I all so had one of these come for my front diff which is now fitted i will get some more photos up tonight as i sent the front diff cove to a place up the road to have oil drain welded into it as when you fill the diff with oil the only way to get the oil out is drop the cover or suck it out

How do you figure out what boxes to use on the system?

As I need to make an exhaust for the van's turbo engine, but not got a clue other than needs less back pressure?

I don't no my self mate Dave gave me the rear box which off a escort Cosworth for free I did ask on here is I could just run the rear box no reply so as I won't to run is on the track some times I fort it best to run a center box which is strate throw 3inch and only cost Ł40 and it's stanless steel . So I'm like you mate I will just have to see . If you need to get any stuff to make your pipe let me no as I no a place in Walsall that dose all the stuff you should need

And for the first time last week i drove the car down the drive way turned it round and put it back its then it hit me just how bent the rear wing was me and Rex had a very good look at to try and come up with a fix it was iver splash out on a new one or cut it up so the plan for now was cut it up . wot i did was cut about 10mm from the drivers side to get the twist out of it then i drill down each of the legs with a 6mm drill and pushed 6mm all thread rod down the holes and at the same time i put fiber glass resin down the holes to fix the rods in place then i opened up the one side of the cut so i could push fiber glass past up and down the hole inside the ally plates were to hold it all in place till it all went hard which im glad to say is going very well now a lot of sanding work will need to be done but its looking good now
