hensh65 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Last night i got my front and rear lights fly eyed, bit marmite but there you go. That went fine thankfully. This morning i got up early to make a journey to get my double din fitted. My car has a clarion sub and amp that i didnt fit so didnt fancy doing the job myself. Bought the kit of incartech to make sure i had the right things. The guy comes out and tells me the loom i have is wrong. He goes on to try and explain why but said hed order me up one but not to get rid of mine as he might need it...... i think the loom is right and he had over cooked his work and didnt want to do it today. Well not that bad ill go back next Saturday. So i thought i would go to halfords, bought some new megs shampoo and polish and some spray paint to do the window wipers. Queue next problem, got the passenger one off but couldnt for the life of me get the drivers one to budge. Wd40 and yanking as hard as my girly frame would allow to no avail. But nope i am useless Put the passenger one back on and drove my mate to pick up his car from the garage. On a spirited drive home (he has a mk2 ttv6 quattro) i pull up at the house with the window down. Boom exhaust is blowing. Looks like its coming from the y pipe. Will need to try and annoy neilp as i always do to cast his eye over it. Terrible day but i have locked up and cracked open a beer. Have a good weekend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 No excuse now not to go and wash my car, get Neil to pick you up and he can give you a hand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ350z Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Ah mate that is fairly rotten ! Beer sounded like the best way to end a day like that My exhaust might be blowing and my blower randomly turns on due to the white cable cord being slightly damaged..and to top it off noticed the tiniest tiniest little ding in my passenger door.. its so small its fecking hard to see but still wound me up.. might have been there since ownership tbh ! You'll get it sorted though Edited September 6, 2014 by SJ350z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilp Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Just seen this! Is it the y-pipe that's knackered mate or the gaskets? I have a couple of spare gaskets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Looking on the positive side, might be a good time to upgrade the Y pipe, lots of good options at decent prices 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I'd thought you would already have a cat-back lol. What system have you got from the Y-pipe back? Get a Cobra... join my non-modified club 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
