Have you tested the noise with that exhaust yet? It looks like it is gonna be pretty loud to me!

[dean_chad]

Alright Buddy. Not a test as such but i had it running before and after it was shortend and to be honest it really didnt sound too much different, will test the sould properly when its running correctly!

I'm pretty bummed too about all my missing pictures, and everyone else's - a huge lost in archival knowledge if you ask me. I've hounded the admins about it and it seems the pictures were lost in a server upgrade or somesuch....you'd have thought they would have made a back-up.

I put my build up here vs on it's own site as I thought everything woudl be safe

Just had a look back throught the build diary... bit gutted to see half the pictures missing to be fair, seems a waste in even puttin all this on here!

[dean_chad]

Dale, can you remember what the decebel leval was for the standard size zaust? I know it differs from different year of engines but did you get a reading?

Monte i think ive kept most of the pictures but its finding them thats the problem!

[Monte Busa]

Same with my build...just hadn't had a chance to go back through and reload them.

Really want it done before christmas. Not really sure why, Just seems like a good date to set!

Ive got to turn down the wheel nuts and finish the clutch bar and then i can give it a cheeky little run down the road! Oh yeah need to fit the front stoppers!

Have you got any pictures of your beastie hilty?

I've got loads of pics, but they were taken by miniworld for the cover shoot thing and there all to large to upload, does any one know how to make the Mega Byte thingy smaller? I hate computers !!

Ive got a couple of when it was being built at Z cars. I couldnt do what youve done, I had to have mine now!! Six months from start to finish and sveral empty bank -saving accounts.

cheers.

Ps shame about the front brakes. Mines at Zcars as we speak having the big brakes fitted. we could have done a deal on the four pots coming off !

Was that the mini in miniworld a several month ago? really nice colour. Have you still got the standard subframe or are you getting the tubular jobby for the bigger stoppers?
