Just realised, we really will have to take it extra easy if Dan is following us down. (Comparing to a few moments of last time)

will the 2L be able to turn the rollers?????? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yer no 160 odd up the passing lanes !! mite have to stick to 90 to 100. Aaron since your bt1 is off the road , why dont you bring the austin princess along??? yer would be good to see if Jason could bring his vl along see what those v8s can do .. you should put in for that day off work

you leave my Austin Princess alone!!!!! you do realise they had 4 pot brakes factory LOL!!!!!!!! LOOK AT IT HAHAHAH Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Pots and pans I'd bet, doesn't look like something I'd want to be seen in!

Haha... I will have to see how things pan out - thankfully, it's starting to slow up after the whole Holiday season. I just picked up a 2nd hand exhaust system tonight - featuring a Flowmaster muffler. It's flanged at the diff and came with another muffler to put on to quieten her up for wofs and stuff. I will have to get it fitted up and perhaps make up another rear section with just a 3" pipe and no muffler I am quite keen to see just what the old girl is capable of. Hopefully i can get this new exhaust sorted on the cheap and then we shall see how work goes... I'm quite keen though I will hopefully have a fresh new LSD by then also!

Lol how do we sound like old ladies. My exhaust has a flange at the bottom of the extractors and just behind the diff too, but all I have to put on the back is a straight through piece of pipe What type of muffler is on that back piece? I take it that your current exhaust doesn't have flanges on it, that'd make it nice and easy to play with eh! And Dan, we know they can get up to that speed, but it does take longer (I remember trying to pass in my 2L). Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I take it that your current exhaust doesn't have flanges on it, that'd make it nice and easy to play with eh! I'm not sure what brand the rear muffler is. The whole rear section is quite new and hasn't been used that much. It is just a straight flow muffler used to reduce noise. And yeah... my current exhaust is only flanged at the extractors, a pain in the ass as i will have to cut the current exhaust off so if the new one doens't work out well i won't have an exhaust! I'm probably going to chop the new exhaust back to just before the muffler and get some new pipes made up to join it to the existing extractors. Below is a photo of the car that the exhaust i purchased came off - this pic is a few years old - it's from the Kumeu Classic Car and Hotrod show 2005! He is currently building up a new motor and detailing the bay. He has also mini tubbed the rear and is running Simmons FR19s with a 4 & 1/4" dish on the rear - it looks sexy as!

He had those wheels custom made and dealt a lot with Simmons. No wonder they want to use his car for some promotional work! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
