North east Jimny...........Gaz's

Well i wanted it to be able to be standard length, so closed is 82.5 cms same as standard panhard. Obviously when you cut it, the width of the 3 nuts alone makes it quite a bit longer so i shortened the panhard first.

Is there some problem with this i have overlooked lol?

What i did notice, is that when i diconnected the panhards front and rear, then shook/jumped/rocked etc the panhards were still inline? People say it settles way off but mine wernt? The axles are off to one side though so does need them.

Smoggy, im in washington mate Not too far.

You going to Tong?

were both panards disconnected at same time as they need to be.

impressed with those tho mate good job

yes mate, both disconnected....

I guess ill just have to make some measurements of arch gap or something and make them equal.


Cheers mate, just hope my welding holds up haha!

Other one done now, sorted!

looking tidy those mate maybe add a piece of angle along the length for more strength

There is angle along the length of it mate, its on the other side so can see it in pic well you can JUST see the edgeof it if you look carefully.

I now have cockeyed steering wheel.

However thanks to martin, im hoping to rectify that tomorrow! One job just leads to another a and another and another and another

Thanks Matin/Jamie the steering wheel is now spot on.... pretty easy to do


This arrived today....




Fitted



Shall update maybe today with my latest creation (hopefully) :evil: :whistle:

Err well this came today.... ansa front silencer from a mk2 golf gti lol pictured along side the standard jimny backbox.





Basically i wanted to replace the jimny "box" with something that would give a bit sound, after hearing Jons it gave me more reason to do it although as this front box is straight through and a "performance" style box i wasnt sure if it was going to be TOO loud... Hmm yeh

Cut flange off the old box and welded onto the new one after cutting some of the pipework down

Bolted up




Because of the straightness of this box compared to the jimny one the hanger position kinda pulls it down a little instead of up but seems to work fine, used the tow bar bolt (extended) as a hanger.





This is for now where it exits, got a bit dark to finish it but tomorrow i will be using the original tailpipe off the jimny and making it exit in the original hole in bumper. maybe later i might weld a beafier pipe on the exit?





All the bits ive grinded down and the flange and welds will all be tidied up tomorrow aswell and whole lot sprayed matt black with high temp paint to finish it off.

HOWEVER its a bit loud :lol:




we will see how it goes, it was an experiment really but im not sure if i will keep it on ?? Hmmmmmm! will picture it again tomorrow and take a daylight vid LOL

I have a power flow back box and its noisier than urs!!!

LOL;)

lol!

I had a feeling it was gonna be loud but nevermind! Cost me £15 quid for the new ANSA silencer so all is not lost Saying that i will probably end up getting used to it
