Thats the attitude mate. Do it once & once properly.
Missing a show is annoying, but nothing compared with stripping it back to go over what you have already (half) done.
Your courtenay downpipe rusty aswell then?
Yeah it was fooked! It was under the heat wrap so didnt notice it! But took it to a local rally team by me and the chap there wasnt overly impressed with the standard of fabrication and welding!
Its just bits of the original downpipe, welded up to met the turbo & system together.
Infact I thought the silver GSI this engine came from a had a complete custom scorpion system & downpipe??
its definetly a scorpian custom exhaust system but the downpipe looks like it wasnt made very well couldnt tell you if that was scorpian:confused:
The system was Craig, with just one silly big box! lol but now mikes got my old box on it from my power flow system.
Forgot i had your old powerflow backbox:tard:Quote:

So i tried it in place and the last bend that matches to the rest of the system is slightly out, only by about 5 degrees it is a stock 30 degree bend from jetex so i thought it may need a bit of tweeking but thats it the length is perfect and the two other bends are sound. Here is a couple of pics

right i took the downpipe back and had the bend slightly adjusted and with help from scott parker it fitted a treat:d so ive just got to take it back to the garage to have it welded up.

Scott
Mike, you really need to get this back on track! Its been to long...
just flicked through this from the start. fair amount of work has gone in to this, id love to turbo my e16se its just the expensive management that stops me.
so is this car been finished yet as I think the last update was 2010? lol it would be good to see it finished.
Its been put on hold, Mike re build an old bay vw buss before this as he needed it for his wedding.
wow mike what a wip thread im in the process of a front end tidy up feeling a little deflated at finding some small rust holes so hats of to u for seeing this through think id have lost the will to live by now if it was mine. can I ask what under seal u used on the front arches ? cheers rich
