Living in Cali gotta keep it Catted. Had a test pipe on my prelude 10 years ago and never again lol. Paired with my thermal exhaust still nice and quiet but at the same time adds the right about of extra rumble and crackles

Btw I couldn’t find this info online but anyone know how many cells is the Milltek dp? The catalyst is a fatty so idk if it’s over 200 cell lol

Did you use a defouler with it? If not any codes? I have one going in eventually. Curious what to expect also using Thermal exhaust

No defouler. Has not triggered a CEL yet. I was running a whoosh catted for 6 months before I had to take it off for smog, ran it with a dizzy stage 2 and never got a CEL.. now when I flashed my e30 dizzy it did trigger a CEL, once I went back to stage 2 no cel

Changed my serpentine belt, idler, and tensioner pulley. The idler pulley felt kinda bad. Belt and tensioner looked fine.

Looks like a big job, how long did it take?

Did the back brakes which were more difficult than the front. Both sets of slider pins were rusted in place, even the ones that had the boot on correctly. One side was so bad, I had to use 1000 grit sandpaper to get the finish smooth again. Luckily I had some pin grease left over as the back s didn't come with any like they did with the front set.

I struggled to get the inside pad pin aligned in the piston X grooves. I still feel like the brakes are less grabby than before I swapped.

It's honestly not that bad. Changing the belt, tensioner and idler took an hour max. Getting everything else out of the way took an hour too. I'd recommend that you replace your motor mount while you do the belt.

Installed my ac line that I always complain about. Now I just have to hope and pray that my compressor is not shot.
The line required some bending to get it to fit, but it shouldn't be rubbing on anything.

I have a compressor you can have for shipping costs.

Wow, thanks!
I'm going to see if mine is bad, but if it is, I will gladly take you up on that offer.

Had to bend mine also. It was the bottom hose on the evaporator to the condenser. Also I have everything ro pull the vacuum and refill. If you want to make the hour drive.

Dropped the tranny in the s280 fiesta. Looks like my tranny took a dump, i was thinking the noise was the flywheel. Thankfully I had already order a new to me one along with the rts kit. Here are some pics of the flywheel and clutch. If anyone needs a core or transmission to rebuild just lmk.

I have a buddy who works at a shop, but if he's slammed, I might have to take you up on that offer

I'm curious what failed in the transmission. Are you going to pull it apart yourself?

I'm not sure exactly, I'm guessing a bearing somewhere. This one I'm not taking apart.

Contact Colby @ Clarke Transmissions. He may be interested in the core*

I did at first, but you can see the top grove very easily. Once that is vertical, you'll know the bottom will line up with the pin.
