Lol nor did i say it was easy but to do it on your own in a day on a drive has gotta be good. I'll be attempting it in a workshop with a hand and was hoping to get it out in half a day (first time) so gives me hope at least. Why the change back to tottally standard? |

Half a day on a first go  If the lump has been in the car years then most bolts will be a slag to undo and I'll bet the down pipe bolts need cutting off as well |

Nice one Bowen, I've done quite a few now in my time as well. And you're right, the longest part IS prepping the new lump to go in... ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

When I dif mine a few months ago I completely agree Bowen. Those f*cking exhaust bolts were a nightmare as well as the lower mount bolts. Pretty impressed you did it on your own. I had a helper and I was swearing like s trooper! ________________________________________ China's ALIVE !!! |
