Looking good mate. Was it easy to black the front badge? Thinking about doing this myself but don't want to fudge it.

Its a Roger Clark Motorsport Open cone, they are made for Scoobys but just fits in the bay, K&N filter. Bought it from Boomhauer

Re: Dj-liamc's Black LCR

Finally got my 3" Dp on and a custom decat to match! and it seems to spool up alot quicker and a has more pull to it . Had to change my Dogbone mount as the tt dp was knocking on the steering rack and vibrarting the whole car, so i got that done which has got rid of the knocking but still the flanges in the middle of the dp is vibrating on the bulkhead slightly so i need to get that sorted! Other than that very happy with it.
Anyway Got a Bluflame catback on the way to finish exhaust off!

Ok More bad news. Bin holiday for a week, got home to go for a drive , started it and then my clutch pedal dropped to the floor and found fluid dripping off the undertray Managed to get it working again by bleeding it and pumping the clutch but the new fluid is still pissing out so its only a matter of time till the clutch goes again
i think its a split slave master cylinder which is a geabox off jobby. Not nice to come back off holiday to this.
I will be taking the gearbox off soon (again) so i might just replace the clutch too for peice of mind and sort my exhaust out too.

Oh dear sorry to hear that mate.Not nice to come off your holiday to.

 

[J@mes W]

Sorry to hear about your bad news fella, i hope you get it sorted soon. Nice car BTW, it looks lovely.

Keep us up today with your progress!

 

[DJ-LIAMC]

Cheers, Well i might be lucky here. Looking for the leak closer yesterday, i found that it wasnt leaking from the gearbox but the bleed nipple pipe where the rubber connects, hopefully this is the culprit so wont be a big job and should be cheap. just need to find a replacement.

 

[DJ-LIAMC]

Sorted it i think! just a tiny o-ring rubber wasnt attached to a small pipe properly causing it to leak, Pushed it on right and now its Fine.

Ok quick update Spent the weekend sorting the exhaust out cutting and chopping the dp up to fit better, took off the flanges changed a few bends and welded back up, took ages! Also the change of shape in the dp meant i had to change the decat too. Here are the pics.

DP (just tacked up)

Decat (not welded yet)

Finished and on. Alot more clearance all round than the old setup and No more knocking vibrating!

 

[DJ-LIAMC]

Finally Recieved this today after a 10 week wait! Blueflame catback

Should be fitted this weekend looking forward to it.

Looking good Liam Is it me or has the blueflame tailpipe design changed a little? The lip around the tip didn't use to be so big did it?

 

[DJ-LIAMC]

Thanks, I aint got a clue danny never really looked at them, hopefully will sound better than standard will get some vids up when its done, Never heard one with a decat.
