JiP Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Honestly Venetians and the cannon don't combine really well IMO. Are there any plans for a change with the exhaust at all? I don't see a problem?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lildvl83 Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 thanks jip, i agree. i don't see a problem with it, and its my car anyway. I'm not out to please everyone, cos thats impossible. i want my car to look like its had work done to it, i don't want it to look nanna spec. i reckon once the paint works done it should all come together nicely :D where did u get ur venetians from? i noticed u painted urs. are they from another 30?

Tume Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 :) I was simply curious about whether an exhaust change was in the works at all, not expecting anyone to do what I like. Agree that when the paint is done it should be a definite eye turner, not that it isn't already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke30Rolla myles Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 hey are you sure that there is a leak i got it done at profix like 4 weeks before u brought it, it comes with warnty i still got the paper i think so if i find it u can take bak there n get fixed for free I'm miss the rolla so much and hope u like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke30Rolla myles Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Will more than likely be where the extractors meet the exhaust system. Looks like Myles never got around to getting it done properly. I put that engine in :) i did get it done at profix and WE put it in lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lildvl83 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 hmmm maybe somethings come loose or they didnt do something properly??? i dunno but its a definate leak. it really ticks when under load, but not at idle (and its not an engine tick either, def sounds like exhaust) didnt notice it as much when i first got it so it might have been something thats surfaced recently??? if u do come accross paperwork, let me know. i'll definately chase it up thru them. did u take it back to them to get the bolts tightened at the extractors? (sposed to be done after bout 500-1000kms) did u ever get the car tuned? its idling weird atm. anyway, yeah i love the car. its frickn awesome. i didnt expect it to be as powerful as it is (well compared to my old auto 3k) decided I'm gonna keep the motor as is and upgrade and replace it when it needs to be (or when i get bored, which ever comes first :) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmac80 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 hmm iw ould suggest to many people not to trust profix to do your exhaust! dodgy quality and very expensive compared to a proper shop like well hung exhausts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lildvl83 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 hmm iw ould suggest to many people not to trust profix to do your exhaust! dodgy quality and very expensive compared to a proper shop like well hung exhausts yeh i know, i have had bad experience with them before. i dropped a car in for a service, and it came back with a cracked head, and they didnt tell me. i only noticed cos i took the oil cap off and it looked like a strawberry milkshake. my brother also took a car in for a service and it came back only running on three cylinders. both the cars were fine before they went in for a routine service. talk about dodgy!!!! i take my cars to d&t for my exhausts. they treat me properly, (not like a girl that doesnt know whats going on) they've done a few cars of mine.

What about lime green that will go OK with the number plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lildvl83 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 service and tune went ok, except timing chain is stuffed. so gotta get that fixed asap. trying not to drive it unless i have too :y: but on a good note, might finally be getting the paint done. the cars going to my fiancees mates place to be checked out but hes pretty interested in doin it. have decided on the current model ford focus colour called titanium grey, then hopefully a pink pearl over the top.
