Finally some thread worthy updates. I purchased a flywheel a while back from a 03 cobra that needed resurfaced. I ended up just sending it to McLeod to have them replace the friction ring instead of resurfacing it so I go that back and all I need is to pick up a RXT/RST. I haven't decided which but am leaning towards the RXT. I also picked up a SLP loudmouth 1 catback from SVTp's classifieds. Exhaust was in great shape but in just raw stainless so I spent way too much time sanding the pipes down and polishing them. Here's the exhaust right out of the box.
Process started by sanding with 80 grit and my orbital sander.
Then 220 and 320 grit
Then stepping up to 400, 600, 800.
Final sanding started with 1000 then moved to 1500 and then 2000 grit.
Then I polished all the pipes and hung them on the car. They still need adjusted but that'll have to wait for the transmission and clutch to arrive and be installed. Here is the untouched pipe on the left with the polished on the right.
They aren't perfect but look way better then they did.
All that's left on the car are clutch and transmission. Then hook the rest of the exhaust up including welding on a 3" v band to get rid of the band clamp where the downpipe meets the rest of the exhaust. Then off to have the car tuned once the clutch is broken in and any leaks are fixed.
