:lol:

Okay well any bigger and you do something to something... a hole is too big and some walls are compromised.

Just like in women, it's undesirable.

Can anyone recommend a back box ?
Will be getting a custom mid section done at somepoint this year but until then I want a wee bit of exhaust noise not too much though. Or if you know of a good system for sale ?

Back to this thread again....
After the incident with the lorry i have decided to keep the lude, save up and get it running properly. (I could buy something else and just get problems, at least this way i know the car will be solid).
The engine is starting to give a wee bit of blue smoke, and the mounts are starting to squeak. I will be looking at getting a rebuild done. Wanting to try get as much power as possible from the car, and if it means taking it easy for a few months then thats what i'll do. Can anyone give me options on what routes to go down. It has the AEM V2 Ind. Kit and an aftermarket GReddy Evo 2 exhaust system. Will be looking for engine mods and bigger brakes. So any advice will be greatly appreciated and if anyone has any parts that may help me please PM me :) im prepared to spend a few £K on the car so......

in my opinion i think all of your troubles lie in the wind resistance and drag caused by the front greddy lip. it needs to be sold to me to help with the engine rebuild too. :D :?
