i should be gettin some tinted rear lights of jacko at FITP! hopfully?! think they will look good with a silver car and black windows!

 

[Anonymous]

Ive seen them on a silver one before and they do look good with all of the rear lights and windows tinted k:

 

[STEAVIE]

i have tried to do it in photoshop and it looked good will just have to fit them and find out! where did you get your bulbs from as i better get some!

o yer i just brought a 4 2 1 manifold! woo! cant wait to get that fitted! i need to make some time for my own car!

Quick update

my 4 2 1 and 20mm spacers turned up i now have boxes of stuff to fit not gonna get any of it done this week im off for a couple of days and have to start modding the other puma for my mate as well as picking up no. 3 in the morning! im still aiming to get mine done for FITP though! no. 3 might have to wait!

 

[STEAVIE]

i couldnt wait any longer for my 4 2 1 so decided to fit it tonight all was goin well! it all fits alright its just that it dosent fit to the rest of my exhaust! so now i have got to cut and re weld the rest of the exhaust! i know i was taking a risk buying a pro tech! should be good when done though!

its longer than the old cat which i had blown up im sure i know when i done it as well!

hehe!

on top of that i wanted to fit a new wishbone while i was there but it was badly made so i didnt really get any where=(
i did remove the lower part of the bumper and start preping it for spraying! its gonna be a long night tmoz! o well the joys of modifying!

 

[pumadad2010]

what manifold did you buy?
any links?

 

[STEAVIE]

ok my the exhaust is gonna be cut and welded on Tuesday and i also have a new gearbox mount coming from fords the uprated ones are a bit out of budget at the mo im saving fro some racing cams! fitted my induction hose today cars of the road at the o but im driving the other puma till my mate pays for it! suprised how well it handles with no mods!
