Last weekemd I got a phone call from WRC63 who said "Do you remember what we talked about on Thursday ?"
"No" I replyed.
So apparentaly we said we would cut it down.

So saturday morn Dan (aka WRC63) came round to do some cutting.

Looks a bit too Long IMHO

can you spot the dent?

No going back now

Drilling for the new pop rivits.

Thirsty work this... we chopped off 18.3 cm.

Finished result... very aesthetically pleasing to the eye...

Sounds sweet too....video...

Nice work! Sounds like it'll give Pete'n'Lissa's a run for it's money!

Looks so much better than that Longy.

Does it sound much louder?

Damnit!

Just as well it's fitted to pointy otherwise it might well win on looks!

I was just about to create a post asking how to do this. Is it just a case of cutting through the whole lot or should you take the end plate off then cut through each bit separately? Did you buy a new 'band' to rivet the end back on or make use of the old one?

NO

Cheers Richie. Looks like I have a project for next weekend!

Do you happen to know whether it will make it an MOT fail just by making it stubby?

Lissa · 20-01-08, 04:09 PM

Very sexy, Richie!

And the stubby isn't bad either!
