yofoot what exhaust u running righ now??

Right now... Shock.

yes it is on the list of upgrades to be done.

I want to upgrade the brakes and wheels first though.

I was wondering if anybody ever upgraded to extractors on a BT.

I would like to get thicker extractors when ever I am doing the exhaust.

Also, I know most the extractor go 4-2-1, how hard will it be to do a dual exhaust? so it will be 4-2, and does it really make a difference or should just thicken the single one out exhaust?

thE ST comes like that from what i can see it has 2 flex joints connecting to 1 pipe. i can also ask my mechanic if hE did that to his BT

there are basically two exhaust types for the 20 valve,signified at the ends
i) Single exhaust end
ii) Dual exhaust ends
both are 3" pipes but the dual splits into two 2 1/2" pipes into two different sized barrels at the ends. Why different sized,one works all the time(right side) and the other partially (left side) and will increase with rpm (did not believe this until one morning left car idleing for about 5 min then saw more vapour coming from the right than the left as well as quantity displaced)
Perferably try to get the original cause it is tuned. also the flex joints are just below the extractors and it is solid all the way to the rear, try to get the original brace below the cross member it helps Twisted Evil

you might find the foot rest in a scrapyard. My ae 80 was originally manual and it never had a foot rest Sad

. Not too sure if the ae80's actually came with those.

hmmm i go try an find 1. hertz do those pedal covers where the X kinda shaped better for heal an toe work as good as i think thy would?

I have a set of aro speed but they just there for the bling factor Smile

My pedals naturally close so heel and toe is pretty easy with the stock pedals. IMO that money will be better spent on a K&N cone filter or something more performance oriented. Cuz you will hardly find yourself using heel and toe, unless you plan on competing in dex.

what oils to use in a ST20v?

smokey1275 · Posted: Tue Apr 15, 2008 6:46 am Post subject:

normal Np 20w50 works well , support the local stuff people , its worth it , i hardly get burn off using our own locally "brewed oil" don't use a straight 50w oil as this will play with the oil control valve.You can research oils on the net and see which give the best in terms of high flash points(oil burn off rate temp.) Very Happy
