I have an OEM Y-Pipe sitting in my shed if that's any help? If you pay for it to be couriered, it's yours.

The bronze does look nice! Here are mine... you'll just have to imaging how much better it will look when my car is clean and shiny too!

It's never happened... massive oversteer / understeer accident at the first corner! Edit: Unless they have DBA's and Ferrodo

Why would you do this! You know there are Zeditus suffers on here!

Really like these, and most Alfas to be fair. One of these was on my list prior to getting the Zed.

MG ZR / ZX / ZT - Horrible chavmobiles driven exclusively by utter filth. Always wondered why the m sport X5 isn't designated MX5?

Or not...

That's not right at all. In my totally non professional opinion, I'd say your lock was too high, possibly caused by your springs?

I've just had mine done in shadow chrome and they look absolutely mint. I was worried I wouldn't like how dark they are, but the more I look at them the more I like them. I'll put a pics up tomorrow so you can see the colour, although mine is Azure obviously.

Isn't that the one that was on eBay for £40k? Seem to remember the UAE Reg... assuming United Arab Emirates?

On its way, will a cheque be ok, same as last time... :bounce: :bounce:

Hi Adam, You could do a lot worse than order these from CS, their service is always great. I would have been buying mine from them had I not managed to get some 2nd hand ones on here. I'll have my commission now please Mitz!

It looks like its one from likwid art. Yeah, looks like a Tommy Kaira. I think you can still get these by e-mailing Rob: http://likwidart.com/index.html

Classic

There are words for people like you! Man that's nice

I was so close to buying a 182 before I realised I could afford the Zed. They are great little cars and I still hope to get one as a track car in a few years

Pipe down you! No one cares or wants to hear about your 5000meg connection. Probably gained by offering yourself 1meg for every BT engineer you slept with!

Seriously? Don't see the skill... compared to what? You're obviously entitled to you opinion, but you're very wrong on this!

Mine got a hell of a lot louder over about 2k RPM after the HFC's were added. I would have thought the HFC's were the culprit over the Y-Pipe. Obviously, the increased noise comes from higher flow / more gasses going throught the system. One Y-Pipe to another doesn't make a huge difference (Although I could be wrong).

Tends to happen when you start adding bits to the exhaust system I'm afraid. I don't do many motorway miles in mine (Kinitex HFC + Nismo Cat Back) but there is definitely a sweet spot for a slight drone around 70mph / 2.5k RPM. Mine isn't bad at all, but can see how this would be really annoying if it was a lot louder. Not sure there's really much you can do other than turn the stereo up or drive over / under the 2-2.5k range? You could be forever trying different combo's of Y-Pipe etc. to make it better, but the only people that would really benefit are Tarmac and CS! Sorry I can't be of any real help, but this is always a potential issue once HFC's are added to the system.

Perfect, thanks Alex!

Thanks Guys, I think I'll replace the lot as at least half are rounded... though £50 would mean that I pretty much should have bought new spacers! I found these, although there are no prices. I assume the 12x1.25 would be ok? http://www.bimeccengineering.com/wheels-producer/lug-nuts-wheel-lugs/lug-nut-hex-17-mm/cone-seat/open-lug-nuts-cone-seat-17mm-hex-length-23-mm.html I'll also check eBay when I get home. Tom, if I end up ordering some I'll give you a shout as it should save you some P&P if you only need a few.

I recently bought some spacers (Used Eibach from a forum member) but have run into a problem when having them fitted. The Wheel Specialist (Leeds) who are also refurb'ing my alloys have said that they can’t / won’t fit the spacers as some of the nuts have been rounded. I hear that Eibach replacements are about £5 a piece, so does anyone know where I can get some for a lot less than this? Also, does anyone know the thread size/pitch etc. so that I can try to source some myself. Your help, as always, is much appreciated!

Should be no issues with doing them all at once. Just make sure you bed them in properly.

Wow! What products did you use?
