Planning a drawer system. Because i use it for hunting and fishing itll be good to have somewhere to put wet waders and jackets away without getting everything else wet. I am thinking two vertical drawers on one side and a box on the other for a dog box. Anyone have any ideas?

The postman delivered a patch cable this morning so I was finally able to SWR my CB. Initially it was sitting at 2.5 but after grounding the tailgate where the antenna is mounted to the body and adjusting the length of the antenna I was able to get it down to 1.4 which is good enough for my purposes! Then I tried it out and started picking up some guy from Stuttgart! :blink:

I also got my hankook a/t tyres mounted.

Cut off my 1+3/4" exhaust system & standard cat. Installed a 2" Hi-flow cat and a 2" exhaust system.

So thats my exhaust done now til the end of time.

1.8L with extractors to a 2" Hi-flow cat and then 2" exhaust pipe, muffler and dumped in the rear.

Sounds nice. Getting her on a DYNO again in a few weeks. Previously pulled 97HP, interested to see how it goes now.

The 1+3/4 worked OK with the 1.8L, in high revs the pipe cause a bit of a restriction. Im supercharging the 1.8 in a few months and that'll definitely need a 2"

Today I blanked off the vacuum hose from the intake manifold and shorted the vacuum switch, so I now have a nice solid green light again after fitting my manual hubs. Thanks to whoever it was that made the guide!
