My list is about 1/5 as long but I'm too busy getting pissed and playing video games.

My list is shorter.

2. Fit radiator and bleed cooling system
3. Drive car on to trailer and head for Wakefield
4. Business finally sold. Apply for Aged Pension (instead of playing video games)

New B-pipe Vs **** pipe...

 
The join a the B-pipe into the flex join...

It's about a 1.25" diameter for the exhaust to flow out of.... I'm surprised it made 82RWKW! I've cut and ground it back to a near 2" flow now, should be much nicer!
 
B-Pipe bolted on ready for a few tack welds and then to remove and fully weld it up.

Couple more bits completed.
 
Exhaust welded up and bolted on, including the straight pipe, which should be EVEN LOUDER now with the cleaned up flex join...

 
 
Fixed the tray up in the base of my scoop so it keeps the hot engine bay heat separate from the cold air intake which enters via the scoop. Just a quick 10min job with polycarbonate and a jigsaw. Might put a couple of rivets in to hold it into place properly and then run a bead of sikaflex around the edges.

 
Intake pipe clamped on.

 
Then mounted back into it's place. Scoop to enclosed pod filter to ITB air box...

New B-pipe Vs **** pipe...    
 
I've seen some ordinary exhausts in  my time, but that's a special kind of ugly!

As you can see here, Toyota did a top job on making the Primaries very nicely made, however, it seems like they spent the night on LSD when they jigged together the Secondaries...
