Lol, you should see our neighborhood a couple of years ago. The Swedish DVLA had this test where every houseowner could buy their own speed bump outside their house for a small fee. There was one road in perticular which had a speedbump every 20-30meter or so. They had to remove it later because emergency services couldn't drive there. :rolleyes:

You can see where the exhaust hits the floor too :D

Get Air bag suspension, so you can just raise it for bumps ...

If you look very carefully, you can see what was causing my exhaust leak...













:p


I've also fallen victim to the S14/S15 exhaust component inconsistencies Two different S14 turbo elbows/dump pipes, two different lengths :rolleyes: About 1-2cm longer and angled slightly different, so my front pipe bracket wouldn't fit... :rant: Two of the bottom nuts are an absolute fooking PITA to do up on this Trust style elbows :mad: Took ages to get the centre one on the bolt and the gearbox side nut can't be done up with a normal spanner. I landed up doing Yakozan's half spanner trick, except more extreme....

The U-Bute Gearbox-Side Turbo Elbow Bolt Spanner :D




The fitted item

Lol, I recognise that spanner. :D
I did my lower ones from below without to much issues.

The bolt which needs the special spanner is a real PITA though.
It's hard to do tight with such a small one. I ended up fitting something on it for leverage. Can't remember what though. I think it was a ringspanner.

Think that had been cracked a while. Noticeable difference. Think the engine appreciated me fitting some new sparks too :)
