Hi Charl, lucky you only have one more thing to do.
Are you running the 2 piece prop shaft or have you gone 1 piece?

Hey Tony, there's already a new list in the making.
Still got the two piece prop, had it balanced the other day, what a difference.

Hi Charl, thats great, I am contemplating a one piece however when I went from auto to manual I had to shorten my 2 piece shaft and it was balanced at the same time. Not too happy about the centre bearing on it as it was replaced by the previous owner but not OEM. Its also a pain to remove the shaft as it means taking off the exhaust and my exhaust is 1 piece from back to down pipe.
Are you going to the car wash get together at "pit stop" end of Jan?

I wil probably not be going as I started on a 3" zorst or so the plan is, and I'm sure it won't be done.

Some pipes.

shiny

Cute

Thanx. Now I just need to build the rest.

Hmmmm, those are nice. Is it a full system to the back?

Nope , that's it, the rest I need to build.

OK thats going to be fun, its always exciting to fit new exhaust systems.

I wouldn't want it any other way. 😉

Let the games begin

All tagged , just waiting on my v-bands then i can weld everything.

That looks very nice, I wish I had the mig welder etc at home and I would have done mine myself. What rear boxes are you fitting Charl? I have the same/similar centre boxes as you have with no balance pipe and jap style rears and its sounds a bit raw boy racer style. The centre box I wanted did not fit in the tunnel area as it was too wide.
I also see you are quite ingenious with steel construction as I observe you have your car up quit high, show a pic of that please.

Where did you get exhaust from?

@ Tony: I'm want to go jap style at the back but the guys at cowley is getting me some oval, I'll use either them or just big diameter rounds. Don't give a shit about the noise outside, as long as I can hear myself think in the car.
The ramp I actualy build for my sx back in the day, it would tilt over when the car is far enough onto it but that doesn't work with the zx's heavy arse. I'll post a pic sometime.
@Gary: downpipes and test pipe are from DNA Motorsport , modified them a bit to work for me.
The boxes are from cowley and the pipes are from the local dairy. 😉

Heavy Cute 😀

Heavy thanx.
