[vrsRo55]

Settled a touch after few hundred mile's.

 

 

 

 

[vrsRo55]

Did you go for resonated or straight through?

Have you notice any power gains?

 

Normal driving the odd blip i can't get under 50mpg before i was only getting 46-48mpg.

[vrsRo55]

Settled some more i reckon.

 

[vrsRo55]

Finally got myself a Columbus unit.

Anyone know if i can get the heater symbols on the screen,or will i need the newer climatronic panel?

Also do i have AC?

Yes, you have AC, but it's turned off when that "ECON" button is lit up.

Dual zone as well. Nice.

Hi Ross.

Car is looking the dogs mate. Glad you finally have your exhaust done. Have you had her on the rollers yet?

Keep up the work lad ya flying with her now.

[vrsRo55]

No Roller doubt i ever will.I can keep up easily with local hoon's on bike's that's enough for me LOL.

Might do FMIC and hard pipe's.Hybrid if turbo goes.

I'm going for look's now and gadget's. Maxidot next if maintenance give's me a chance.

[Shadows Entity]

What exhaust is it? very interested in your progress as we have identical cars except mine is pd and yours is cr

[vrsRo55]

Hi, 

 

I don't think,and i'm guessing but you will not be able to replicate the sound.

 

 

From the joint half way is same dia pipe all TIG welded.straight to oval tip.

[vrsRo55]

And fitted and bedded in

Excuse the dirt

 

 

 

[Fraserj]

How are they?

[vrsRo55]

Not really tried them yet.

When i get a chance to pop out on my own i'll try them,normal driving perfect...clicky clicky but grooved and dimpled characteristics expected.You know there working ha ha.

 

Just need the plug for the sensor,as i expected i have a light,easily sorted just waiting on some small shrink tubing.

 

BARGAIN!!! cheers

[vrsRo55]

Brakes are VERY good,will have to pay extra attention to avoid a rear shunt.

 

My regularly visited spot

[vrsRo55]

Well this happened...

 

 

Can't recommend Eddie-NL enough.... even dropped me off at my Hotel so i could spend time on beach with kid's while he worked hard.

And also cruise control which was a doddle for drive home,which was interesting journey in itself,as you will see from pictures.

 

Well worth it though,already planning next trip...Load's for kid's to do on sea front,Ed is a 10min drive from.

 

Many Thank's Ed nice chatting and i'm sure we will meet again  

[vrsRo55]

More detailing and after-shot's

 

 

 

 

 

[krissyneillie1]

Stunning, I love the FL but this looks perfect, notice you have a columbus fitted, is that a big job?

[vrsRo55]

No it was a straight swap.Just new surround also.

Not sure it will be same for you.Me being one of the last pre faces to leave the line,i had the new gateway.so was plug n play.

[Shadows Entity]

how do you know if you have the new gateway?

[lee_vrs]
