Back from the dead
Since I'm stalled at the moment for my track car ; waiting on my CAE shifter since the beginning of November, I thought I could do a few things for Euclid for a change...
With the 195-45-13's and the drop, the TT race headers are the low point on the car, and they seem to be rubbing more and more on the ground...
So last year at Cincy, I bought a stock 16V downpipe & manifold.
The downpipe had the usual, 25 year old + flexpipe destroyedness.
So with my local VW parts sourcing, I bought a Mk2 flex part...
Cut off the old flex, and just finished TIG welding the new flex on the downpipe with some stainless filler rod. Just need to get Euclid back
from storage (won't be for a little while I still need to pour my concrete slab for the garage first...)
