What to do???
Well as you may already know i bought an 79 Sa recently and the heatexchanger is screwed majorly....
I just had another look and in seems like the outletcomponents on the heatexchanger are also missing.....so that means itl be useless...
Now i was planning on going for a header with a presilencer to get rid of the heatexchanger....BUT seeying as my exhaust system is full of holes i might aswell go ahead and order a complete exhaust system (its only 200$ extra so).......
Now since the airpump will be useless after i put a header on it i thought id get rid of that aswell, since all it would do is slow me down and make more noise....
Now i could just take it off get a bunch of housenipples and cut some plates to cover up all the holes where the hoses used to be on the intake BUT i could also go for a new intake wich will look less mr. fixit and give me more hp....only problem is...my carb is fine...my air filter is also fine....i dont wanna spend 800$ for something i dont need...
Basically i just need a new exhaust system and a manifold that gets rid of the acv....but i cant find a manifold for a stock carb anywhere...
If i get a new intakekit AND a new exhaust kit that would make me alot poorer...
I see 770$ for an intake kit
I see 527$ for an exhaust system..
Then il still need a better fuilpump and a two sheeve alternator pully with is about 45$....
Thats alot of cash for stuff i dont really need...
So what should i do? Just spend 220$ on a header and try to fix whatever else is left of the exhaust and then cut some plates and cover up whatever holes the removal of the airpump causes??
It would be alot cheaper but also alot crapyer....
Basically i could vover up holes and put in a new exhaust system for the time being....this would make the car run and keep my options open....but then there is another problem :s...
I went over to racing beat to check out my options...but i see they are a calibased company....seeying as im over here in europe (belgium)....where do i go to get this stuff without getting screwed over to much on the price?? European dealers tend to charge just about double of what they bought it at!
So if anyone knows a good dealer around my parts please let me know!
