Ovv Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Got me a set of mudflaps to fit, but by the looks of things the back wheels need to come off so I can get access to bend the bracket to get it secured properly. Not keen on having the car sitting on the jack when I do this, so wondered if any of the Dundee/Tayside lads had some I could borrow for a couple of hours ? Cheers Chris.
rig-pig Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 i have 2 set's you can borrow 1 for a while if you want, give you a chance to OCD clean at the back of the wheels ect, also have drive on ramps if you want a shot as you will get on just now before the car is lowered ??
notsosmall Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 I hate not being able to get mine up the drive on ramps now it's lowered
rig-pig Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 its a pain but if you have a few bob, http://www.cjautos.site90.net/hyramp.html
Ovv Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) cheers guys, fronts should be easy enough to do but the backs look a little tight without whipping off the wheels. Just fitted my 1st mod, Green Panel Filter - will hopefully get some time this weekend to do the flaps. Wont really need them for long, couple of hours at most. Cars not lowered, looking at some BC's for next year though. BTW - Need to thank you Chris... after you drove past me and the mrs last night, she commented that the hawkeye doesn't sound as good as the classic, I explained that it was cos it has a crappy powerflow system instead of an proper aftermarket one - then she said, "oh well, you can just buy a new one" Sweet !!

scouk Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) I hate not being able to get mine up the drive on ramps now it's lowered I used to use a couple stong planks of wood and some bricks underneith to give it a shallower slope to get onto the ramps.. Necessity is the mother of invention afterall its a pain but if you have a few bob, http://www.cjautos.site90.net/hyramp.html That's really quite neat!! Not too badly priced.. Expected them to cost more than that TBH! Edited October 27, 2011 by ScoUK

Necessity is the mother of invention afterall i have 2 bits of old kitchen worktop that i use and can get the back up but the front is just a pain in the
notsosmall Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 its a pain but if you have a few bob, http://www.cjautos.site90.net/hyramp.html they look cool
Ovv Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 nice one, exhaust next then ?? Yeah maybe. I want something that makes it sound similar to the Classic, nothing too loud as I don't want to make the wee one deaf when he/she arrives. Powerflow is ok but for what the previous owner paid to get it made they would have been better off putting the money to something decent.
rig-pig Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 is it just the back box ?? if so i hope they havent cut the flange off
Ovv Posted October 28, 2011 Author Posted October 28, 2011 from the last cat back if I remember correctly. Going to try and get Chris's stands tomorrow since he is just at the end of the road, but if I dont get his I will give you a PM and borrow yours if thats ok mate ?
Ovv Posted October 28, 2011 Author Posted October 28, 2011 no probs andd I can pick your brains on what mods to do as well.
