nooooooooo, you cut a nice ally bonnet :-( gutted.

did you leave clearance for the engine pitching under accel and decel?

 

Nice work

 

not a whole lot. If it becomes a problem, I'll need to throw in a flex-connector. Speaking of flexing I'm sure I could use some new motor mounts too.

 

once they start flexing they are on borrowed time. you can hold of the start of flexing with new mounts by filling them with stiff rubber from a tube. i have used windscreen urethane from a calking gun for that on the ute. i did the trans mount too, it made a decent difference. i used to break stockers with the 79hp stock engine though, so i braced the engine up high too. now it just twists which only causes compression of the rubber in the main mounts. in the normal mode, it tries to twist and presses down on one side and lifts the other up in the air. its the lifter that breaks. lhs one that tends to break from accel.

 

I've made motor mounts out of that too. My EF wagon is rocking Window Weld mounts and has been for years. Good stuff but a bitch to clean off your hands.

 

pb blaster or wd 40 takes that ---- right off

 

uggh smoke herb and rock a turban !!

 

Finished my exhaust up last night in 3hrs, re-used stock hangers - very HMT if I do say so myself

Quiet as hell, just a tad louder than stock and most of that is due to some leaks I gotta weld. Just the way I likes it.

 

Smooth.....get a slightly larger SS piece of pipe then slide over the exhaust tip and tack on. Keep from rusting, stay shiny, look money.
