yeh its not fun but i'd imagine your 1000's of times worse than me.
with a kombi and that much power theres no way you'd want vinyl you'd slide right off the seat withe the power

I upgraded, well renewed all the necessary brake components too.
I put 4 new flexible brake hoses, as the originals were a bit hard, and all new brake fluid, readjusted, cleaned and checked all components.
The front pads and rear shoes were still nearly 100% so they stayed.
Brakes really good now.
I hope I did the right thing

Okies
was thinking if using braided on elvis, still might just for the 'silver' factor rather than normal flex tubes.

It is always hard to say about exhaust size. I suppose mandrel bends and a good muffler make the difference.
Even my 300hp supercharged EH Holden has only a 2.5 inch exhaust. They reckon it's good up to 6800rpm at that size, but I never go over 5500 rpm, so
I suppose it is safe.
I wanna get another foxtail for the bus though. It looks pretty cool up in the middle of the roof.
