iam running a std header with a sportex unsilenced race tube and a spoon N1... its LOUD!!! does anyone know if i'll pass an MOT with these mods?

yeah checked them yesterday and there fine, so its baffled me a little as it was fine when i first fitted the kit. had it on there about 3 months now and had no problems but all of a sudden its started knocking slightly.

iam running a spoon N1 with a sportex 2.5" race tube and just recently i can hear it starting to knock slightly up near the bend on the backbox. it wasnt before so how can i put this right. any ideas?

ive just bought a spoon n1 with a sportex unsilenced b pipe. ive also ordered all new gaskets and fittings to fit it up with. ive ordered just straight oem replacments for it are they okay to fit it all together or do i need different fitting to mate these two new parts together? thanks

ive just bought a new centre pipe and i need to change the gaskets and nuts and bolts between on both ends, could anyone tell me what the names of the things iam looking for are please? i did check out the parts page on the lings site but i still didnt really know what i was looking at. would...

anyone know the part numbers for the exhaust gasket between the midpipe and cat and also the backbox to midpipe gasket? much appriated

whats peoples opinions of the sportex silenced race tube? it will be mated to a spoon n1 backbox. what will it sound like you recon? iam trying to achive a sporty raspy sound not a deep boy racer tune. and as i cant find ANY spoon b pipes anywhere secondhand!! so iam looking to other alternaives.

I cant find any spoon b pipe on the second hand market so what other b pipes would fit my spooon n1 backbox without modification? What are silenced pipes like ? I like the scorpion b pipes anyone had experience with scorpion?

what about adjustable lower control arms are they going do any good for the FRSU?

what do secondhand mugen style spoilers go for?

whats the perfect drop iam looking for to gain a best advantage for a FRSU

i live in near norwich and those places are miless away! theres a race/rally centre that does all goemetry set ups etc and they said they will do it. just needed to tell them what set-up i want. it will be tracked occasionally and used daily on the road. so don't know what to go for! dont want...

i know the general set up *** have for a basic fast road. but i am looking to track it as well as drive on the road, so what are people using?

iam looking to have a FRSU done but dont know what figures i need to ask for. can anyone tell me??

yes i totally agree, yeah i had a feeling they might be a budget brand! so thanks for that bud. think iam going to stick with my original idea and get the eibach pro's!

Hey guys i brought my new EP3 the other day and iam unsure of what oil is in it. So iam just gona do an oil change and start from scratch. So to do and oil change is it just the case of removing the sump plug and taking off the filter and letting it all drain, then after Pop it back on and fill...

Oh yeah it is, just want the whole package to perform at its best!

i want a Spoon N1 backbox but cant seem to find any secondhand at the moment. but people are telling me they have the rep and it still does just as good of job for the price. but surly the replica has to be cheaply made and surly the baffles cant be half as decent am i right? plus i believe for...

How can i rectify this problem and keep the HID's? I just checked the receipt and there hids4u aswell. Would a garage be able to sort the problem?

I dont know, i bought the car today and it had them on so dnt no weather its a cheap kit or not, the beams excellent on themit doesnt look cheap. i dont get how it would effect the signal of all things though :/? Any ideas?

I like them though so i wanna keep em on, why would turning them on cause radio interference?

Can anybody help? Ive got a 6000k hid xenon kit On my ep3 and when i turn the headlights on i start to get interference with my radio signal. When i turn them Back off the radio works Perfectly again. Anyone had this issue with theirs n know whats the cause and no how to fix the Problem? Thanks

cheers stoo, what you recon of a scorpion centre pipe sileneced with an N1 back box will be like?
