The part holding the job up was the exhaust. I initially had a Janspeed manifold and system on the car, so since I have gone to standard manifold and downpipe I was hunting around for a standard system to prevent butchering the Janspeed system up

Change of plan .....Dale got his angle grinder and welder out today and did a great job. He welded the Janspeed system to the downpipe and cut out the middle box and welded in a straight pipe.








Also done this afternoon was fit the cables to the pedal box, fill up with water, and put brake fluid in. I was a bit aprehensive about this with visions of brake fluid squirting all over the new paint. Alas, all went well

The start-up will be tomorrow, so watch this space Dale is confident, but I am not

the janspeed joins upto a std manifold anyway aled ???

[grum]

home made exhaust systems are the best anyway

It's the flange that was the problem and as the last 1/4 inch of the downpipe was see-through , it was cut off and the Janspeed was connected via with a bracket. It was the other end which was welded to eliminate the middle box.

Should sound good!

Should sound good!

That's the plan Tim Taffr had the same some time back and sounded the bizz.
