My exhaust

[Marv]

Except for the bolts on the back of my turbo, this is all that was holding up my exhaust. It was tied around the rods off the cannon muffler that was angle-mounted to sit against the spare wheel well. :rolleyes:

It was checked-off as A-ok by the workshop when they fitted the system a few years back and I took it back to them after I bought it to get it mounted properly. They couldn't understand my request as they thought it was fine. :rolleyes:

Yeah, yeah, I know I should have fitted Gradg's exhaust earlier but there was no point until I got decent suspension in the car as it'd just bottom out. Unfortunately, every time I try to book my car into my preferred exhaust shop, they tell me that they've had to scrap my booking as they want to work on their own cars or their race cars instead. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Ahh... are they MRT mounts? Coz if they are, they must be good! My cousin's friend's uncle's mother's bisexual lover's postman has a B4. And he says that MRT are teh shiz.

You want to sell them? How much? OMG. Can you get more?

Wow gotta love the dodginess. I reckon the guy who owned my car at some stage must have owned yours as well. So many dodgy things i continue to come across, like, chopped springs, caravan water pump for the waic and yesterday, twisted together wiring job on the stereo, yes every single wire was just twisted together, no solder to be seen.

He might have practiced on mine then moved on to yours...

[Rallyeee]

Good to see there was something from the physical realm holding it up. I thought they would have used hopes and dreams.

So Graham's exhaust is all in now? If I follow you up Brush road will I not get showered with sparks?

[91rs]

those have at least 2 winds per side ... must be the Sti version ?

[Rallyeee]

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard! Of course they're not STi, they're not pink.

[XXXR]

its an upgrade from cable ties :tu

time to find another exhaust shop :wink: so many good ones down sydney area :P

[dja]

Well if the exhaust shop said its kewl it must be. That twisty wire is surely ADR approved retention mechanism...

whats wrong with installing a stereo like that?

[Marv]

1. It wasn't an exhaust shop but a leading Subaru "specialist" in Sydney.
2. G's exhaust isn't on yet as I've been dicked around by the exhaust shop and now the clutch is dead I need to replace that before I go get the new exhaust on
3. Cable ties are currently holding the exhaust up and doing a much better job. 4 cable ties per side FTW.
4. My car also had cut springs (2 different brands) and blown stock shocks when I bought it. Add to that buckled rims, tyres with splits and eggs in the sidewall and more. "It's a renovator's delight"
5. The exhaust hangers are actually JDM lightweight ones. Too light to have paint :wink:

I think billsy must have installed your exhaust marv! :P

[Jaz]

[Billsy]

lol, great minds think alike. the leone one peice exhaust is held up with coathangers, hahaha

Ghetto spec there marv

[mitch]

I expect it to made out of a hill hoist post and bend into shape using rocks and various hard objects! A bit like mark's intercooler piping! :P

[Marv]

OH MY GOD. Just had a brainwave: PVC screamer pipe.

Bow before me, all of you.

Hmm, his cousin must have owned my car too.

Dodgyness galore... but then again, not much changed since ive taken ownership:P

[nick e[v]ans]

Haha nice Marv, he did his apprenticeship on mine, but perfected fking up a nice car on yours. At least you get that satisfied relieved feeling as you replace each part... Until you find the next one of course.

I can't detect any sarcasm but surely you can't be serious? :confused:

ninja edit: lolza's grug, join the club.

[grug]

/ lines up head shot at Nath...

Im dodgy, but doing a twisted wire install... thats like... umm... being a Pedophile!

[Marv]

Or pooing in the work toilet and not flushing it...

Or the work shower that no-one ever uses...


:D

[grug]

... o.....k.

[dtrally]

You will have to drop the exhaust to replace the clutch, so why not do it all at once?

[Raz]

Jaz knows all about this...no wonder they do speciman analysis at My Pleasant...plenty available...ex Jaz!! hehe

[GeMiNeYe]

cable tie represent....
they are the best thing since sliced bread...
my car could not live with out them (it would just fall apart)

[rs guy]

iain your car is ghetto (but nw its all getting fixed).........slowly
lets just remember all the stereo wiring
and great amp installs :rolleyes:

[gradg]

My zorst FTW....
Als Dump FTW....

Marv's dicking around and laziness FTL.... :P

[yods]

*curls into foetal position*

Wide... open... spaces... wide... open... spaces... wide...

But now, thanks to man-snuggles, it's all betterer. :D


Marv's dicking around and laziness FTL.... :P

I couldn't fit it until I got the suspension done (as it'd just bottom out anywayz), and for the last couple of months I've been lazy/broke. Alcohol is too tempting a mistress for me... :rolleyes:

Chris can at least back me up with how sturdy this system is after following me up the road to my place. Apparently my car "lays rail" like a Minitruck :D

Spark showers FTW. :tu
