| mps6dave | 05-08-2012 10:22 AM | downpipe fitment right guys,iv got a 3"dp coming later this wk so i can rid the exhaust of the brick in the std dp.iv had the car on my lift and been weighing the situation up.with the car being rhd and not lhd like yours,mazda have dumped the servo and brake m/cylinder in the dam way for it to come out the top.
so iv decided to do it from the bottom.looking at it ill need to remove the tmic to access upper bolts shields etc.then the steering column bottom bolt,p/s hp pipe off the pump,return off the resevour,a/roll links off struts,bottom hub bolts,then 8 subframe bolts and out that will come with rack,pipes,cooler etc.then out with the drive shaft as it needs replacing anyway.
i think i should be staring the dam thing in its face.do you guys know any problems in doing this or know if will work,iv estimated about 3hrs to do it all.am a mechanic and have my own garage and tools etc so thats were the speed will come in.feed back will be appreciated |
