I need pictures brother.

Where the manifold joins the cat/decat?

Seems like a good idea.

Other than the eye watering cost, I'd need to chop one end to make a vband. 😢

Gathering some parts to get the most out of the RS2 inlet. First part, a 182 exhaust manifold which I've bought from @Louis it has a V band flange welded on the end, which I think will make it easier. My question is "how do I get this to connect up to a 172 exhaust?" My current exhaust is a...

Bit of an update. Pre vapour blasting. And done... Then I spent a few hours yesterday plumbing it all in. There are no fitting guides out there, that I could find anyway, and although pretty straight forward the vac line to brake booster had me stumped for a little bit. Also, the...

Thank you mate. It's so hard to explain the awe of the place, pictures don't do it justice and nor do my words. Planning for next year already.

Put in some time this weekend on the JMS Inlet. The manifold looked like it was painted with a brush, so I started to strip it. Under the thick black was thick red. FML. It beat me and I've dropped it for vapor blasting. The aluminium which was anodised blue, which isn't the worst colour...

Great question. Open to opinion and thoughts here tbh? 182 Manifold? I'm not keen on opening the engine up to fit cams unless I need to.

Slight change of plans.

Day 5. The long road home. Driving through some really old French villages that reminded me of Band of Brothers headed toward LeShuttle. We stopped off at Reims for photos and lunch. Back at LeShuttle we managed to get an earlier return journey which I was thankful for as I still had a...

You had the mintex on the front, is that correct?

Day 4 - We fueled up headed out of Sedrun for the last time, through Andermatt and south towards the San Gotthard Pass. We stopped for breakfast and coffee surrounded by incredible views. Next was west through the Nufenen Pass which was my favourite. Pictures completed at the top, then...
