Whypsi, your on mate, I'll give ya a ride in the HB for sure!

Also the scoop that hides the carbies is called a 'Garlits' bug catcher. They are very expensive, around $1300-1500, my aswell go injection for that money on a fricken scoop! :gun:

On another note. Good to see ya colour coded the scoop like my HB, they look much better matching! :spoton:

Street catcher scoop

Yeah buddy, looks awesome, gives it more of a lift. When the hell is the next driving event in SA, I have the urge to thrash the hb all the time now... Thats not good as I'll get tempted on the street too often! :furious:

scoop is now mounted. took a bit of thinking but its done. theres an air filter inside to keep out nasties. will change to a k&n one, the cheapo one is just to set up.

exhaust is starting to take shape. flanged at the extractors into 2 1/2". all bends are manderal bends, using a ricer cannon thats been hanging on the wall in my garage for ages. modified by cutting off the stupid 4 inch tip and welding in a 2 1/2" dump which will dump just before the diff. should be loud as the cannon is just a resonator
