[Scorpion]

Does look and sound nice Mate.

Deans on his way to get twin exhausts now as i type so i'll get some pics later.....

[Monster-Mat]

his will look better, i threw this one together for function rather than form.....its not the most stunning looking system

[johnboy]

i was in the motor trade for 18 years and have seen some remarkable cars but what you have done beats it all.

another vid has been posted in gold........ITS NOT 56K FREINDLY

cLiCk HeRe

[Doodlebug]

Sounds awesome Mat. You must be very proud.

Is that a crack in the windscreen?

B)

[Monster-Mat]

yep......caused while trying to remove it...the IS200 screens are very light and thin.....and the reason why they crack easily.

id just like to point out that the road wasnt really icy...just a few puddles, most of the noise is the car bottoming out ...on the bumps

and i didnt go over 50kmh(honestly Herr Polizei Offizier)

Quality, sounds like you scared your passenger when you were tearing down that road - sounded pretty quick!

Now why did it remind me of Getaway in Stockholm when you're getting back to your garage

[Scorpion]

Great video Mat,would of been nice to see it up against the other Lex to see how much quicker it really is.

[Monster-Mat]

well when the roads are dryer we can try something along those lines for you pete........aslong as i can find a private road :winky:

[Scorpion]

An early morning spin on the auto-bahn :winky:

Quote Passenger " Dont go to faaaast" :o

Think i wud have been the same

Very impressive Matt

[Monster-Mat]

re-wired in the washer system, after accidently removing it from the loom, i have mounted the washer bottle in the boot using a smaller 1 litre bottle.

for the fusing of this i have taken the fuse box from a rover, and re-wired it, this now gives me a fuse box with 6 spare fuses, for any re-instating of electrical systems, also to be instated is the Horns, i have a relay which will be integrated within this new fusebox, the fuse box is mounted along with the other main fuse box, behind the passenger seat.

the plumbed in fire extinguisher system consists of the following route:

from bottle down the prop tunnel, travels up the right side of centre console, where it branches of to 2 nozzles for the driver's footwell, the main pipe then runs behind the centre console, under the dash to the passenger side, where there is one nozzle pointing into the passenger footwell, the pipe then goes through the bulkhead, a nozzle points at the fuel system and throttle body, the pipe then runs along the bulkhead and travels down the drivers side chassis/inner wing, a nozzle is directed at the rear of the engine/exhaust manifold.

the main pipe continues forward, and ends infront of the openeing of the old aircon fan, this nozzle is directed at the front of the engine, and into the opening of the exhaust manifold heat shield.

the button to now operate the washers is located on the centre console

will get pics soon

Amazing work you put in the IS200 race car Mat, cant wait to see it, will you be going to Gaydon in this?

[Monster-Mat]

not sure yet, there is an electrical problem with the electronic throttle i need to trace...... which is proving to be quite elusive at the moment

[Zee007]

Look forward to seeing it a couple of weeks mate.... :)

Nice work...

[Monster-Mat]
