You bastard, Streets are what i plan on getting for my bus once its goes fast.

Street driven?

[Javal]

Streets are pretty much the sickest fucking wheel in creation.

[Konakid]

Ohh im well aware, still available brand new too, im currently saving...

[The Kid]

It will be street driven, yes, as little as I can manage though, not hard when not working or learning. May be getting a free KE70 sometime maybe, so would daily that.
Might try and get a myriad of lock nuts for the Streets in the meantime though

Thanks Grant, and yeah the S13 is Now man up and finish your bloody car!

Small update for today. No tyres yet though

My sister has a nice little 1982 RA60 Celica, which happened to have a slightly larger exhaust fitted previously, which was originally from a Corona! (they're near identical cars underneath) So today decided to do the old switcheroo. The exhaust was one piece though and proved a royal pain the ass to remove and then install on the Corona.

Had to throw the back end up in the air, then disconnect the panhard, shocks and swaybar to drop the diff back on the ground to create some room to weave the system through.


Too many cars! Selling the Silvia and Celica though.


Here you can see the difference in diameter, the Corona exhaust (top) being a much more sensible and workable two piece design.


Both used the same front section however.


New gasket rings where the exhaust meets the manifold:


And done.


I was afraid it would sound like a diesel, being a truck engine and all, but it gave it a rather throaty growl, decently loud but not too intrusive into the cabin, plus no drone! Was a prick of an all day job, but well worth, alot more enjoyable to drive now. Maybe breaths a little better, but not a massive difference.

Wheels tomorrow hopefully, definitely by the end of the week
