Don't go with 2.5".... actually I don't recommend increasing the exhaust diameter at all if everything else is stock. You need some kind of backpressure for the exhaust to flow smoothly.... it's fluid dynamics! If you must increase the diameter, 2.25" max.

Lol, I've been a tad bit afk-ish.... but... here it comes!

Indeed Chris I went for 2,25 inch, almost ready for the new engine... It WILL come Wink

The new one Smile

Subject: Re: Rachids XLi to GLTSJDMi+ project Sun Nov 25, 2012 11:51 am

Was it a hit and run? And thankfully you didn't have your good head lights on!

Subject: Re: Rachids XLi to GLTSJDMi+ project Sun Nov 25, 2012 6:03 pm

Oww, even though I've seen a lot worse, it hurts to see. Hopefully you get it fixed soon!

Subject: Re: Rachids XLi to GLTSJDMi+ project Sun Nov 25, 2012 7:59 pm

Dang bro. Least you didn't park the other way around cause it could've been the rear quarter panel. Front end is not too bad to repair.

Subject: Re: Rachids XLi to GLTSJDMi+ project Sun Nov 25, 2012 11:49 pm

sorry to hear about the damage man! These things happen tho at least it didnt get your gtsi lip...loving the look of the car now Smile

Subject: Re: Rachids XLi to GLTSJDMi+ project Mon Nov 26, 2012 8:40 pm

Thanks guys and it's most definately repairable... however it's gonna cost me a bit I guess. Insurance will cover some of the costs, but while at it I might just throw in some other work to be done. Wink

Subject: Re: Rachids XLi to GLTSJDMi+ project Thu Dec 13, 2012 6:41 am

Ok, so there were some problems with the insurance company, my claim had not been delivered two weeks after I sent it... Called today and the paperwork is in! Smile

Also someone took a look at the damage and I will be receiving the outcome of that asap!

*hope for the best*

Subject: Re: Rachids XLi to GLTSJDMi+ project Thu Dec 13, 2012 6:42 am

thats good bro..

Subject: Re: Rachids XLi to GLTSJDMi+ project Fri Dec 14, 2012 1:47 am

Still no news Sad

Subject: Re: Rachids XLi to GLTSJDMi+ project Fri Dec 14, 2012 7:02 am

Hopefully you hear soon :/

Subject: Re: Rachids XLi to GLTSJDMi+ project Fri Dec 14, 2012 9:24 am

Sorry to hear about the damage to your car hope you get it sorted. Any chance you have a link for the bumper clear lenses please. Thanks.

Subject: Re: Rachids XLi to GLTSJDMi+ project Sun Dec 16, 2012 6:47 am

any luck bro.....really feeling sorry

i hope it would be a cheap fix

Subject: Re: Rachids XLi to GLTSJDMi+ project Mon Dec 17, 2012 9:46 pm

No news yet mates Sad

It's gonna cost me I think... ah well... I'm getting a bonus, so that's covered I guess.

As for the clear lenses, I have no link, sorry mate, found them in the club in NL Smile

Subject: Re: Rachids XLi to GLTSJDMi+ project Thu Dec 20, 2012 2:38 am

Damn, only a few hundred euro's for the damages... hmmmm.... need to look for some nice discounts 'cause I don't think ordering the parts at the dealer will be covered by this amount.

Subject: Re: Rachids XLi to GLTSJDMi+ project Thu Dec 20, 2012 3:43 am

That sucks. What all do you need to replace again?

Maybe your best option would be to just save up a bit extra and order some really nice/rare parts?

EDIT: Oh I remember (just went back through thread (such a sad pic)). Are you trying to replace the lights with the same ones? Or order a whole new set?

Subject: Re: Rachids XLi to GLTSJDMi+ project Thu Dec 20, 2012 8:57 am

In the meantime I've been sourcing parts a bit. Might have found a replacement for the corner... Smile

Oh and will be replacing the parts with the same ones. I still want the power adjustable headlights Wink

And... A surprise, but not before all is set! First off I will prolly go back to the clear black ones, since they're plug and play for now. And sometime soon, someone will have to take a look at the fender and bend it back in place.

I'm hoping to get some done before the next meet, but it's gonna be pretty tight...
