When the engines exhaust gasses hit the turbine in the turbo, it baffles the sound, I am hoping I can lose the whole muffler as it will increase the flow and make it sound sportier. It’s so silent now it’s sereal! I keep thinking it’s stalled at idle

Fitted a spoiler that was well made (or copied) but the fixing system supplied didn’t work so it has been bonded with tiger seal and there are two holes in the rear door that I drilled and there are two bolts on the spoiler that are loosely inserted. Should hold as it’s purely cosmetic. I also put the CAN gauge on and routed the cables. Will wire it when it’s not 30 degrees.

need to replace the steering wheel. The rubber has come loose from the metal. The jimny steering is vague enough let alone when the actual wheel moves! was looking a few options:
-replace original for same generation (looks most sensible)
-put one on from a swift sport (not sure if it will fit)
-put quick release and delete airbag (never a good idea to remove life saving devices)
any ideas?

I have already decided I am going to forge the engine. The Jimny is rapid with 150BHP but I want to make it more ridiculous. Before I took it to the Dyno I changed the suspension damping to the hardest setting. It has transformed it at speed and feels planted. I believe I will only need to put forged rods in and bearings for them.
this company specialises in Suzuki is awesome and the owner is super helpful. They have these rods:
