I got back on the road a few days ago. It takes about twice as long to put back together as it does to pull apart! The paint went on with a gloss to
it which lasted a few days but it then went flat after some cool weather. I gave it a bit of a polish but it really needs a buff to bring out a shine,
which i'll do soon. It looks better than it did anyway.
I don't have any photos of it complete yet but will get some soon. I was going to take some photos today but it's pouring with rain!! So some photos
will come in the next few days...............

What muffler are you running on the engine - looks like a Stinger with a supertrapp ?

That's it sort of. It's basically an off road racing exhaust. The Supertrapp can be tuned by adding or removing plates. It's not as loud as it
looks but it can be if I want it to be.

Thanks Mark - didn't know you could get Supertrapps big enough to fit the end of a stinger, but you learn something everyday.
I'd be interested to know from any of the offroad racers out there whether that setup would pass CAMS scrutineering these days ?

I think they would. Desert Moose used to have exactly the same exhaust on his race car. He will know if they are still legal.

Yeah I suspect they would as well, coz CAMS says "a muffler is to be fitted", and that's a Supertrapp is, at least to me - but "muffler" is a
very generic statement and some of the scrutineers are picky b*stards - and the pickiness varies from State to State, ie what Moose may have got away
with may not work in SA. However, I've got a club meeting over next week, so I'll ask some of the guys.
Cheers ... Kimbo

My exhaust is quiet enough to drive on the street so I think the scrutineers would have to be a bit harsh to not allow it.
