thought i'd chuck up some pics of my C70 T5..

here's some pics when i first got it (from the original add) - completely bone stock:







from there i changed the SC900 head unit out and installed my Pioneer AVH P6650 DVD unit and installed an Omori din panel below with oil temp, oil pressure and boost gauge:









Fitted Powerflex top torque mount and K&N panel filter (ignore the manky engine! lol!):



I then got a cat back stainless steel exhaust made up (2.5 inch mandrel bent with 1 straight through box and 6x4 oval tip) - looks like this:







And sounds like this:

One of the things that bothered me with the car when i got it was the wear on the drivers side bolster - which i eventually got round to fixing with the help of some liquid leather:







Getting there slowly but surely!

That looks similar to the one outside my house................

Pray tell, what did you use on the leather, that is an outstanding job you have done!

sorry i didn't reply before.. i just seen this just now (didn't receive a notification for some reason? lol!!)

it's a custom made exhaust and i got the guys at Stainless Creations in Falkirk to do it for me:

http://www.stainless-creations.co.uk/

If you've got a decent custom stainless steel place near you then i don't think it'll be too much bother for them to replicate this - look or sound wise! lol.. FWIW the tail pipe is TP56 on this page:

this will give you an idea of some of the options avaialble as they all pretty much use the same or similar tips etc..

I've got a RR day on saturday so aim to have a better video up then!!

HTH - if you need anything else, give me a shout!

Cheers for that mate.

Ive just been to a place called Blue Flame Exhausts, and they can do me a 2.5 Custom made jobby, with mandrel bends for £375 all in. Was going to ask if they would do an offer if there was a group buy, but i forgot!

I think I'll get it done, cos I want mine to sound just like yours

Oh, would love to see a "drive by" video, to see how she sounds on the move hint hint

Bleuflame - good choice!

I had a mongoose on my old MR2 (which was virtually the same as the Blueflame) and it was great.. a few of the other lads had Blueflame as they preferred the look of the tail pipes etc.. but they were great quality!

£375 is a keen price as well - i was £400 all in for mine so about the same ball park.. the 5 pot has a lovely warble to it (when you can hear it! lol!! )

Blue flame make the Mongoose exhausts for Collins Performance.
edit* Or did when i had the rs turbo(long time ago).

[pangster]

just received my grill from Rufe this morning (thanks mate! - top service again! ) - so thought i'd post some pics - not the best quality as they were only some quick snaps with my iphone - but i'll take some proper ones tomrrow:









looks a lot better IMHO.. just need to do something about the lights/indicators and decide what i'm doing with the front bumper...

[A6-TEZ]

I would leave the bumper as it is and just put the projector headlights like Hammy`s got and the indicators that would finish the front off a treat.
