From that description it sounded like a supercharger conversion, imagine my dissapointment to find you'd just fitted a loud exhuast

I've not been allowed to drive it

It's my dad's pride and joy! Even his wife hasn't driven it!

But it does handle pretty well (for an Anglia), and being ~850kg it's a bit quicker than the original L series was

It's a carbed 1.8, too.

Quick video of him taking it out of garage few months ago (3gp file)

Turbo > Super

And why'd you have to say 'loud exhuast'.

That makes me cry

It's probably about as loud as your Longlife!

Doubt it, you can't fit a small baby up the tailpipe of Fox's longlife

Will take the car out tonight to get some decent driveby footage.

With uzi's innit? :cool:

I have a hole in my exhaust back box about the size of a 10p coin and my fuel economy isn't all that great.

but your scorpion zorst will last longer

Aye, must be a massive improvment mate.

I found having a decent zorst just makes the car much more responsive.

Worth every penny imo.

That and the standard exhaust was harder to get off than the new one was to get on :confused:

, i blame rover for that though

My dads celica has a scorpion exhaust, and my experience of that has told me they're pretty damn good exhausts, and fairly cheap for what they are too.

Lopéz · 26 Jun 2006 at 19:20

Standard exhausts are nearly always hard to get off, they tend to rust inside and bond together.

So when you fixing mine

Mine does feel a little slow on pickup, ill see how much a new MAF is tomorrow from the stealers....

But the exhaust wont help either.

Took that stupid LED brake light off the back screen today which didnt even work, and removed both the stickers, theres actually some rear visibility now!

agw_01 · 27 Jun 2006 at 11:48

Well, I think I broke it

It's blowing quite bad where the cat joins the downpipe. Need some exhaust paste pretty soon I think.

I think it was all of the 0-60 runs I was doing last night... must have dislodged it slightly.

Anyway, I did get some footage, quite a lot actually. Just got to sort through it after lunch and will get some up.

It sounds quite raspy on camera, probably due to the slight blowing at the cat. In real life, it really is nice and subtle.

What?

You don't like small videos, buy us all a decent DV camera each :confused:

I'm pretty sure we all upload videos to the best quality we have available tbh.

You need a new gasket don't you?

For which part?

I didn't think there was a gasket for the cat to downpipe. I just thought most people used exhaust paste.

That's what was on there before anyway.
