I just had a look, they did mension it, however i think they spelt Don's last name incorrectly. They did get a fair few of the specs totally wrong too.

Good stuff mate - get onto Kim 'Panther' and do yourself a HUGE favor by getting yourself some ADAMS products and keep it that way (or even improve upon what you've so far done!).

I'm glad you're enjoying the new toy! thumbs :-D cheers

Are the adams products really that good!
The the that had mine washed it with sandpaper I think, but Ive buffed and buffed. can you really get rid of swirl?
Also the dash and console are have like an aluminium sort of look, but it has like a white spotty tarnished sort of look, like it has a clear coat that is damaged,....I dont know, I hope you know what Im talking about. Can I bring it back to good?

Troppo, mate i dont know your name im sorry. Its pretty easy to get rid of swirls, get a clay bar, that should do it. Brasso will get rid of deeper swirls, but id be cautious on that, ive used it on the 94 in the past, but you need to be sure you want to get that physical with it, cause once youre done, youll need to do a finer cut to remove the finer swirls youll put in as you remove the deeper ones.

As far as ordinary C4s at shows, mate ive seen some downright sh*theaps, and ive seen some that hardly run worth a damn when they turn up, and seen a combination of both.

Ive also seen alot of really top notch C4s that were let down by the lazy owner not putting in a full effort on the polishing, vacuuming, and general cleaning.

Being what i was to C4s, i notice almost everything at a quick glance. Some people call it picky, some call it arrogant, some can call it what they like, but C4s are like any other GM car, and they go downhill fast when neglected.

Jesus my neighbours up stairs are noisy barstards....

Adams products are exceptional, i use and prefer Bowden's Own myself, however i know Panther Kim well enough to know he wont put his name to rubish, and his word is good enough for me. When someone's word is good enough for me, it could almost be considered good enough for anyone else too.

Keep the rubber side down mate thumbs

Upload them to photobucket, you can create a free account, www.photobucket.com then you need to copy the line under the photo you wish to post, it will be the 1 line of the 3 lines that starts and ends with [img][/img]

The other 2 lines underneath the picture will be for a link to the picture so it wont auto load, and the other i dont remember what it is for without looking at it, but you only need to concern yourself with the link saying "[img][/img]"

Trev, if i could offer you some advice on that exhaust, from a bloke that single handedly made 2 C4s sound rather bloody good, what you need to look for first is
see if the front Y pipe has cats in it, if it does ( if it doesnt, you will have to add them in, one on each side ), then cut it off straight after them, then go 2.5 inch twin
all the way back, with an X pipe just after the transmission, then go with Genie 2.5 inch straight through muffers.

If all goes well, it will sound about like this: ( i had Walker DyonMAX mufflers on there at the time, but the Genies are the same design, just better quality )

Sound quality is not the best in that video, i did that many years ago with a digital still cam, but you get the idea thumbs

No worries mate, the whole lot should come in well under $1,000 if youve allready got the twin pre cats, i dont remember without looking at my info if it was 86 or 87 that had those first.
