That looks very nice, I wish I had the mig welder etc at home and I would have done mine myself. What rear boxes are you fitting Charl? I have the same/similar centre boxes as you have with no balance pipe and jap style rears and its sounds a bit raw boy racer style. The centre box I wanted did not fit in the tunnel area as it was too wide.
I also see you are quite ingenious with steel construction as I observe you have your car up quit high, show a pic of that please.

@ Tony: I'm want to go jap style at the back but the guys at cowley is getting me some oval, I'll use either them or just big diameter rounds. Don't give a shit about the noise outside, as long as I can hear myself think in the car.
The ramp I actualy build for my sx back in the day, it would tilt over when the car is far enough onto it but that doesn't work with the zx's heavy arse. I'll post a pic sometime.
@Gary: downpipes and test pipe are from DNA Motorsport , modified them a bit to work for me.
The boxes are from cowley and the pipes are from the local dairy.

That ramp looks quite handy, I would like to make one but storing it in my garage would be a problem, maybe make collapsable may work.
Got the wide band fitted and it idles at 14.2 to 14.8 on each bank, will do a run on boost soon and see what I get there. What afr are you running under boost? Do you think 12.0 in boost is too lean as a starting point?

Before you build a ramp talk to me.
Under boost you should run low 11's, 12 would be a bit lean for a start.
