Hi the exhaust is made from 2 1/2 inch stainless with a muffler that is used on the TRS single seater cars here(Toyota Racing Series) .I will have another muffler made with an off set in and out and hope that is a bit quieter.
There is a pic of it a few pages back
cheers

Ah nice, are the TRS mufflers available for sale locally or is it a controlled thing? I was only going to run a couple of resonators on mine, but my have to run a muffler, I guess we will see what the cert man has to say!

Hello, what is your resonator? Its brand specifically?

Hi there , my muffler has been custom made by a New Zealand company,they also make the mufflers for the Toyota Racing Series here in NZ

Nice rims but extremely over priced. You can get custom new rims made for as much.

Thanks for the spotting !
Yes had seen these for sale , they are the same price as the rims I had made, but include tyres, similar offsets to what I had made, I was unsure that they would clear my brakes so went for another set of what I had. Still would like a pair of TRD Tosco 13 x 9" some day to match the 4 13 x 8 that I have

Now have the clutch setup perfect , drives just like a road car ! Finding some issues that affected the clutch travel after having the gearbox out 6 times trying different things !!

Hi there
The issue was a small amount of end float in the input bearing in the gearbox , as the load started to come on the gears and as they are helical cut this would push the input shaft forward along with the clutch plate onto the floater plate , then push the second plate against the fly wheel, we are talking only 1mm in movement but that was all it takes.
That is why the clutch would start to take up then just bite and stall, with a standard clutch set up this end float would not be an issue .

Hope this makes sense .

Awesome work car looks great, do you have any more pics of how you setup the diff cooler, looking to do one of those myself pretty soon.

A couple more vids , starting to get to grips with the car every change made has been a step forward.It is a slow process of testing when you only want to change one thing at a time.

Come for a ride !
