And that tells a story. I had a wheel bearing collapse on the drivers rear, whilst doing 60mph on the M6. Unfortunatley we had a 3.5hr wait beside the motorway just to get picked up
The ABS collar is detached or separate to the retaining ring which I havent seen before...
Unfortunatley it has killed the ABS sensor when its been slopping around in there so I will need to source a new one of them. Spare shaft in the garage and the disc brake conversion meant it was fixed in 30 mins. Looking into floating rears now as a way to make this issue easier next time.
Bit of a start on the exhaust as well. Its all tack welded together now then removed to weld fully. I need to order a joining flange for it but its nearly there. Looks pretty good too (if I do say so myself)...
Heatwrapped the stainless 4-2-1 manifold I already had and started building back from there:
Back to work tomorrow so it will wait until the weekend.

I think he has a time machine, gets to the end of the day then goes back to morning again lol,
Loving the build, and the exhaust look great.

Suzuki superceded the part with a combined retainer and ring. This is slightly more in cost that each individual separate part but cheaper than both. It is a single machined part.

This is absolutely fantastic! I was hoping to do something similar in my own car when I get time! I couldn't ask what wood you used (thickness in particular?).

This is absolutely fantastic! I was hoping to do something similar in my own car when I get time! I couldn't ask what wood you used (thickness in particular?).
A mixture of plywood. 12mm for the sub box and upright parts, 9mm for overall facing and 3mm for back of storage bits. Some angled dowl for the bit around the top to stop things falling off. Bead of silicone around all the internal joins of the sub box to try and seal it, though the enclosure is way too small for such a big sub.
The key is using a router and good glue to make the joints tight and strong. The thing is solid, but surprisingly light (until I put the huge sub in ). My upholstery skills are limited, and this was rushed so doesn't look that brilliant close up, something to re-do on a rainy day then.

Managed to get the front bit welded and a joining flange fitted to the end. Fitted it onto the car and reset all the engine management light things from it having no exhaust sensors and started her up. Very noisy without the back end box on but no EML (I had previously had problems with the 4-2-1 manifold on a standard exhaust causing sensor problems).
Then started messing about with some front hubs to get my head around a floating rear setup. There is a kit made by a russian fella which adapts it to use front hubs.
the kit:
and you take parts from the front hub to make it up for the rear
and that means that you I only need to carry one spare part for the next time a wheel bearing goes:
It also means that (if i use manual hubs) its possible to make the car run in front wheel drive only (e.g. if the rear diff blew, just take the rear prop off and switch off the back manual hubs).

Some good info here helping me get my head round it all
Also on another note having freewheel hubs all round means it can be towed without
starving the transfer box bearings of oil
