Grill under rear bumper removal

Anybody removed that little grill under the rear bumper so that you can see the exhaust. I have Mongoose with twin back boxes and was going to shine them but can't see them with grill there.

Re: Do I need new brake disc/pads? HELP

In my limited experience the tubby goes through pads fairly quickly, mine don't squeal or anything but i'm changing them next week due to vibrations when breaking from high speed. This this may also be due to the discs. If you run you fingers from centre outwards they have a bump in the centre, time...

Re: help on fitting bailey dump valve

This might sound daft, but how can you tell for sure its leaking boost? Or is that annoying pssssssst sound when feathering the throttle at high speed the boost escaping?

Re: My boost has gone!

But the cut is coming in just as the boost starts so around 2psi, or is it cause i've hit it once and after that it just keeps cutting out as the boost comes on?

Plus how so you check the ecu for error codes?

Yesterday i got the yellow ignition light coming on whenever i put my foot down even gently and the car feels like its hitting the rev limiter. Is this fuel cut? If so then i have an FCD i can fit, if not,...

Re: MBC fitting

Got the MBC on and its running 14psi in 3rd, 4th and 5th but with restricted boost in first and second, i think this will happen until i take out tvsv, is that right? Also, i don't appear to have any fuel cut at all despite it occasionally spiking to 15psi?!
