Lastnight I had a vr4 car wash meet with a few vr4, galant/legnum. Anyway I was bout to head home. Started the car drove off to driveway fine. Once i got on the service road where it merges with the main lanes I floored it 1st to 2nd.

then it just sputters and hesitates majorly! I pulled over thinking maybe leads since I got new ones that day and got disconnect seems all ok. The car drove fine to the meet. luckily my house wasnt too far away so I steadily drive at 40k to my house :roll: i couldnt go any faster or it'll backfire 10.30pm on a weeknight :p

that night i tried to get to the bottom of it thought it was a exhaust leak since I've been having issues with it since I got the new system on.

- The nuts at the dumpipe keep getting loose so they swapped a brass nut to steel and tac it. few weeks later didn't work so they added a flexpipe, seems to do the job.

Im pretty sure I have a leak somewhere that area cause I can smell it either crack manifold or same problem. I tighten the nuts but nothing.

Today I was gonna drive it to the shop but driving so slow for 12km, I'll pass. This morning I tried fixing it, feeling for leak while its cold but couldn't really feel any air. Turn it on again and fine. It always started fine just ran ****. I took it for a spin, boost as it does.. wheels spinning.. same torque.. power..

Now it has really got me thinking what it is. :confused:

since it's working I'm dropping it off at exhaust shop to have a look at it. ASAP! I don't wanna be missing the cruise of the year! :mad::(
