What is next for my ride...

R1200.

He said the only way of getting no restrictions is madrel bends! Any other bend reduces the diameter of the pipe.

vveecee13 Apr 2008, 19:29

thats a decent price.

what sokar is talking about is taking two 76mm normally bent pieces, cutting them up, and using the pieces that still have an internal diameter of 76mm at least.

its not as pretty as mandrel bent pipes - but its effective!

Oh ja that..It looks a bit crappy but the end product works the same as the mandrel!

Nice backbox, I want one!

HHancoB14 Apr 2008, 17:39

Ok, you pay R550 in my account and I'll buy you one. Then you should just pay the shipping!

vveecee14 Apr 2008, 20:37

or you could go to F1X exhausts in edenvale.

last time i was there it was roughly the same price for a similar box.

then you wouldnt have pay for shipping or hassle hanco!

Got my car back today and clutch feels ok!

Still running the clutch in so no hard driving for 500km

It feels so good to have my baby back, and to hear that awesome sound, that burble when jou take your foot off the throttle, that backfire when you change and the ou tannie in her getz pisses her pants next to you, that feeling of power going through your body when the revs pick up and pushes you into your seat!

I want to marry my car!!!!

Nice now since I did my exhaust there is smoke coming out at the back...

When I drive it hard and then stop en let it idle she smokes white! Now the guys at the exhaust shop said thats just the new pipe and backbox burning in...but after a hundred or so KM it should stop!

There is a little leak on my headgasket and the oil is dripping on my turbo downpipe...so it might be oil running down the flex and getting burnt in the hot pipe!

I sure as hell dont want it to be my turbo!

It happens to 90% of the SX's when you upgrade the exhaust... some say its the lack of positive pressure to the turbo that is causing it, others say it's positive crank case pressure...

Try this... take your breather pipes off and go for a drive, if the smoking stops, your PVC valve is blocked, its the metal thingy on your plunem where your breather pipes are connected... remove it and clean it...

Just remove it and clean it anyway... 😉

Cool stuff Vlade,

Thanks for the info!!!

I'll do that and tell you if it works!

HHancoB21 Apr 2008, 08:48

Nope its still smoking!

Took the PVC valve off and cleaned it. You can blow through the one side but not the other so its seems to be working fine!

What is it about that copper thingie that the guys are removing?? Its in the breather pipe that goes to the air intake of the turbo? Just after the AFM!

Ok since my last post here I did a lot of things like fitting a new head gasket and a GT28RS turbo, upped the kw to a moderate 165kW(stock cooler and .6 bar)

Tomorrow I am getting my 3 piece strut braces. Front upper, rear upper and a rear lower. I can't wait to fit them.

Got them for really cheap R800 including shipping.

I will post pics tomorrow before and after fitting them.
