Air Bumps

Moved the air bump back on the frame rail to line up with the axle again. If I move the axle back any further I'll have to add a platform for the bumps to engage since they are very close to the swaybar already!

Some shots of the finished steering column

Cut off the old panhard mount (left) and replaced them with these beefier version. These move the mounting point out and down 1"


Just clears the tire at full steer


Transmission mount




The lower channel mounts to the belly pan. I resisted doing it this way for a long time. I wanted to mount to the frame only so the belly could be removed without any hassle. This should work really well just makes pulling the belly a bit more work.. 




Limit straps are in!!! I've been trying different mounting methods for a long time and this should work really well

A little progress...

Installed the rear shocks and rolled the Rover outside with a little help from my dad this weekend. The proceeded to clean out the garage! :D

Once I tig'd the back section of the cage in I had to section these bars to allow the firewall to come out in the future








New joint for the front bars

Exhaust Part 1

Ebay tubing and muffler for the win! 
Well I guess that remains to be seen but the muffler is pretty nice for $40. I;m not sure what it's packed with but it's stainless and looks just like a Magnaflow. I'll probably put a pair of these on the STI.
Not huge fan of polished tubing but it was cheap... 

Muffler next to the transmission.


Downpipe to turbo connection


10" flex joint was a bit overkill but it's all they had in stock.


Need to order one more 45deg bend to finish it off.
