RetroPug's Ph.1 Diablo Gti-6

[Matt-Rallye]

Thank you for the positive comments.

Progress has been slow, not got much time and I keep being supplied with faulty or incorrect items which slows everything down.

I did get my cat repaired though, and made into a sleeve joint with the centre-section modified to match. It should now seal very well.



Tried refitting it and my cheap fitting kit bolts turned to cheese 75% of the way through. Fire ring is stuck on the manifold as well which is annoying. New kit ordered.

All that's really left to do is brakes but I'm waiting for exchanged bits plus I really hate doing brakes for some reason.

Does anyone know how much the cat should be able to move when the fitting bolts are tight? Mine could still pivot up and down with the crap bolts mostly tightened but I'm not sure they were holding it properly.

On mine and zakks we just used brand new clamps and gaskets from ECP, was cheap as chips and sorted them both right out.

on my car with the bolts fully tight, the cat is solid to the manifold

And now sits level & central to suit your OCD
