so who is bringing what? tools, jacks, spares etc?



I'm struggling to get a fcuking car to bring! :(

First the clutch went so new uprated clutch, light billet flywheel, close ratio gearbox and double short shift went in.

Now the bloody exhaust has fallen off! :( a weld has snapped which holds the bracket to the exhaust pipe. It's taken a big chunk of exhaust with it so have a nice big hole now! :( and to add insult to injury it's burned a hole in my paint when it's fallen off! Larini offer a lifetime warranty but I know it's going to be a MAJOR inconvenience whether they want to have the exhaust to repair or want me to wait the usual 6 weeks whilst they get me a new one. (what's the usual situation with this kind of stuff?) And are larini liable for the damage to my rear clam paint? The paint wouldn't have burned away if the exhast hadn't failed.

Already got a pax seat sorted thank you if I cannot sort/bodge the exhaust tomorrow. I just want to get it fixed asap. Reading the larini lifetime warranty stuff it looks like they're going to make it very difficult for me to get them to sort it out for me :( will give them a call tomorrow :rolleyes:

Have done a post on it in VX220 Discussion

Larini will hopefully have a replacement piece of pipe with me tomorrow and I will be all good for the trip! :) fingers crossed now folks!

Managed to remove my rear clam on my own in under an hour which I was well chuffed with! :)
