Jus went to fit a mongoose exhaust and it seems the downpipe is hitting off the subframe and wont go far enough to line up with the turbo elbow are S1 and S2 downpipes different?

Just thot actually, the back end of the exhaust was on the ground, so maybe it had to be hooked on before it would clear the subframe?

 

Just enlighten me as to where the sub frame is on a MK3?!

 

Does a proper S1 exhaust go over the rear wishbone?

 

s2 exhaust will fit a s1 mate and yes the original s1 exhaust went over the rear wishbone rare as rocking horse shit now though

 

I haven't a clue what hes talking about

And its only OE exhausts that run through the wishbone, anything uprated is the same as any other escort.

 

yea mongoose will defin go under the wishbone

 

It's on and im a spaz, its cos the back end wasnt hooked onto the rubbers it looked like it wouldnt line up to the turbo but it does

 

Spastic

wheres this sub frame then, amuse me

 

well what do you call the bit that the gearbox bolts to, and bolts to the crossmember?

 

MOUNTS

 

mountS? thats one big fuck off mountS

 

The arms off the boxes are part of the mounts, and then theres the anti roll bar kidney plates as people call them.

generally a subframe is a whole frame that bolts to car and holds the engine

I still can't get my head around what you were struggling with though lol

 

well it basically is a form of subframe so get it roon ye

anyway

the downpipe was hitting off the corner of the "kidney plate" as you call it, and thus wasnt allowing it to go forward enough to mate up with the turbo elbow!

problem = exhaust wasnt up on the mounts at the rear, as had it all in one piece under the car, so it was somehow stopping it from coming onto the turbo elbow at that angle, rectified by mounting the rubbers at the back - that help ure small brain

 

Its not a subframe.....mondeo's have subframes.......

Congratulations and celebrations on being a prize muppet

You prize

 

Have you hooked the exhaust up at the back ??

 

Tony, its on, that was the problem

Chav, who cares for exact names of parts? least im not an ugly c*nt

 

Durrrrrr

Think there was a bit of sarcasm in Tony's post

 

Oh yea, forgot I had to simplify it in the post above for a simpleton

 

You had already told us 3 times Davvy

 

Hey your the one having the troubles with it

Im sure everyone but me understood it seems the downpipe is hitting off the subframe even though your car hasn't got a subframe

 

 

Not MY fault, it's that chav end winding me up with his corectness/dumbness, he'll be eating a fist if he keeps it up

 

Just ignore him Davvy hes a

You give me all the inspiration I need

 

I'd say 26 minutes maximum judging by the post times, not as long as your 2hrs and 35 mins for that 'attempt'

 

I went offline damn it

See the way my contribution doesnt line up perfectly?? Thats cos i spent about 5 mins on it tops then got bored

 

Isnt it just because your a brainless chav?

 

Well that could also be part of it but lets not drag old shit up

 

Andy on a recent night out
