Our new NT Moonie

Had to move the wiper washer bottle towards the guard to get the 76mm pipe through. The power steering bottle needed moving away from the radiator support to take some pressure off the hoses. The radiator overflow also needed adjustment it is just sitting there for now but I'm about to make a bracket to come off the aluminium angle in the pics below.

Whilst I had the air box out I put another support on my home made Provent catch can support bar.

The PPD 3" stainless exhaust went on fairly easy but it was built for the earlier NS - NT models which has different hangers so a few mods were needed from y local exhaust place but all up for under $900 it was a good buy. I bought the one with the muffler not the hot dog and you know its not stock but not much louder and no drone at all.

After both the FMIC and the 3" exhaust it is very different to drive I don't have any figures to compare it to before or after. The seat of the pants feel tells me I have more torque and like someone else wrote the other day it wants to rev to 4000 so much easier than before.
No need to go to manual mode driving up the freeway here in Adelaide as before. Well worth the time, effort and money.
Next mod is new tyres closely followed by the M_&_M Auto Mate.

Thanks Dicko will do, I was going to do the aluminium at the front but totally forgot about the catch can

So I bit the bullet and bought new tyres and rims. Wanted the NITTO Ridge grapplers but after thinking about most of my driving, decided on the Terra grapplers LT 265/70/17. The rims are Monster Bandit (Bob Janes brand, made by PDW) 17x9 with a P25 offset. They bring the tyres out to the guards nicely I think. It was a noticeable height change also from the 65 to 70 profile. So much quieter than the Bridgestone 697 that were on before.

Great work.
