What a relief

Howdy All

I picked the old tray back up yesterday from the exhaust shop after having 2.1/2 inch exhaust and extractors fitted , boy am i a happy man!!

The cruiser was having some problems over heating recently and i tried what i could in the front yard and asked around for different ideas. Got some good feedback on where to start, a silly mechanic told me i needed a new motor!! go figure hey.

On the trip home yesterday at 1300 (kimberley lunch time heat) which is about 100 k's i was doing the usual thing watching my gauges making sure all was good. Got going down the road just waiting for that temp gauge to rise up pretty quick like it has been doing but nope, didnt move a mm over operating temp. Instant relief it was but then i got thinking nah this cant be right so i cranked up the air con and put the foot down a fair bit to see if it would over heat...nope

People always say that there is no difference in power or only minor.when you upgrade to extractors and a larger exhaust but when your motor is as sad as my old girls that little bit extra feels like a whole heap.

For instance driving through the hills in the old girl is always a bit of a battle but i suppose most cars feel the same. She would always drop to 80 from 110 going up the main jump up into town but yesterday she only dropped to 95 from 110 so there must be some sort of difference there

I must say im very happy with what i paid for, should of done it along time ago..


Cheers


p.s she has a sweet note now too ;)
