An axleback frees up a couple of ponies and makes the car sound heaps better without getting too much louder, at a good price. A complete catback would be great, but it's gonna be heaps louder.

In any case, either option would go well with a smaller pulley.

Do you need a new belt for the smaller pulley? Or can the slack be taken up elsewhere?

I think theres 2 adjusters and 1 on the pulley i think.

The car sounded lethargic on sunday, just an axle-back would sound & let the car breathe a hell of a lot better

easier then the v6 hub conversion, but i dont think its exactly safe for use on a daily, any opinions, would make finding rims easier

marcs_sp20 · 20-02-2010, 11:44 PM

hub converters are like big spacers, technically not legal here in Aus, you'd be best off finding the same hubs off an SP20

D Valerius · 20-02-2010, 11:49 PM

Oh im not touching them with a 10 foot pole, i think youd be mad to try it, bad enough getting rims under the guards as is.

just thought it something funny as i was browsing the ebays

would like to point out the fact that your car will be held up by 6 (m8 from looks of it) 1" screws per wheel.. fcuk that sh!t haha

D Valerius · 21-02-2010, 08:57 AM

yes, sure looks like it, no way that is anywhere near safe, the studs dont even look like they go all the way through

spenaroo · 21-02-2010, 10:57 PM

well, those bolts have a shear capacity of a few tonnes, and look at the size of the studs holding your rims on, hell use the size of the 5 studs compared to those 6 bolts.
not defending it by any means, i think there crap. and i wouldn't touch them. just putting what i know out there, (u should see the size of bolts holding couplings and other drive-line parts of hydraulic motors/machines together.
