Dylan8's Vento

Cheers!
It's been through a few stages. All free/stock parts except for the rear muffler which I had to get as both the stock ones I had orginally ended up with holes.
I'll do a nicer kit later. Will need to go up a size I think as it'll be moving more air in the future

Orginally I had stock 2l (2.25"?)

Then removed the resonator

Then deleted the suit case and swapped the rear muffler for some generic straight through muffler.

Then guttered the cat (only to try and resolve oil temp issues)

Now it has a factory resonator back in. From memory all stock size (2.25"?) except for the twin exits.

It sounds pretty gross down low. But few people have said it sounded alright at full noise before I put the res back in

Nice! Throw a vid up once you get the new setup on. You can never hear enough of the noise haha

Cheeeers!

Was getting dark but grabbed some slightly better pics.
Desperately needs a wheel alignment but steering feels better already

Not much to update.
Finally slapped the 312mm on the front.
Currently running green stuff pads with generic rotors but hoping to find some lighter rotors (prob 2 piece) to try and match the weight of the 288s I had on previously.

Before and after

Not much happening in vento land.
A covid19 lock down or two ago waterboy and madglf3 came to help push the brake pedal and turn the brake bleeder nipples.
Rear bias backed off and supports under the beam

Brake pedal feel was the best I think it's been since I have had the car. Rolled it out ready for a shake down and pad bed in session, casual first to second gear change and no power...

Pushed the car back and couldn't spot or hear any problem, freaking out clutch or gearbox input I wanted to cry.

Went over some stuff, not much luck, about to give up and then noticed a tiny bit of day light showing through the drivers shaft.

This was the result...


No idea why there was no rattling or banging or horrible sounds. Made me completely overlook driveshafts.
So much abuse, pot holes, hooning and driving at speed and then it lets go just rolling at walking pace.
Sourced a used oem shaft, going to give it a refresh and fingers crossed can hit the road.

Fitted up the new bootlid (desperate for a polish) and have a new bonnet waiting for a second set of hands to fit.. Some PDR on the roof and it'll be almost hail free
