Im going to take it off the road for a few weeks now, i figure as the prop and exhaust is coming off i may aswell give it a good tidy up under the car, im going to get it up as high as i can tomorrow and pull it to bits, powdercoat the fuel tank cover and underseal the car again, going to also take all the IC pipes off and make up some support bars so they cant blow off anymore, needs to be back on the road for the LMM meet 22nd jan.

Just fitting it yourself bud?

 

Yeah its easy enough, got a few jobs to do first though, Im gonna have the billet donuts modded a little before i fit it so the rear one locates on the diff flange like the stock one does, should take some stress off the bolts.

What's different about this new one to the older uprated unit? I would have thought they'd use bigger U/J's and bigger tube OD for the hollow part of the shaft. It'd scare the heck out of me, having seen what a flailing prop can do if it decides to lathe through the floorpan, or dig into the road surface.
