Header looks fab!

N1 spoiler going on this? what size discs you using on your willwoods and where did you buy from needing some new discs/pads for mine

 

[Sam]

Since I lowered the car I had noticed the exhaust had began to knock on the rear beam link, so yesterday I popped over to see Alan again at Solid Fabrication.

Pretty close

Got it up on the ramps removed the midsection and chopped out the offending piece.

Tacking up the test piece

We dropped the car down and checked the clearance and all was well so whilst he finished up that piece I looked at a few items he had around.

Here you can see one of the benefits of Tig welding, next to no weld protruding on the inside.

and a Turbo manifold he had recently finished, considering he has only been welding/fabricating for 6 years the level he is at is incredible, he has such an eye for detail.

I wanted a different back box for a bit more noise but couldnt really settle on a design

In the end settled on a 5" box with a 3" straight cut tip, Alan makes all of his silencers in house.

Offered it up to get the angle I wanted

He then tacked it all into place

And the final welds

Boom, it sounds awesome really happy with it.

I definitely prefer it to the downturn tip. Looking ace

i was going to post up that the other end with the curve did'nt suit the car what so ever, but that now looks the dogs bollox mate, looks lovely, any videos of how it sounds

 

[Simcard]

Wers ur spoyler m8?

New box looks lush, i want one of his fannymolds.

 

[Sam]

spoiler is still broke and needs painting.

that manifold was awesome, proper heavy gauge metal had a fair bit of weight to it, but all the runners are equal length.

 

[edk]

Thats beautiful work. Looks great too, design wise.

Manifold looks like the ones full race make.. Floppy tip would have been better..

 

[green-gti]

is he charging much for a 2.5 system do you know? Car looks good; is that ad08s you are running too? How are you finding them? I run them on mine and think they are brill for the street

 

[Sam]

2.5" with 2 boxes is £450
3" with two boxes is £500

I'm running Hankook RS2s, big fan of them.

 

[Spook]

Looks great Sam. I prefer the straight tip to the diesel tip you had before. It still looks subtle though. Must learn how to TIG weld soon. Lovely results.

 

[edk]

Whale.

[Rob-Gti]

Looks great, it's definitely the right choice of tailpipe for an N1.

3 inch girth beats Mr floppy every time.

 

[Sam]

I've still got the other box for when I get fed up of making a racket.

 

[inahole]

I liked the droopy tip.
