I think people just use facebook more. But I find this better as at least I can find things later on and I like the respectful way that people engage with eachother on here.

 

I don’t post my car because its been through so many stages and it would take me so long to piece all the pics and info together.

Depending on what parts they are they can be vinyl painted if it helps.

 

Car looks great I like the subtle clean look. Its refreshing to not see another brock replica as well.

 

I think with the carpet people sometimes use spray glue on the corners

The fact that you can do all this at home is a credit to you.

Mine had an issue where it jammed full throttle, issue was trying to wrangle it back after you shut it down with no power steering. Id have a switch that enabled that to keep going some how if possible

Be cool to see it looking more original.  Funny how much people want for these things like radios that how many people binned in the day

Got any close up pics where you can see the intake better in the bonnet?

 

Any of the data shows you what intake temps are?

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 pipe. I have a pair here which if I can find them I would be happy to loan you (or anyone) as long as I got them back after.

 

They are interesting how much difference DB did they make in the end?

If you spend the money on decent mufflers you will get flow and keep it quiet. Id use muffler centre in nsw they did mine and a few mates give them dimensions and they will post. They hand make them really nice work https://mufflercentre.com.au/ .

 

I ran magnaflow, redback and defillipo they where are very noisy. When you look at the materials and how they are made it makes sense. I got these made from scratch and they are strait through offset and the difference is huge. I know people that have used these to get off defects.  They flow and will shut it up , do it once and forget about it
