Drove the CTT from Calgary, AB to Revelstoke, BC this past weekend. 800 km's round trip and did it on just over 1 tank of gas!
She performed beautifully along the way. Winter tires and AWD make for an amazing combination.

Some pics

ideally the audible will be as satisfying as the visual...my local Indy will end up doing the install. Too much of a PITA off my mid rise I presume. Probably have them install the Airmatic lowering links at the same time.

Everyone complains about 1 of the bolts.

I'll ask indy the cost. The cost at Hanks made me think I might as well get the entire exhaust installed at the labor cost

the secondary cat pipe is free and clear for access...that “one bolt” is referencing the primary cat pipe, that bolts directly to the header.

My Indy did a somewhat funky fix when replacing my leaking flex pipe, so that would complicate me trying to replace it anyway. Another pay them then, or pay them now thing. It was a labor saver when fixing the flex pipe...not when considering changing out the secondary pipe.

Not on my TTS. There was one bolt on one side that was a major PITA . I don't remember what the magic formula was to finally get it between wrenches, wobble extensions, etc but finally got it.

When I put it back together I used stainless metric socket cap screws so I could use a ball end Allen to get an easy angle on it in case I ever need to take it apart again.

While changing the plugs, coils, engine torque and CET last week, I painted the engine covers as well!

Been a while since I posted as the weather in the UK meant too cold to work on the car but finally a break yesterday so time to do the rear calipers.

Mucky wheel, grubby silver calipers and dirty suspension parts and arch liner





Wheels and arch liner off, clean and degrease. Masked and spray painted this time instead of brush painting. The fronts had been done with a brush but the wife prefers spray painting and although a lot more masking is required I thought I would try it.






Then painted many of the black suspension parts and all back.
Top hats of the disc will be painted another time.
And ignore the wheels I have replacements ready

Nicely done. Where's the jack-stand though?

Oh don't panic, I had it covered. Out of sight is an axle stand and the wheel shoved underneath the car .

Is a long reach 3 or 4 ton jack recommended?

Just have low low profile floor jacks for the sports cars.
