Apologies for the slight hi-jack. I think everyone got the full effect of my new exhaust at the weekend Tom. Think it just has the edge on Twiss'.

Only going to use one cherry bomb, had the exact setup on my old SJ413 and she sounded fantastic, nice and burbly and was great on the overrun. And yes I am very glad I did that gasket!! She runs silky smooth now, did have a tappety noise before and now I know what it was!

You still running the front silencer?

Mine is just a cherry bomb, a small one at that.

New rear shocks are done...the old ones felt like they had been welded in place, took an age to get them off accompanied by much swearing! It's made such a difference, going to get some new fronts too.

Guess it's confession time, they are KYB shocks, perfectly good stuff but a bit bland. I took off the top turrets and painted them white then put the Procomp stickers on. Bit of a cheat but they certainly look the part. Just wanted the old girl to look her best and I can't afford the real McCoy, so... :lol:

Cheers matey! Fronts to do next, cherry bomb in the post and that should be done quite soon too. Just need to go a bit wider and a bit higher. Might do a small body lift, having a think about it at the mo.
