    Hi folks. Im looking at replacing the exhaust system on my 1990 1.8 16v. Im thinking about the complete jetex system but i need advise on the downpipe. My original is just that original and is starting to blow. My main question is what downpipe can i fit that would go onto the jetex system . I would like to gain a few more bhp if possible. Im on a very tight budget so if anyone has or knows of any avialable get in touch,
    thanks guys

    Hi people. Having an issue with my valver. Has run perfect for the past two years. However the other day its started to judder and struggle to keep going and ended up kangerooing down the road. Once stopped the fuel pump became very noisey and almost cut out with the revs dropping. I have since changed the fuel pump and checked the lift pump in the tank. All the fuel lines have been cleanedto. The car started fine after repreplacement and ran perfect at idle. The original fault still exists. I have now replacd the ignition coil and fuel pump relay. The car ran very well for a mile or so then the same fault came back.severe juddering and kangerooing. I have checked the dissy cap and leeds and are all in good order.
    The problem i seem to have is loss of spark. If i earth the king lead to the engine it will spark once then die off.
    could this be the ignition amplifier or the dizzy packing up?.all earth wires and connections seem in good order.the car has been maintained regardless , timing is spot on and before this issue the car ran superbly. Is there a way i can check the dizzy and ignition amplifier?
     
    thanks guys
