After finishing working on my kids Chicken "turbocoop"
I was tired looking at my spare wheel tub, and I don't like word tub in my car so I had to cut the ugly biotch out of my sc400
took me 10 min to cut it and 35 min to clean it up mask it and spray it.
I have a sheet of aluminum/ rubber seal will be cut and bolted up that's next

Now looking at the exhaust pipes and how tooth pick puney they are, I'm just thinking of just unbolting it completely after the first center muffler and go single axleback dual tip chop

eBay
They came with bolts, rather than those cheap bendy things. So I actually took off the rubber, and drilled small holes thru the pedals so they're fixed into place securely.
I've had 'em for a few years now; never came loose. Highly recommend!

pulled 30 inches of vacuum from the A/C system for 45 minutes, sealed it and checked it an hour later, still 30 inches so no big leaks. Filled it with 60 psi @ 90 degrees outside of R134 and felt very little cooling (max setting) coming out of vents, compressor kicked on at about 20 psi so I know its running quiet, Low side stays at 55-60 when running. I dont have a high side fitting for my manifold set. Could the drier be plugged up? I never changed any hardware besides the freon. system was never opened to air.
