well done mate

alot of work has gone into this
makes me want to start taking mine apart and doing a proper job

how easy was the st170 downpipe to fit???

[j7aoc]

Very very nice

[clarks.2007]

Looks really nice love the colour. What Floor matts are they? I need some and cant find any nice ones or ford ones anywhere?

[BC DEVILLE]

The end result looks amazing. Very well done mate nice to see someone fixing it all up instead of buying a new shell and transferring everything over.

a little update

i wasn't happy with the front shocks, way too soft , the car was bouncing up and down at the front.
so i started adjusting the red koni's. the right one whent fine, but the left one isn't adjustable anymore, and it feels verry soft , so that has too be replaced. for now i fitted the original shock at the left front.




than i started with the st170 manifold

removed the old one



out with the pulsair tubes





from this

too this


too this




and finaly this




and it fits





next thing is making the mongoose exhaust fit the manifold

greetz

[dj_yd]

update
the bad koni is back to koni, they'll fix it , just have to wait

the st170 manifold is ready and the mongoose exhaust fits

i had a "spacer" lasered for between the manifold and the head so the manifold fits good



wraped the manifold , looks good





only waiting for a new "slim line " fan, the old one doesn't fit anymore

also got me some roose motorsport cooling and Ancillary hoses and fitted them
