Sounds good man, let me know how you get on, no hurry. Yea it is pretty low, rear is at the lowest and front is two spins from the lowest, both on hardest settings. Handles amazingly. Smaller exhaust was a small price to pay, couldn't imagine it being any higher now. Must be good to have...

Wow can't believe it's been 1 year already. Car has come a long way since I first started the thread AND it should be a manual (w58) within the next couple of weeks cheers to Scotty (mytmk3), really looking forward to this. Fully rebuilt a340e for sale shortly. Will probably miss a few...

Where's the "7mgte owning you since 1986"? Not everyone lives in America

^ Also worth cleaning the contact on that as well, mine needed a clean to be able to get out of the lock position

Thought this was very common... The contacts on the switches need cleaning. Really easy to do and will more than likely fix it.

Thought I'd better update. Before and after pictures included (also height of car). They measured noise before and after. 99dB on old exhaust. 95dB on new. Legal limit here is 90 or 92 I think, but I can apparently get it certed at 95.

Took it down to exhaust shop today again, booked in for Monday. Decided to go 2 1/2". Also 2 1/2" resonator (only has the one) instead of 3". What will this do performance wise? The rest of my exhaust system is only 2 1/2 or 2 1/4 and is nothing flash. Hopefully I should get a good 30mm+...

Took it to Wayne Martin. Failed on no battery clamp, too loud (he never measured so not sure what reading it is) and too low (though he never said anything about the undercarriage/exhaust). Also had to go for a wof to be able to get cert and it was the wof place that picked up on the...

Looks like a very nice system, probably very expensive as well. Not only would I need the extra piping but they told me each bend was $30. I couldn't even go twin 3" because even a single 3" fitted properly and as high as possible would still be way to low. Mine would be lucky to be 50mm off...

Ah read your first post wrong... So 2 smaller pipes would give the same flow, but how much difference would having 1 smaller pipe at the back make if the rest of the system was say 3"? Seems a lot easier and I only have until 5th Aug to get it done. Will see if I can find that system tho

Cert plate goes on the car itself. Need cert for coilovers among other things. And lowest point of the undercarriage has to be 100mm off the ground for any car/suspension. I've never had that part of the exhaust scrape and it probably never will unless something goes under the car because of...

Lowered on coilovers. For cert they put the height of the car on the cert place and then you only have +/- 5% to change.

How do you have a 3" pipe and have your car sacked on coilovers while staying legal? Had a thread on this a while back but now need to get onto it for cert and wof. Basically the back of my exhaust sits slightly under the dif so is roughly 50mm off the ground and needs to be 100mm for...

It only does now that you've mentioned it

JStoked if you're talking about the hatch that is not an easy way. My cable was stretched so couldn't tighten it, so just put a cable tie between the ball at the end of the cable and the lever on the hatch itself. cheers guys

Key doesn't work (never has) and now my lever won't open it. I can hear it working but it doesn't make that popping/clicking sound. Probably really basic but have a lot of stuff in the hatch I'd have to move/crawl around to get back in there and reconnect/whatever up.

Thanks will have a look at that...but no I've never taken the door panels off since I've owned the car.

Right so today I noticed my passenger door isn't locking properly. Whenever I use the central locking switch on the drivers side door (the one that locks both) my passenger lock (the stick that sticks out of the bezel, not sure of correct name, the thing you use to manually lock/unlock it) only...

Hate the electrical side of these cars but am trying to get my boost and temp gauge to light up when the headlights come on, they're mechanical and both work but neither put out any light. The boost gauge has 1 wire coming out of it (is it missing one?), the temp has 2. My ash tray light and...

Pictures as promised...(still needs to go lower)
