I’m gonna just say it, I dont really know what I am looking at, or what needs to be trimmed!!

Tbh I cant remember, it’s in the build thread somewhere, by memory 3 or 4 dB.

Edit: wasn’t a bad guess, page 6 of my build thread, 3.5dB, which is not bad given what they are.

Yea that’s exactly what I was thinking.  I mean it was a pretty major rebuild and over such a long time.  I just wouldn’t want to have missed something dumb.

No probs, I bought mine through Summit.

I know right, I think a full jerry can in the boot will be a must.  Just toying up in my mind the benefit of giving it to my local mechanic who is a drag guy, literally a couple of hundred metres down from me and getting him to do a basic service and give it the once over.  That’s where the dyno is that we will use later.  Not sure if I am be…[Read more]

Yep, let’s not talk about that!!

Lol, keep them coming, its a fun thing each day

If you go down the restrictor plate path, I tried these Dynacones and they do work.  They just didn’t take enough out for me.  They sometimes use them is speedway etc when they have to race at a track tight on noise restrictions.  The ones I made are 3″ but they are available in a range of sizes, they just sandwich between the collector and pi…[Read more]

Just put restrictor plates on the flanges and build one good system. That’s what I’m doing

I had hand made Dfillipo mufflers and they were killer. Made it real quiet but kept that v8 sound.

Dale at castle hill would have to be up there in Australia’s top 5 tuners. You will be in good safe hands.

^they look nice.  My system is twin 3″ with di phillipo mufflers and nothing I could do would shut it up to get it through engineering (and I tried a lot of things).  In the end, I put a dumb ass single system on it to get it through.  I do 100% agree with the do it once thing.  I now have a $500 exhaust system that’s worth nothing, as it’s mad…[Read more]

Thanks mate, whereabouts are you.  I really want to come across to the east one day in it.  Its’s probably not the car to do a full interstate trip in, so will prob either fright or trailer it, then do some events and have some fun.  Might even do drag challenge one day, not sure.

I reckon we all have!!

Change of plans, so I have decided that a road trip is in order.  Frank is apparently not happy to put the beautiful bonnet in the back of a truck to bring down to me and trust me to ft and align it.  Anyone who knows Frank and his work, knows that once he paints your car, you don’t actually own it, he does, and you are j…[Read more]

It does. I’ll make sure everything is sealed up with polyurethane once I do it.

Mick’s. Loving the jokes….but maybe just make one post and keep adding to the post every time you suss a new one.

Dont know if I missed it but did you have a build thread/greeting post or anything?

Haha my bays empty. I mocked everything up and measured everything.  So I had a clear run at it all.
