Look probably not going to do that. Probably just spray the joints and see if it bubbles. Which it may slightly as it's not welded its essentially clamped at high pressure. But actually it probably won't, we used a fair bit of exhaust sealant on all joints and that stuff is suppose to fix that by nature.
QUICK UPDATE:
Trying to keep you guys entertained and keep myself enthusiastic on the project
SUPERPRO BUSHINGSSo these are sorta the most annoying thing to buy, especially if you're replacing most on the car as the naming convention can actually get quite convoluted. I am getting about 6 packets of these poly bushings for around $300 for my car in the next week. I already have 2 packets so far (see below), they are the trailing arms (really big suckers) and some upper outer bushes, as my brother had them in stock at his store. The rest are coming from the warehouse. There was potential to buy the normal OEM rubbers, although 2 things sorta stopped me: 1. Getting all the pre fitted arms with rubber bushes was the same price as Polys and they weren't even original they are remakes obvs. 2. I didn't really want the car to be fitted with a random amount of poly/rubber bushes, or potentially having rubber ones wearing out way before the poly ones.
I wasn't overly worried about a rough ride, as I can still dampen lots of the suspension/raise car if I absolutely have to. So all in all these will go in next weekend hopefully (Dad brought a Wildtrak and has suddenly gone around Victoria with mum in it, so ill have to wait till next weekend), utilising the bushing press machine we have I am curious how quickly we can get it done. After this an alignment and check my bloody ABS/sensors etc. to fix the service light I have atm.
DOOR+SPOILERGet this done in Melb by my work friend, as it's run over time!! Spoiler sprayed and then fitted probably by myself shortly after.
EXHAUST EXTENSION After I've got the car running down in Melb, I'll get the exhaust guy to take a look and pretty much make up a 1m 2.5in pipe with fittings and a high flow cat (200 cell will be good) and have a proper completely modified exhaust all the way to the head.
Now I'll want to get a tune pretty quickly as my car will be throwing CAT codes after it though, so next would be
TUNEHaven't heard back from merlin in a while, I suppose I'll get the exhaust shit booked in then contact him before hand with a more definitive timeframe.
FUTURE THINGS:
Anything in the future after the main items above are done would be either a mixture of a headunit upgrade, bodykit attachments, new rims, VLAND headlights, swaybar kit in probably any order.
Next update probably after the bushings are done,
Avenir
