I hate my car!

[dansedgli]

I just found out that my exhaust system is going to cost me another $500 to get raised as it all needs to be redone, my cat if fooked and he is going to put a better muffler on it as well.

After the superlows went in my already problematic cat height dropped to 4.3cm. I scrape on my driveway and it is flat!!

There does my cam and retune money :

Heathcote is only 1 more pay away for me :( I wanted to at least test it a few times before driving to heathcote, I dont want it to break on me so far away.

[EASPRINT]

bring it down to exhaust bro's !!

[dansedgli]

Its already getting taken care of. Im happy with the price considering he is changing the muffler and cat, pipe over the diff and whatever else.

Its just a pain cos that money was going towards going faster!

[dansedgli]

Just got an update, I now have 9cm clearance woo hoo! Almost double!

[XRated]

9cms, you've gotta be happy with that! I hope no cop wants to ping you for not being the full 10cm :S

[dansedgli]

yeah the bastards! If I get done for clearance I know they will check under the bonnet! Grrr!

I think when the 17's go back on it will go up the extra I need!

[BoZZa17]

neb your car gone up the *** now??

[neb]

yeah boz its a bit stuffed at the moment... engine is still burning oil, and i've killed my clutch but it will be good again soon.

p.s. my brother said he dragged your the other day and beat you hehe, he is a p plater in a green eb sedan with king lows in it otherwise stock auto.

yeah most likely thats his girlfriend. i think he would beat you it keeps up with my car before i killed the clutch... its doing 0-100 in 8 something seconds... not bad for a dead stock auto eb.

[LTDHO]

Hey Dan, who is doing it for ya?

BTW, a copper can sting you even if your ride hight is 99mm!

[dansedgli]

I got exhaust fix in croydon to do it. He did a nice job, he just replaced the middle section and modded the tail pipe over the diff. I drove to st kilda marina last night and didnt scrape anywhere. I have about 95mm clearance but I reckon it will be fine once the 17's are back on. I have 14 inch stockies on there now.

Im not too fussed about the rideheight from a defectable point of view, I think if they are going to get me it will be the turbo that does it. In which case Ill buy a newer car and transfer everything.
