This is to help try and cover site costs, and reduce redundant and argumentative posts. Small $ donations via our link above will not be considered. We still require ONE post in the Intro section (bottom of the main Forum section list) to introduce yourself: NO QUESTIONS THERE - THEY WILL BE DELETED; Search and read first before staring a new thread, most topics are WELL covered here. Also to NOTE, the owner of this website lost his home in the L.A. Wildfire storm in January; See the USA section for more details. Your consideration and understanding on use of this site is expected. It's NOT a free social media platform - decades of time and personal money are invested. We have a zero tolerance policy on attacks. Do NOT write us direct and ask questions unrelated to the Forum, we do not offer Tech support direct, they will be deleted.

More shenanigans... I noticed that my rear brake caliper's bleeding screw had a little mist of brake fluid around the threads. I already tightened it probably more than I should but it was still getting moist, so on my lathe I turned a special crush washer from copper. Annealed it, put it in, blead the brakes, problem solved!





I mentioned earlier that I will do a cut-out system for my exhaust. It is as loud as my ex on a good day. I like loud pipes but at 160km/h it's a bit too much... Before I commit to modify my exhaust, I thought I'll try a DB killers first. Found the right diameter, pressed them in , and put few tack welds on:





People on Amazon reviews said that they reduce low end noise, some said that they reduce a lot of noise, but they obviously don't have an Irish ex and don't know squat what noise is... After a ride today it looks to me that they do nothing. Maybe a tiny wee bit helpful, but maybe it's just my butt-dyno wants to see that as a placebo effect
