Hi, not finished yet, but a vented hood nearly complete.. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/98kellrs/P1010179.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/98kellrs/P1010175-1.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/98kellrs/P1010195.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/98kellrs/P1010203.jpg ...

Hey Ryan, do you have any sound files from your side-exit exhaust? i wanted to make the same thing, but i wonder how loud it would be with an aftermarket silencer. which one do you have in the car? No I don't sorry! Even with a silencer it's bloody loud. I would honestly say that as a general mod f...

Surely you mean Cuddles?

Yeah but thats not a 480 is it?

Nice! Good to see I'm not the only side-exit 480 on here!

awesome, looking forward to seeing it!

Not to mention the fun factor in sideways driving at the slightest hint of rain!

Very nice! Make sure you get lots of photos!

Also, do you reckon these resonators would provide back pressure for NA engines? The reason being that I too am wanting to redesign my (already short!) exhaust to remove the silencer without losing back pressure!

Gotta be able to get a 2nd hand Lotus 7/ Caterham kit copy for under a grand?

I *think* it's just a sound improvement, but not 100%.

Malham is very nice! Been there on several geology field trips, staying in the old farmhouse by any chance?

ok so are you planning on doing away with the back box? or will that be attached to the end? Nice ideas putting the resonators in!

They're 14's aren't they?

In all honesty the KV85's a probably a bit overkill, I chanced upon them 2nd hand from a forum member and doubt that it's worth paying for a new set. The 8mm blue ones are probably a good upgrade however.

I've got some Magnecor RV85's (red), and they're pretty awesome, got a million miles garuntee too!

Bit of a while since my last post. So thought an update was needed! The new bonnet is good, slight sagging problems in the middle which is making it catch on the windscreen wipers but that will be corrected when I next see the car over Christmas. Also, annoyingly the exhaust is blowing AGAIN. If i s...

Check out ebay, there's usually loads on there

All good things have to come to an end I guess! Sad to see you go Groomus, and thanks for the years of advice and input!

Well that and the series of award winning computer games that bear his name... but I get what you mean!

I heard about this, such a shame. I shook his hand once at a local rally, he seemed so friendly and nice!
