Grrrr!
Just gone to fit my spangly new Janspeed Xpower back box, so much woe just for a shiney exhaust.
<rant>
1.) of course the bolts were rusted to the mid and back box, so ended up attempting to angle grind them off.
1b.) realised where my fuel tank was decided not the best course of action. So drove with a huge gash in my back box, and was pleasently suprised a the nice tones being produced.
2.) took it like a $2 wh0re and asked the garage next door to take a look and get the old one off.
3.) all going smoothly until... the mid section bore was smaller than the new back box bore.
4.) realised some butt monkey who had the car before me scanked and put the Rover 45 mid section in.
5.) got no pennies after buying the right mid section and paying the garage to fit it all.
</rant>
Phew!
Bonus i suppose is i know the lads at the garage so it cost me £49 for mid section (trade price)
£0 labour, well £10 cash and an Autoglym valet box set (free from work) ;)
oh and £150 for Janspeed back box.
Photo's to follow :)
