NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

To add to that this is a sad news for Military Aviation... Sure the FA18 is a great aircraft but will nothing will ever come close to the abilities of the F14-A Tomcat...

I stand at attention and solute with a Moment of Silence in Memory of the Tomcat!!!

:sad:

Yes - I read this last week and felt a well of emotion similar to when you hear the 'Goose is dead' music ;)

But - considering the F14A was deisgned in the late '60s, it's probably time the old girl retired - much like Viper. And screw FA18s - I think they should just get a fleet of Mig-28s - afterall, they can do a 4G negative pushover despite having inverted flight tanks.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

From prep to year 10 I wanted to be a fighter pilot becuse of two things:

1.) Robotech their cartoon's in the form of planes were a derivitive of tomcats...

2.) Topgun/tomcats...

tomcats were/are my all time favourite plane... back in the day I actually wanted to migrate to the US just so I could have a chance of flying one... quite stupid really.. but sad none the less... ;):(:(

    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
