Rear O2 sensors came in around Cat3 spec
You definitely won't need them on a racecar... don't even have to run cats do you ?

Don't need cats.
Pick up more parts for the exhaust on Monday.
Other than Wilkos you mentioned in a PM, you know anyone to look at my steering?

Get ozy to have a look

Red Trev down the road is good with old stuff too

[ozyozyozy]

No cats Datto for racing😊, guess the powers at be haven't figured that out yet.
Will do craig, already made couple of changes to meet circuit regs, when the motor is back in, will get the car audited.
The ute I play with is planing on been out there too.
So more incentive for yours to be out there.
They will have someone looking after driving standards also to stop intentional buff and barge.

Different path on the passenger side, bit easier with nothing in the way.

Looking good, looks like a pr!ck of a job getting those pipes through though.

 

How is your to do list looking?

 

Must be getting pretty short now.

[eyepeeler]

It's not that pretty but it will do the job.

Looking Good Craig

Epic job by the looks of it

[Uncle Chop Chop]

It might not be pretty, but it looks like the job is virtually done.

[Potta]

Yep, up to the easy but now!

Looks good, but I'd highly recommend ditching those flanges and getting some 3 bolt ones if you can.

Love the look of the gearbox, pure function

[orangeLJ]

V bands are amazing! 3 bolt flanges take up too much space.

[eyepeeler]

Thanks for the heads up on the 3 bolt flange 76lx. Now that I have the flange and Jeff is using them, will stick with it for the moment. Money spent else where.
Cheers for that though.

Tacked the merge pipe in.



This is the perf pipe I rolled up out of flat sheet which will be the start of the muffler. Hotdog style muffler. Any ideas on the insulation to use?? Going with steel wool at this point.

[eyepeeler]

Milestone reached!! The Monaro is on the boots, and man is it a tough stance.



Nice Torana in the background.

Might be better using fibreglass in the muffler rather than steel wool.

As it is going to spend most of its time going hard there may be enough heat and flame to ignite the steel wool.

If you dont believe it burns grab a bit and put a lighter to it. Be ready to drop it quickly.

I use fibreglass insulation all the time at work, would you use rockwool type or duct wrap style insulation?

[Rockoz]

The stuff Ive seen used is close to the fibreglass batt roof insulation.

[stevemc32]

Here's the stuff designed for mufflers.

Stainless steel wool not steel wool, as stated it will burn & rust in a very short space of time.

Work machines make it a bit easier to cut parts. Programmed that last night and cut it this morning.



Cleaned up parts



So far so good.
