Just ordered one off amazon. Got enough torque on it to tighten up the massive nut

Well, usually that big nut is really stuck. So you need something to lock flywheel good. And massive wrench, or long extension. I usually put engine to wooden pallet and strap it on it hard, so it wont move. Impact wrencesh usually doesent have enough "mass" to get that nut to move

It does tighten them up to 300ft/lbs, made sure it did before buying it

i used a piece of 2 by 2 angle iron with 2 holes in that fit over the dowels...rest it on the floor and go for it.

Sure this will do it just enough, I will let it do a couple of ugga duggas

nice tool to have thought as I will no doubt have to change the clutch discs after a while of racing

Got 40quid for exhaust at scrapyard. One on ebay for 225 used but I cannot be bothered hoarding all this crap

The cats go for a pretty penny too at the tat yard

Is there another cat in the middle of the exhaust also?

Just dropped the subframe off for sand blasting.

Going to paint it with a light gray 2pac, make things look cleaner underneath and help me identify if and where leaks are coming from. I would go for white but that's very pretentious
