New 2" exhaust with Hiflow muff, resonator and dumpy tip (no room for the muffler behind the rear axles so had to go in front).

Also new momo with Rx7 bosskit.

Finally got around to getting my mags polished and the Yoko's on, looks ok but needs lowering.

Also discovered the joys of Autosol, great on alloy and stainless steal, but not so good on chrome as its a cutting paste as well as a polish, and will wear thru thin chrome.

With the Celica I almost swapped the colt for, was a GT and had a few wee toys on it.

Couple more pics, This is the final ride height I decided on, as the G/box cross member is about three inches lower than the sills!! so cant go too low.

Has a KM119 five speed now (4spd was no good for hiway use) was a straight swap.
