Looking good nikhil, pretty much going to do the same. Except powerflex bushes allround. And remap by Promotec.

Did they hollow the cat in the downpipe? or did they cut it out and fit a piece in place of it?

Howzit bud, they cut out the cat and replaced it with a straight pipe. Hollowing out the cat and putting it back is a definite no :fishwack:

Another update today. Finally fitter the x3 rear diff mountings I got from Moranor, however only one of my mount were broken lol. Also replaced the center propshaft carrier bearing and the rubber Guibo thing. The carrier bearing was showing some signs of wear but nothing major and the Guibo was almost perfect but replaced that with a new one aswell. Did the Gearbox mounts also as the 1 had a hairline crack on it so both were replaced as caution :=):

I only took 2 pics as I was helping the guys with the car. wanting to see how everything works and is removed and put back:rollsmile:







Oh I would strongly suggest that this is done by a workshop as it is a Biiaaaaaatch to do:argh:

Yeah everyone told me I must just get the big front bush but lucky I got all 3 due to ocd wanting to replace everything as it was just the rear left one that was in 2 pieces lol.

Haha shot dude I found it like that:rollsmile:

So another update, the sale of my car is still not set in stone. I attended to a few things that were annoying the hell out of me!I had a light vibration on the steering at 120 or higher and a bit of pull to the right when breaking hard. removed the front wheels to inspect the suspension and found that the sway bar links were looser than a 40 year old hooker:flyfun: so I replaced them this morning. also wanted to tackle the rear brakes but the sun got the best of me so I stopped past at my buddy's at supa quick kyalami to get it fitted as well as do the alignment on the car. lots of pics below:=):
