Re: Jamies Astra GTE 16v

fantastic looking car mate!!! exhaust looks cheap tho? what one is it?

[jamie_f]

Re: Jamies Astra GTE 16v

the oil coller fittings of the swandwhich plate are just ones from pirtek, just took the plate and bolts down and the found one that fitted preoperly, the have ribbed fittings and had double clips on the so they aint gonna leak, well they have been on there for about 4 months now and they have been fine.

as for the exhaust its a custom made one, i just wanted somthing simple so the pipes arent polished, just normal satin finsh pipes.
