3” exhaust
Has anyone fabricated a 3” exhaust system on the 75? I tried to mock up a 3” system with bends and straight sections around the dedion subframe, and over the half-shafts, but the space around there is very tight. I’m thinking of keeping my 2.5” exhaust system for now but if anyone has already done s...

Re: South Africa - 1982 GTV6 2.5 Restoration (50/100)
This build is awesome, I love parts coating. Need to learn how to do it properly, painting just won't do.
MD,
Well he does have the Midas touch. So anything he touches turns to gold, so by now, most of the vital parts are probably already coated in gold

Re: Fitting an electrical brake vacuum pump
Nice. I’ve never seen this setup, would this eliminate the need for the servo?
I heard MD has vacuum pumps too……

Re: Engine smoking
Brian’s probably right. If it’s the rings, then you should see constant blue smoke.

Re: Crank case ventilation and negative pressure
Which do you recommend? Some of the stuff I see for sale don't have the right mechanical design to separate oil from the air and they're super expensive. Some of the industrial oil separators I see online should work well, but they need to be adapted to the engine bay.

Re: Need help on the Alfetta GTV6 propshaft
I like keeping the rubber donuts front and back to absorbed the engine pulses and will not cause too much gearbox chatter . But if we had a CV center it will be able to accommodate the engine and transaxle misalignment. What do you guys think?

Re: "Patches" MD's Final Racing Project
Lovely! Daniel also used these wheels. 16" wheels with BBK is great. JK squeezed some big ones using 15" wheel. He would use 14's if he could... Where is Daniel these days anyway?

Re: 75 Twin Spark Engine Head Removal Tool
just give JK a horse, so there will be no dispute on how many horsepower he has. He can't say he has 256 horses when he only has one.

Crank case ventilation and negative pressure
I think there's merit in creating negative crankcase pressure. But maybe it has more to do with seal longevity as opposed to "free horsepower". I don't like the fact that hot crankcase air gets into the intake. For a road car, emissions forces you to do this, but for an off-road car, I que...
