  1. Yeah I am mate.

    I need to get it rebuilt for a piece of mind so that's the next thing I'm doing.

    I've got to.
     
  2. Saw a closed up factory and thought I'd take some pics (by phone)

  3. Looks bloody awesome mate!
     
  4. Thanks mate.

    I try to look after it
     
  5. I'm not into cleanning at all but you do need to clean that exhaust stain :tongueout:
     
  6. This is back in my life after not really liking the 5series.

    Along with r26.R a carbon bonnet. e81b3878f7ba94032795de7788531054.jpg

    If anyone is interested in the bonnet feel free to pm me.

  7. How do you rate the Miller's oil? I thought it was more for the trackdayers... Does it need changing more regularly?

    Written on your profile regarding the bonnet mate. Just noticed that that post was nearly 4 months ago! Still got it?
     
  9. It's good oil, I very rarely boot it.

    I just prefer to use good oil.

    Sorry mate sold.
     
  10. Exhaust update.

    So I've been talking to Charlie @cgrautomotive for a good year if not 2 about a megane system, up until a few month ago Charlie got back in touch saying he's starting to make progress from the cad drawing and start making jigs up.

    For it to be all taken back off again to be all welded up properly.
    I asked Charlie to give a little upward angle on the exhaust tips and to extend a few mm so hopefully that will put an end to the black shit boots these megane are so popular for.

    A fair few hours of welding and each join as neat as the last.

    To being fitted.

    Charlie really did keep me up to date on every little detail which I loved as I don't like leaving my car :worried:

    The sound on tick over is perfect, not to loud and boomy, then once the foot is planted, (4th gear at 70mph) it really comes alive, it just roars at you.

    Not only does it look and sound nice, ive noticed a big increase in performance and how quickly it picks up and how much more freely it revs, and I'm not just saying that it really does, my dad's drove it a few times and he's been with me today and drove it, got back out and said "now that's fucking quick, feels more responsive"

    So a big thanks to greg @Feirny for introducing me to Charlie and his team, it was a pleasure in dealing with you and will be back to see what else we can work on as this system being the first one made Is absolute superb.


    Cheers guys.

    He a little vid on tick over and once Charlie has sorted me some vids and pics over Il post them.

    I want one! :hearteyes:
     
  12. How much are they going to be ?
     
  13. Unsure on the exact price as people may spec different things. But it blows any other exhaust out the water.

  16. Seat update.

    After I bought it back from James there was little things I wanted to change, I.e the blue recaros and blue rear bench.

    As you can see the blue recaros look nothing short of brand new and I'm sure the new owner of them likes them too.

    So here's what I changed them too. 360ad51f02aeff2176d0f20109edf5aa.jpg

    Will be swapping the rear door cards over Too, as @ricardo is fully stripping the rear out.

    I've also bought a brand new leather arm of Matt e on here so will be fitting that this weekend too along with the inlet manifold and boost pipe so going to give them a powder coat and tarten up the engine bay.


    A service will be happening shortly, it's not ready for it but may as well get the Cambelt done too, to keep on top of things :smile:

    Can't wait to get mine done. As said elsewhere, I'm glad you were involved in all this Jacob! You've got something special and I can't wait to hear it in person.
     
  18. exhaust looks spot on, does it drone on the motorway? cars looking great as well
     
  19. Nope not one bit it's quieter then my old system on the motorway, plant your foot you hear a crackle then roar.

    Cheers chap.
     
  20. Looks very similar to my 3" ktec exhaust
