Had a word with Will F, and it fitted his system/car fine. With an internal shifter.
So it must be down to my exhaust system not sitting right.
Going have to cut a slot in the collector 4-1 pipe, bend the pipe down, and then weld the slot back up, to try and make it point lower.
That should sort it imo.
Cba do it now tho lol
i know what you mean about the header pipes looking larger diameter on the standard system, but you've got to remember that the standard manifold is cast iron so the walls of the pipes will be much thicker on the standard manifold, so the actual bore of the pipes on the standard manifold may be smaller than your 4-1 jobbie? it will definately benefit from 4-1 though because of the effect of each cylinders pressure waves etc.

Aye mate.
The 4-1 is going on, just dont know when. Need to find time get the welder and grinder out, and crack on with it.
if only you was closer id of welded it for you bud..
anymore updates?
The welding aint the problem, the problem is ive never got time do it with having no garage etc work in.
No updates atm.
Will be picking up some cheap buckets/harnesses off Riggy this weekend tho, so they'll be going in, and the rear interior will be coming out :)
Halfway there, whens the xe goin in? lolQuote:

It already has an xe in :p lol
TBH, it will never be big block'd, unless something drastic happens to my baby engine(in which case id probably break the car)
Yeah, the inlets much better, well worth the cash.
Low down pull was never as good as my old 8v's, and that remains unchange even with the inlet box on. But about 3.5-4k rpm it picks up and pulls hard straight to the limiter.
Good news Ads, getting better!
Do it properly and strip it all out like me, Dash and 2 seats all the way! Althougth i'm getting CF door cards made up so it's easier to shut the doors........
Thats the plan.
Normal doorcards can stay for a while yet tho.
i guess the scooby idead is out the window now adam?
