Jayrome has my respect, i will never do an exhaust off my back again, FMD, pain in the arse, and my back

The rear section was a challenge, and put up a decent fight, having to avoid suspension and the fuel tank with minimal clearance was challenging to say the least.



As you can see, minimal clearance on the fuel tank, will add a heat sheild just for piece of mind.



Now to add another hanger point, remove it and weld it all up in the comfort of my welding chair Sorry for shitty pics.

loving the progress Marc

I had same issue with my ute and fixed it with a m21 dash. Find a wasted spark car and graft the tacho into the dash. Up to 99 sonata, those early lantra with the 1.6 twin cam?
Must be heaps of choices.
Nice work with the magnets, I will have to remember that trick

Wow, its been a while... good to see the project's coming along now

[JayRome]

you are finally finishing it! looks good! i dont think anyone will ever know....

as much as i would love a hoist, i stay fit with a race jack and stands

also noticed the back suspension of your car is almost identical to the old Cordia's...

Ahh cordia, can't say i've been near them but would be interesting to see how close they are, might look into what the cordia guys do for a rear disc conversion.... roger??

Need to get this welded up quick now, keen to hear how much difference it will make with the varex closed up.

[111GSR]

Varex closed up is like an almost stock sound lol. I'd recommend changing the tip on the muffler so it doesn't say varex. Pure stealth

[EVL20T]

If u seen the var ex on his car u wouldn't even think its 1. It looks oem

[Marc]

Yeah Mikey is Right Vadim, PLUS, there is no varex on the tip, just on the actual muffler itself.

Not the best pic but it will do, just looks like a normal exhaust i guess



No real updates as yet, waiting to get some cash together to pay for the driveshafts to get made, looking at $700 for the pair once they are done and installed, just a matter of get rego, then commence skids.

[Marc]

Driveshafts should be here hopefully by late next week, and i got bored tonight...

[JayRome]

So, it would appear we have a 50% strike rate today, one fits, one don't, aww well, driveshaft mob are very helpful and will get it sorted in a timely manner

If anyone needs stuff done, Turner Driveshafts @ Brookvale, old mate Joe is a champ, not only that he has a 24Hr turn around on custom stuff, paid Tue arvo, on a courier to me by Wed arvo. Contrary to todays unsuccessful shaft i think i might know what the issue is and is no fault of the blokes who made them, a quick call to them and Joe is onto it will be in touch tomorrow and will have a solution for me.

Thats awesome man!! glad to hear you've found someone who takes pride in there work!!

[Marc]

Well i ended up towing the car to turners at Brookvale with the request, "Don't call me till it's done" So it should be on the black stuff before christmas... which would be nice.

Got all the stockies and hubcaps back on, pushed it out the front for the tow truck, even had time to give it a tub inside and out, pretty happy with it, even with the minor bumper damage and where the dog was chewing on the front bumper



Getting closer now

Ultimate sleeper man!! love it!!
