what a great day...
just like to share that i had a great day out in the zed today.. met up with a load of old mr2 mates for a run that i have organisedevery year for the past 8 years.. i do not think i have ever run it in a mr2... anyway gt up gave the zed a nice clean and polish. met up with guys/gals and took photos.. i was 4 up in the zed me, lil d, me wife kels and her friend jackie.. and my zed did me proud a whole afternoon of being cained around and it was perfect only smoked a couple of times.. autobox went a bit funny when close to end of the run.. manily due to getting too hot i think and it was nearly all b roads. on the way home when it cooled down it was fine again.. i got great respect from the mr2's they could not believe the road prescence how well it shifted and were surprised how well it handled... it did not rain which was a big bonus come home ride out on the bike and now playing xbox.... what a great day.. some pics.. and i am loving me zed

well after all the Q's its now fitted
yep went and picked up HKS exhaust today from buz many many thanks buddy and great to meet ya and thanks for the tea :duffer: anyway got home had some food and set about fitted the new exhaust.. yesterday (friday) i had stripped off the old exhaust and cat pipes took to work and gutted the cats.. the blue flame exhaust that was on my car i like the quads but its not the look i want from the car in the long run.. i should still be getting singles on both sides... but anyways fitted the cat pipes back on.. easier to come off than to go back on... then started fitting the new back on.. my last exhaust was completly seperate each bank this one joins the single exit out of the drivers side.. i was so please on how well everything matched up.. every bolt hole and exhaust hanger were perfect no modification needed at all.. could tell how well made it was too fitted all up and took for a run.. and what a noise.. you can defo tell its a HKS.. sounds fab:dance: and not too noisy either just about right i would say... i can live it being single exit but will put a new rear skirt on it and when it get put on make it look like it should havea single there unless the right twin that sounds as good turns up... but i doubt it.... its really does sound brilliant well pleased and another big big bonus is that it does not smoke any where near as bad as it did before.... anyway here is a quick pic.. i will get a better one 2morrow.. been too busy driving it its defo not restricting it at all cos of the size of the pipe is the same as both of the blue flames put together :rofl: i love it. worth going single just for the noise it makes and the throttle is so much more responsive now the cats are not there too cheers for peeps helps in my questions before... especially Si hoping to see groover on monday as he wants my blue flame and iam gonna have his japspeed... see which i prefer it think.. but will prob be the HKS.. if groover does not want my blue flame. any one interested??
