    Cheers!!

    Today I knocked off work a bit early and had a bash at a temporary exhaust.
    Stainless system I have is in 3 parts, front section is way too long to match the XE manifold, so I used the crappy front pipe from the donor car, cut it down and fitted a bit of flexi between this and the mid part of the stainless system.
    It’s going to knock like mad but it’ll get it through an MOT and down the road to powerflow where I had my last one made, so he can cut the manifold and fab up a proper piece to mate the manifold and stainless system to fit properly.

    Also mounted the ECU under the parcel tray on passenger side so it’s secure and up out of the way/out of sight.

    Taken for her MOT today.... nervous drive there as I bloody built it, goes and stops fine, and as expected exhaust knocks, blows and vibrates like a goodun!!

    But..... She passed without a single advisory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Had her some beans on the way home, spluttered a few times, hopefully just crap fuel running through.
    And clutch needs adjusting as needs pushing right to the carpet to disengage.

    Goes well though

    As a little reward for passing her MOT I fitted the new clocks so I can see how she’s revving.
    And also fitted my Hecko wind deflectors.


    Was going to fit the new steering wheel but couldn’t get the old one off.
    Exhaust being done Friday I hope, and if weather is good, full detail the weekend

    Looking well mate. Steering wheel can be hard to remove on the nova the splines are very tight will need a puller on it.

    it’s getting there, needs a good day’s detailing as a minimum!

    Thanks, hate the slabs, once she’s detailed and wheels are swapped I’ll be happy, maybe.
    Managed to source a genuine Vauxhall puller for the steering wheel.
