OG’s get it, others don’t .
wheel choice can make or break any car. But easily changed

Back in the day there was an old gulls in Whangarei that made his own mufflers.
he did the exhaust on my fxgt one night, started at 5.. the deal was that I bought him dinner and $250 cash.
it sounded amazing when I drove away.
basically a folded up box, 2” in, 2-1/4” out, the was a 90 angle on its end on both ends to direct flow left and right, and a 50x50 box in the middle, he called them “race box mufflers “. He did 2.5” from the floor pan to the rear muffler which was glass packed.
it blew the glass out after a year or so of 7200rpm abuse.
my mate had the same set up on his mk5 cortina, shit that thing was quick with that exhaust and twin throat.
the shop is no longer there, was opposite where pak n save is in town.
id like a better muffler on the hunter, those stainless dummy’s don’t do squat

Better off filling those ports and going PP

Could be caused by a number of possibilities really, cracked housing, blown water seals, cracked plates.

So the above teaser was me dropping the ute off to a panelbeater near palmy.
this is his update pics.
i just didn’t have the time or mental energy to grind my way through the stitching phase, or attacking the mint bonnet with a grinder.
he has made up new flanges for the front of the guards , he won’t use the rx3 guards on this set up, all new steel.
have also tasked him to fill over the fuel filler hole as I can’t utilise that once I drop tank it out the back anyway. So now I’m forced to drop tank it now instead of when I bag it.
it means that I can carry on with the tubs when it’s back.
I will end up using push button bonnet pins, hopefully they’re ok as a bonnet pin for road use. I’ll also fit a check strap as a secondary safety measurehappy days

How old are they? Could you bring them?
Fuck that off with a sharp stick. I would never inflict that kind of pain on any individual looking to aggressively sharn and relax, I make dumb decisions, but I’m not a cunt

I’ve had vitour formula tyres on the Hunter for 6 years, grip better than others I’ve used. Run a 195/50
STA parts stock them.
I have a set of 215/50s on the hotwires that don’t fit the Hunter unfortunately, need 205s or more 195s- 2

Yeah I chatted to the dude, he didn’t really say much about it, it’s a shame the wheel looks average as

The upper arms on this can have the camber adjusted by packers between the arm bush bar mount thing and the chassis. Most have a couple of packers in from factory to correct the camber/castor.

Do I recall something about proximity of things like fuel line, battery cable and brake line to the propshaft when routing under the car?
Or does it not matter where I run them as long as it's secure, not going to hit the ground and can't touch things that move or spin?I had to fit a driveshaft hoop to the diff end on mine as the fuel line could’ve been taken out by a damaged driveshaft if the rear uj let go.
my fuel line had to run along the side of the tunnel

Nah it hasn’t gone to Smugz unfortunately.

And just like that she’s gone…..
dropped off to fielding
what a Kent of a drive. Started with a flat tyre on the van, so had to swap all 4 wheels over from the other ute, that was a mission in itself.
then drove all the way to fielding, dropped it off and refueled. As soon as I hit the main road from palmy to Sanson the ECL and DPF lights came on.
limp mode engaged, no boost.
FUGH!!! decided to send it. Hills were fun.
crawled into the drive at 2am the next day after starting at 10am.van is booked in for a service and dpf delete next week
