Fuel tanks

[Confused]

The exhaust on the V6 is very close to breaking through, and starting to blow.

As we're looking at getting a new exhaust, we are also looking at maybe a twin exhaust - one on either side (like Atik's, but maybe not quite so "bling") - and this of course would need splitting somewhere under the car.

With the route of the standard exhaust around the fuel tank, this would be difficult. With a VR-4 tank, we can bring the exhaust straight along the middle, and then split it off to either side much more easily.

The fuel tank is being dropped soon, anyway, as there's some signs of rust starting to show through, and start of corrosion on brake lines, and we're going to catch it now that we've just spotted it starting - so changing the tank while we're there is an easy thing to do to facilitate the exhaust change.

why not chop the exhaust off all together and have it through the side of the front bumper with a motorbike can on


i know of some place where we can get it now and its free

[WildCards]

Err....

[mesobitchy]

How do you get ear defenders from 'Err...'?

That car, again is what spotty 15 year old boys who don't know any better like. Whereas in the real world, grown-ups prefer more subtle performance, less show more go if you like. Think Maserati Quattroporte.

[mesobitchy]

so are you saying that garry is a 15 year old boy who dont know any better then?
because that is what you have just called him. as he also owned a car like this.
minus the TD04 part, but his lude was just as loud in outta body mods.


oh dear, i think you need to keep quite unless you really do have some constructive to say.

[WildCards]

Mazz you and I clearly have a different opinion on what makes a nice car and what doesn't. Please, stop reacting to my comments and stop taking them so personally, it isn't just you, I say the same thing to friends who have similiar cars and people I meet on my travels.

[mesobitchy]

if you dont like what you see, dont post, dont comment dont say anything to the thread that isnt yours.

[Turbo_Steve]

But, by the same token, if you can't take criticism: don't post it on a website.

[mesobitchy]

ffs steve, this is WC just being plan rude and insulting, he has no right to.
im asking if it fitted and apperently it dose, tho minor adjustments need to be made.

u seem and so do others, its is for the rwd conversion, that was just an idea on if it can be done and if so how.

this is for the fact of something different, about exhausts, i show a car of a good firends and he, wc comes out with utter ballcarp and insults, its not advice, its abuse!

[WildCards]

I actually posted you a link for inspiration Mazz, you then posted some photo's telling what you were thinking of and I told you I didn't like it. Albeit using more words.

Apologies if you were offended.

[mesobitchy]

i, personaly would never do a front exhaust conversion, i was showing the car as to where i can get it free from

[Nutter_John]

So your thinking of running a exhaust between the two humps of the vr4 petrol tank , the petrol tank that is made of plastic and has not metal protection it that area as on a vr4 it is the propshaft that sites in the hump not the exhaust .

[mesobitchy]

john, read post 32 , second line, 7 words from then end.

[Turbo_Steve]

ffs steve, this is WC just being plan rude and insulting, he has no right to.

Maybe he was. WildCards doesn't have a reputation for ultra-tactful and well finessed posts: but then neither do you.

The point is that if anyone says something a bit rude, or a bit thoughtless, rather than resort to a witty put down, or simply disagreeing with them, you go on the offensive, Mazz.

Grow a thicker skin, roll your eyes and ignore people who post stuff you don't like and they really will just go away.


I was aware of what you were thinking with the exhaust. To be honest I didn't post as I was didn't want you to jump down my throat for suggesting a flaw in your plan.

Again.


You aren't getting on with people because you've rubbed them up the wrong way. That doesn't mean you carry on the same, it means you have to back down a bit and be conciliatory, and pretend everything is fine and great.....and it will be!

When the Hornets are buzzing loudly, don't poke the nest!

You've put massive revelations about your life online in a car club that, frankly, didn't want to know, and then expected not to be judged on what you've written. The only conclusions people have about you is through what you've written, Mazz. That's got to tell you something, surely?

[mesobitchy]

Oh dear, can we have clean up on isle 2 please, it's gone ot again.



Thanks
mazz

Think Maserati Quattroporte.

That's what Kevin bought after selling me the VR4.

Mazz, You should get hold of a fuel pump loom froma VR4 too. They plug in on the driver's side of the rear bench then go through an access panel to the twin pumps and behind the tank. I would imagine it would be compatible and possibly even a straight swap for yours. Plenty of breakers on here that should still have one.

[mesobitchy]

hummm i will give that shot!
thanks
