The belt has been squeaking ever since we bought the car, thanks to the SMT kit provided for the engine conversion. The mount for the generator wasn't aligned properly and our previous attempts to solve this has not made it any better...
So I borrowed a laser guideline, as it is almost impossible to measure anything in the engine compartment.

Took 2mm of the mount at what a wonderful sound of nothing :-) Before it sounded almost as an old Tiger Panzer on pavement!
Changed the two pulley wheels as the bearings seemed worn.

With not much time left before our maiden voyage we had to make a temporary exhaust. It sounded good without to much noise, but it was ugly as hell! Furthermore it was mounted to low, so it got ripped out of the mounts when offroading...
The stainless "Simons" muffler sounded good so i used this and rerouted the 2,5" tubes, ending out in a 3" i had from an old '68 Camaro i had years ago.

Now its tugged away nicely and sounds even better

Strangely it seems a bit louder now, but i have to meassure the dB's to confirm that.


Now it just needs some high-temp, flat black paint.

First we wanted to make a new hatch of plexiglas but finally agreed that we really didn't need to look up...
So instead i bought some aluminium profiles, cut them to fit, painted them black and glued them on the hatch with silicone.

Nice and simple :-)
