Hey Mike nice 80! ;D

can you tell me what it's like to do 110km/h on the black top with the 33inch tyres? does it turn nicely etc. and have you noticed your lowrange crawling suffer a little bit? and does the outside wall of the tyre hit the guards at full flex and do they leave little shiny marks on the body of the car from the inside wall of the tyre at full flex?

thanks mate.

Very nice mate. Almost looks like mine!!
What sort of exhaust system do you have? I'm looking at upgrading mine, but I don't think extractors are worth the expense as it already has headers.

Hi Jr80
The 33's are fine, they don't touch the body or guards with a 2 inch lift. I drives well at all speeds, although if it's fully loaded in the back and the roofrack I have to be carefull when overtaking because as I go over the camber in the road I can feel the weight shift.

Hi Redfox
The exhaust was fitted by Mettams Mufflers here in WA. I think it's a Lucas system. I had the extractors fitted at the same time because I only had a standard manifold. They fitted 100 series extractors which run down the inside of the chassis rail. The 80 series ones wrap around the chassis under the drivers seat (I don't know why). I wanted the space between the chassis rail and the body sills free so I can get some water/fuel tanks made up to fit in there. The difference in power is really noticable. It's one of the few mods that I done that I noticed an immediate improvement in performance. I also replaced the air filter with a K&N one to have good flow of the gases right through the motor.

Great stuff. Thanks for the info, I'll look into it a bit further. ;)
