Looking good matey, did you have any probs with the manifold fitment? i bought the same manifold to start with and it caught on the chassis at the top and the bottom A wad of cash and RTR's outstanding help custom made the manifold/cat and silencer! Have fun with other ST problems itll test ya! but BOY is it worth it! Ade

Hi Ade,
Yep the manifold was too long, I had to shorten it to make it clear the frame. Kind of expected that to happen though!

And the Krypton factor bracket at the other end. The selector has been rotated 90 degrees so the cables can run over the top of the gearbox. they then avoid the exhaust and only have 2 bends. so far it seems really smooth. Many thanks to the genius that came up with that idea.

The engine mount had to be moved 12mm up and about 40 mm back, hence the thick ali plate, only took a day to cut that puppy out!
