Hi guys,

Has anyone had a go at redoing their dashes in real or fake suede?

Hi guys

I've got a 2 litre 924 and am wondering if anyone out there has wrapped their exhaust manifold with heat wrapping and did it make any difference?

I've read in some places that wrapping i ...

I'm thinking about welding up a harness bar and perhaps putting in some diagonal struts for body torsion on my 924.

Cheers,
Owen

Thanks again for the info.

Daniel, I'll get back to you as I might take you up on your offer for a muffler. You don't have an airbox as well do you?
