Mongoose/magnex are probably the most commonly used stainless systems for the Mk1, if you haven't already sourced one then its worth taking a spin out to Paffs Mk1 aladdins cave in Caerleon...he'll be able to help you out! ;)
Is your car the one thats on autotrader? G616 G?G or something like that?? I only ask, as I remember seeing the mileage & the fact that its only 10miles from me. I was gonna have a look but TBH I just dont have the room for another :evil:
Hi guys. Yeah my car has been in Auto Trade recently (G616***). Thanks for the advice on exhaust systems. I'd like to talk to 'Paff' regarding any old system that may be of use to me. Also if i may be cheeky and pick your brains - currently the middle box section is blowing badly, when driving you can smell petrol fumes, luckily i dont smoke!! Is this down to a knackered exhaust system or is the smell more siister. :( :cry: Thanks. Steve.
Hi there mate.
The smell of fuel is more likely to be the fuel vapor breather valve, nothing to worry about just get yourself a new one.

As for the exhaust I made a discovery yesterday that my spare stainless one has a split where the exhaust hanger is so will need to get some stainless wire in order to fix it. I might be able to get hold of a stock system but not sure if there is anything in the unit at the moment, too many shelves to loose things on :)
Always welcome to pop down and have a look tho, people get lost for ages there and sometimes get priveliged with the sound of the quiet V6 :)
I can vouch for that! :lol:Quote:

Hi Steve.
Got a bit snowed under today, bloody corsa booked for an mot tomorrow packed up and its taking up valuable space so had to get on sorting that, so I apologise I didn't get chace to look through the racking for the exhaust.
The stainless mongoose one I'm hoping to fix as soon as I get hold of something to weld stainless, I know where one of the stock systems is but thats been promised to someone else a few weeks back, but I'm sure I had another 1 lying around somewhere If not one of the other lads might have one.
I've saved your number now and will give you a call but tbh I'm down the unit from 9am most days until I collapse and need a pint in the evening so anytime you wanted to pop down just give me a shout on 07977984309. Apart from Wednesday evenings that is.
Oh Mark, you want your wheels, exhaust sometime :) oh and that wing I have for ya :)
On that note, I've finished for the day, I'm off to the pub :)
Hey Paff, sorry mate have been a wee bit busy lately...what with babies, work, stag-wkend & the small matter of a wedding in 3 1/2 weeks! :shock:
Mite be able to pop down over the wkend if you're about? You'll have to start charging me for storage at this rate :lol:
:+:
No worries mate, they are out the way above a stock of engines at the moment anyway :)
I think I'm about on the weekend, give me a shout to make sure tho :)
Cool, I'll give ya a call over the wkend to see if we can meet up :+:
Incidentally, if you come across anyone who wants the roadster alloys will you let me know as I have no need for them & they'll only end up collecting dust in my garage :(
Just FYI, there's a new forum-style classifieds section appearing soon that could be useful ;)Quote:
