Mazdabaters peice of crap FC.

So I'm back on full hours at work next week finally. Means I can go in on fridays and start making some shit up for the FC

so I went back in and started doing a bit.

My V-Band clamps for my exhaust turned up, I got them off ebay for cheaper then it was to buy the flanges locally. Turned out I could have gotten them cheaper too as the guy that sold them too me was an ausrotary member, and noticed my username but I had already paid. Ah well.

So I cut the flanges off my de-cat pipe and put the new v-band ones on, put one on the end of the dump and stuck it in the car. It sat in there alright. I think it was like this with the previous setup, the rear of the de-cat was lower then the front, and I wanted it to angle to the left of the car more. Also a long story short when my manifold got changed, way back when I first brought the abortion of a turbo kit they had to route the plumb back of the wastegate differently, which annoyed me as it was no longer a straight flow but an S shape. So fuck it

, I cut the dump pipe up, I'll correct the angle the cat comes out on and plumb it back in straight at the same time.

I was going to continue however my dropsaw disc bit into part of the dump when I was cutting it and took a chunk out of it, will get a new disc from work tomorrow.

How it did sit

Going to fix the dump/wastegate
