I had no issues when I had them fitted in mine either, but I did keep a spare set of halogens in the boot just incase ;).Quote:

The only way to do a cheap xe is buy a £200 engine and chuck it straight in as it is. Rebuild bits aint the cheapest of things.
Ernie-Spot on mate, cheers for that. Its here waiting to come back to you :D
Dan-I always carry a few spare bulbs :)
:confused: never knew why you were rebuilding it anyway tbh mate :wtf:
throw it in, if it works, then bonus, if not, then rebuild it :thumb:
thats what i did, and i'm still going strong *touches wood* ohh errrr lol
Aye, just got it all rebuilt back up this weekend(new top and bottom end gasket sets, valves relapped, new cambelt/rollers etc). Its ready go in now, apart from a crank sensor, and a sump.
I should of done what you did too! As its pissing about changing clutches/flys/gaskets etc thats took the cash from my tb kit fund :(
totally mate, ahhh well - as you say, its done now :) and at least its piece of mind for ya!
ETA still on for November 9th @ Donny with me?
Deffo mate, want to book it asap but not liking the £180 price tag lol
Will get it booked though :)
engine looking good ad, now get it bloody fitted! P.s won't need my crank sensor, do you want it, do you have an old one i can use to plug my block?
Yup i have an old one :D
Do you have a lambda too? (i have a lambda with cut wires i can swap with yours, if you dont need the lambda...) ?
yep it's still in the front pipe! Won't need it so you can have it. Bring be yours so i can use it as a bung/stop, and we'll swop.
i have cranksensor and lambda sensor you canhave mate foc
Cheers John.
About tomorrow night or weds????
Corsakid-Cheers for the offer mate, should be sorted after ive been Johns :)
I will be but i'm bang in the middle of ripping out and fitting my new kitchen, can you wait till sat, or are you desperate?
Yeah mate, sat is sound.
Will give you a txt on Sat afternoon :)
keep the baby valver:p
but at least when its built back up you will have the piece of mind knowing that it has been rebuilt........then get some tb's chucked on:cool:
When i sell the baby valver bits, i should be closer to breaking even anyways...
So all is not lost ;)
No probs, see you sat.:thumb:Quote:

Brand new, Stainless Steel Scorpion exhaust system. 2" pipework, 3" inward rolled tip. Top quality system, no longer made afaik and cost about £270+ when new. 3 silencers too, so im hoping its nice and quiet :cool:
Even the tip is silenced :D

Will be cutting down the xe's downpipe, to get it to fit up with the system :)
Where'd you drop on that ad?
Matt GTE off here :D
That looks a nice system, yeah hopefully 3 boxes will quiet it down nicely.
Yup :)
This is the 6th exhaust system my cars had, pmsl lol lol
New systems a bit sexy!
love the car .. can see alot of hard work gone into that
Cheers lads :)
Nice progress Adam.
Same exhaust system as mine.
Cool.
Which xe manifold are you using Nath? Did you cut and weld the manifold to fit the system?
Looks bang on that exhaust system adam, Good stuff:D
The engines looking good too, glad its all going well mate
I started with a calibra manifold, but that would have fouled the radiator, so i had to buy another.Quote:

CraigG-No mate, that was an old thread a few months back before Eurofest, which i bumped up because i found the problem :)
BMW156-Cheers mate
The mount you have is made for the late spec, thats why theres the nice cut out on the top.
