Yes and it's the biggest bar the factory made too :p. But I also almost died once when the nut came off one side of the swaybar. Having no swabar would be a deathwish, seriously :). I only remove useless things from the car, rubber/tar/aircon everything else is still there

Teletran1, I've seen you spying around here a bit late at night :), I was going to send you a message with some manifold plans if you were keen to do some welding. I got a new bit to rebuild the torch on my plasma today so I can crank the amps enough for alloy and continue cutting the guts out of my second chopped manifold. I gave up on the other one since I thought this new one was a better idea. It's harder to cut out tho because I've left the top on the manifold, so no grinder this time. I go to both forums, but don't like to post the same stuff on both :). I should probably be ordering some kinda of alloy grinding disk so I can cut some mass out of the stock manifold while it's off

Yea mate, I've throw up my msn, you can email me if you want, I know your PM box gets a little flooded.. I havnt gone any further with my manifold yet, still need to fold up the top plenum, but wanted to do something about reducing the lower plenum volume around the base of the plenum/runners first... Mite be a good job for around Christmas if we get super quiet at work....

And get yourself a cheap sabre saw for hacking through your manifold bud, plasma on cast alloy, molten splatter-zone!!! lol.
Another tip for those playing with such, get a small slot drill (around 3/16") to run in your dremel for gouging away excess meat, will storm through cast alloy a lot quicker than a Burr ever will.
