[Ollie133cup]

Lol love that youve put a road flare in the car haha.

Car looks great, have you got any videos of the exhaust yet?

 

[Sharpy]

im not sure :/ each to their own

would look better with the right size import plates though.

Well, which size do you think they're meant to be?

Because JAPANESE Import plates are 13" x 6.5", does half an inch made much difference? I think not...

Ollie, cheers I saw it in my mates DC2 ITR and thought "OOOOOOHHH! Me want!" It's something a bit different you don't see everyday too

No videos yet, might see if I can talk Kelly into doing an exhaust video on Tuesday night...
It's more on Idle and Overrun you notice it, it just adds to the intake noise when you hoor it.

Micro Update: SEATS :twisted:

Now I've just struck a deal with my mate, I shall be the owner of some OE Japanese Seats by the end of the week
Bought the OMP Subframes to go with them that SHOULD arrive on Wednesday

P.S - While I'm on the Topic of OMP subframes, do they have drilled holes for the Seat belt Pre-tensioners?

Nope only holes for sidemounts/base mounted seats.

Cheers Matt, I saw the picture of the bracket and it looked as if it had a separate set of 2 bolt holes on the left side on the right frame and the right side on the left frame.

I've had OMP Subframes in my Rover before and they didn't come with them, so was just wondering

How did you mount your pretensioners?

Ive been in the real jap scene mate, so i know how much difference it makes, heres a pic of how a PROPER sized import plate looks on my old yaris.

Not the best close up pics but you can that they are more rectangle than square the letters arent as bold either. constructive criticism

They are 330mm wide X 165mm High if i remember rightly.

The plate was bought to be Compliant so I didn't get pulled every time I wanted to go for a drive from pedantic Traffic Officers with Tape Measures.

It got made up as-was...

SM5
9AWJ.....Just don't look right.

Being as the Japanese Issue plates for Private Vehicles above 660cc are 13" x 6.5" (Green Text, White Plate) and I won't get done for non compliant plates, it's good enough for me

And, 330 x 165mm is 13" x 6.5" - Still don't think half an inch makes much of a difference :lol:

Appreciate what you're saying though

They strict where you live like? had no bother at all with them where i live, didnt think twice about it. I knew that they were sort of frowned upon though by the police but its worth the risk haha!

I know i was just thinking if it was or not, thinking out loud! i have always thought that its meant to be 3 letters on the top line and 4 underneath! obvioussly doesnt affect me due to my reg! haha

They have been known to turn up to the local cruise with the VOSA Van and Tape measures...not so much recently, there's usually someone that puts out a heads up anyways.

I hope my new subframes arrive so I can get my seats fitted for Thursday and get some Pics up

 

[madmatt]

Well, figured I would get you folk some pictures of the exhaust system while I was under the car.

From First OE Box (toying with whether to take it out or not....)

Over Axle Bend

Into Backbox

And, I managed to get my new seats in, but it was dark once I finished...so this is the only pic you're getting :lol:

I WILL Update tomorrow with proper Seat Pics
