about 200 degree's C they'll be fine. its when someone bakes at too high a temp.
