Warrimoo Dodgy BD Roll Bar Fitting Day - Pics Available

Well that was lots of fun.

That sort of day was one of the reasons I originally joined the club for. It's a pity more roll bars didn't end up turning up on time, but I guess that makes for an excuse for another dodgy day in the future.

A big thanks to Bigdog for opening up his shed to us and especially to Mrs Bigdog for putting up with the MX5 invasion and for the catering work.

It was great to put faces to a few of the newer forum members too. :mrgreen:

Nah mate not really... I might have to take it to an exhaust place and get the rear muffler replaced.... But before that I'll rip all the heat shields off

Either that or I'll go extractors, 2 1/4 system, and hi flow cat just to be sure!! :mrgreen:

Thanks for your assistance anyways

Thanks from me as will Mr and Mrs Bigdog! Had a great time.

That Cold Side intake roars like a bitch! Not sure of any performance gain but it's gotta be getting cooler air from the intake side. :twisted:

Thanks for the lunch, drinks and desert. Most welcoming and great company all round. Can't wait till our rollbars actually come in! We can do more than one :lol:

PS. Deceleration rattle is still there

Here's mine link.

I expect something similar Bevan

Actually, the best sample would be from Albert's (Conchaee) video camera from yesterday. Whoever was video taping would have got me in 4th gear going past. Will PM him now and see if I can get that footage

Did the exhaust stop leaking after a trash around Wakefield Bevan?

Not sure. Will stick my head under there a little bit later. Gilly was having the same problem. Aparrently undoing the bracket the braces the cat to the chassis prevents it from leaking again. If its started leaking again, this will be the next thing to do. I'll do it at the next dodgy roll bar day.
