gone and bought a new dash will be here next week.
the car doesn't look like it will be ready for the 11th but it is going to be close!
hopefully have it running by this weekend coming when my megajolt bits turn up and some other goodies.

How much that cost you then James ? Looks nice !!!

should of gone vtec

kelv i didnt pay for it i did a swap for some wheels i had which i dont use.....
and craig....VTEC is for girls

That's good then you can't really grumble with that buddy. I got my dash off eBay and had to cut loads off to get it to fit but i think it's worth it now.

what dash do you have?

Not sure what it's called just was on as a race dash if I remember right. But it's on my show us yours as in the middle of putting it in so in primer till tomoz as going to spray when I finish work.

got a link to your thread kelv?

new exhaust system turned up today

ive got the exhaust sitting how it should be (ish)
and looks like i need to modify the rear beam for it to sit about half an inch higher which im sure will make all the difference as its extremely stupidly low lol
i can safely say ive never owned a car this low before
gunna be scrubbing on cats eyes at this rate lol
pics coming shortly when it stops raining.....

exhaust should sit just over half an inch higher once ive modified the beam

Looking good, could you put a slight bend in to have them through the valance?

Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

paul im getting the back end of the car sprayed and where the standard cut out is for the exhaust to come out normally is being smoothed off, i was thinking of putting cut outs in the center for the miglias, ill have to see how much higher it can come up once its bolted up

If you put in search my 1293 mini should come up mate

Thats ridiculous, you cant drive it on the road like that surely!?

The back end needs raising up and itll give you a bit more clearance, When i mounted mine i didnt have any problems with it being too low but i think thats because i dont run a beam.

mw3 it isnt staying like that....
thats the highest i could get it before it hit the beam but im having the beam modified so it can sit higher up and snug under the valance, maybe even cut outs in the valance and a touch higher than the bottom of the valance

You need to mdify that beam as they are shite! This is how I did mine.

yes matty thats very similar what im doing to mine!
except my beam is on the car now so its a little harder :(
looks like your running the same beam as me!

Yeah same beam, make sure you triangulate the L brackets and they are VERY flimsy and you can easily bend them by hand.

Im going to either chop that 10mm square section off completely, or if I get time make a new one. Im not convinced it has any use apart from getting in the way.

cheers for the advice :)
i would have thought the box section makes it a little more rigid being there and stops the beam flexing in the center?

Edited by jameswildcooper on 7th Jun, 2012.

I assume thats what its there for too, but it could just be overkill as no other beams have them that ive seen. Ive left mine on to be on the safe side for now, but it is a pain still, the handbrake cable used to rub on mine too untill I filed some channels into the box section.
