Header is a home build, 2.25 OD Mandrel bends all 14 Gauge tubing feeding into a flowmaster thick walled Muffler. Out to a dump pipe that can be capped off. Then its over the Diff into a Racing Beat Muffler... BTW today I finished the complete exhaust system, Engine Back!

Found out my slave cilinder is just broken, I tryed 2 other bleed screws and both leaked, I ordered one from rock auto. got my hesitation problem fixed (I think) my solid engine mounts vibrated the leading coil loose. it wasn't too loose but enough to cause a problem. seems to be better now. I also replaced the DP gasket. cleaned up the driveway from my massive oil leak a month or so back, I've just been too lazy to move the car and do it. anyway cars tons quiter and oils cleaned up neighbors should be happy.

Back to Duals

Got the RB Rev.II exhaust all put on. It's way quiet. Sounds nice though. I need to have an O2 Sensor bung welded into it though (any suggestions or recommendations?).
I did manage to pull something in my back wrestling with the rubber donut exhaust hangers...

Well Noxi and I managed to complete the GSL-SE brake install. Yes this includes bleeding, grinding to fit, e-brake cables and proper brackets for the Ford 8.8 diff. We also welded up the modified watts link to center the monstrosity. I think we will fire it up on Friday...yup sounds good. Of course we will also have the BBQ going to celebrate.

Cant buy replacement cables. They want you to pay through to nose, ears, mouth and other points south.

I picked one up, and continued fixing the damn thing. The "unbroken" cable has spots striped so I'm just going to clean that up too.

waiting patiently for my slave cylinder. I'm tired of looking like a fool grinding gears when my clutch doesn't disengage. need to get a new belt and a duel alt pulley then 2 more new belts. running on just one won't work for the summer. I'm thinking its due to the fan.

Polished the exhaust tip, cleaned the windows, started the car and ran it until the neighbors were completely annoyed then called it a day.

today I change the clutch fluid and took the car out for a test drive and come next thing you know the car cuts off. Had to push the car back 5 blocks =(. And now the battery turns the engine over really slowly.
