i had a g180 in my wagon originally. i put extractors and an exhaust on that. it blew up so i took it out replacin it with a G160 while i rebuilt the g180. there were no problems with the exhaust on the 1.6. however, yesterday i just put the 1.8 back in which has been fully rebuilt and bored to a 2L with forged pistons and all the shit. now when the exhaust is fitted back up to the original motor it was put on (1. Cool

, the exhaust hits on the bottom of the car like a bitch.
Whats the difference? how come it fit before but not now? its not just hittin in one spot its all over the bloody thing.

its bolted on exactly the same as before. its almost as if the engine is sitting higher cause the exhaust is sitting against the floor.

it was put in yesterday. the only place its been is up the driveway. u honestly think if i'd bottomed out on a speed hump that i'd be askin what the go is. you may think yourself as smart gene but it dont mean the rest of us arent
