 Expert Posts: 5629  Location: Letchworth/Basildon | Hey bud, is the exhaust 4-2-1 or 4-1? I'd like to see what the clearance is like for the downpipe under the car  Looking good though, bay needs a little tidy up  | ||

Also if I could ask you a big favor...have a quick measure how much space there is between exh ports and slam panel/rad? Where abouts are you based? Would love to come see it in person for some ideas | ||

Expert Posts: 5629 Location: Letchworth/Basildon | t3gav - 28/5/2012 9:51 PM I think we had a similar convo in another thread Am in Potters Bar so not too far Ah I have a vague memory of this! Will you be around next Tuesday? I drive from Letchworth to Basildon at the beginning of each week for work so would be passing pretty close. Drop me a PM if you're around to save cluttering the thread. Any further plans for this car? | ||

| Elite Veteran Posts: 664 Location: Herts | Glad you liked it Munday ; ) Have braided brake lines and new rear wheel cylinders going on this week, have managed to lose about 20kg or so whilst still making it look standard from the outside. I was going to turbo it but am thinking I might drop a B18C6 in there, that will give me an extra 37bhp and a bit more torque Edited by t3gav 7/8/2012 10:50 AM | ||

The aftermarket metro ones are 2", you'd see some healthy gains just by getting a 2.5" made up and some EK9/ITR cams | ||

| ||
| Elite Veteran Posts: 664 Location: Herts | Yeah was thinking of going that route but tbh I know I would get bored of small gains lol, will change the exhaust when I change/upgrade the engine | ||

| Elite Veteran Posts: 664 Location: Herts | You are probably getting confused between a B16 B16B and B18C6, the latter is the 1.8 type r, you can get B18's cheaper but the the type r's are sought after and demand a premium, I have just been offered a B18C6 for £1000, B16B is the 185bhp 1.6 type r and are also similar money Edited by t3gav 8/8/2012 1:12 PM | ||
