ok had a fair bit of work done.
Texaco graphics came off and Nathan @ I-Tuned who does all fabrication work and is a work of art knocks spots of Haywood and Scott and at a better price.
hes starting to put a bit of livery on my car and hes finished my twin exhaust system which is 4" all the way through. so anyone want custom work done give him a bell say stuart sent you. you wont be dissapointed

no unfortunately, it has a 4 inch down pipe which splits into 2x 2 1/2" that go round each side of the gearbox

then come to meet at a massive split box in the centre of the car, then they both turn around the coner and face out with a big box each side before they exit under the side skirt

Very impressive exhaust, iirc the BTCC cars had a recessed floor where the side exit sat so it tucked up nicely although to be fair they don't sit that bad on yours as it is.

Good work from that company though, very tidy

Hhhhmmm!!! what sort of cash would you be looking for it and do you have pictures - and does the kit have to be trimmed at all or does the pipe exit under the kit?

no cutting needed at all thats the good thing it has quik release vbands in 3 places for ease of taking it off.
the end pipe goes under kit.

not too sure on the old exhaust yet mate will give you first refusal when i decide to most likely be weekend

I like the new livery. I love the Eggenberger look, but this gives the car its own identity, which is a good thing, better than trying to replicate something it's not.

Methinks that might be quite loud though!!!!

I think the i-tuned graphics look miles better than Texaco - as said it's more individual

Looks way better then the Texaco livery. The Texaco livery should only be on a Eggenberger car, not on a road car

Good job!

Long awaited Update

Got it started today after fitting new custome fuel setup etc etc.
it fired straight up on base map which was setup for a completely wrong setup.
and suprisingly the exhaust is really quiet and really suprise. Tabetha and I need to have a play about with Map to get the running well enough to run it in. also need to setup the electrics to the stack dash.

will get pics up asap!
