I did just pick up a bunch of grade 8 bolts to finally bolt the suspension in permanently. The 2 bolts for the double shear steering were $8 each! Lol still a lot cheaper than artecs kit though
Done yet?
Just got to Colorado. Lol
You’re mean.Oh it’ll probably be a couple weeks, just seeing if anyone was on ck5 today.
Temporary exhaust. Luke and I also got a lot of other stuff done, finished mounting the fuel cell, finish welded all the exocage, France the rear driveshaft carrier bearing crossmember built.
As for the front driveshaft apparently I need to find a 95 and newer 241 with the short front output shaft. Then I can use a regular 32 spline 1410 u joint style yoke.

Why cut a hole in your fender for temporary exhaust?

It’s only temporary with a muffler. When the turbo goes in it’ll exit the same place?
Better heat wrap the shiznit out of all that exh. I see lots of melting going on under that hood.
It wall all get headed wrapped, I can’t imagine it’s going to get any hotter than the turbo kit on the van, and it was in a smaller tighter space. Also I have spare fenders, but most likely the turbo exit will be in the same spot.
That seems silly.

A lot of it does to you, but which part? Lol
Exhaust exiting in front of the front seat on anything but an open air, non road driven, vehicle.
That sounds like a recipe for death or CO poisoning to me... Nice rig all around. But that's seems like a bad idea.

Road in a 9 second race car for 1500 miles with a fender exit. As do lots of people, I’m sure it’ll be fine.
Is this a race car?

No, it won’t get driven near that much. And as I pointed out this was the only place I could go with exhaust without severely limiting the uptravel.
But you are going to drive it like a race car right???
Uptravel is overrated
Yeah if you set up the rear a little soft and stand on it all the time you will gain the up travel you need.
Well of course.
