Very nice!! May need to pay you visit soon and check it out in person!
What arb is it from?

 

[T P Dubs]

18MM bar of the back of a Frontera (modified of course) ends cut off and spun round the other way and a section welded in the middle to make up the legnth

Ill get some paint, tidy the welds, and give it all a spray to match my shocks and springs next weekend, but for now, clear lacquer will have to do for protection

What's the handling like with the rear arb on

 

[T P Dubs]

Its like a whole new car ( a much better one )
i new it would make it better but i didnt think it would be that much better, cant say what it would would be like with a front roll bar as i run without one
but im going to put it back on soon to see what its like
ill report back when ive tried it

Now to try and fit an exhaust around it . . .

Out of the middle if there's no clear path down the offside? (A fair few of the Polski Centos on You Tube, for example.)

 

[T P Dubs]

If i do that ill have a massive hole left in the side of my bumper theres plenty of room, its just finding a box small enough and the right angled bends
my exhausts already made out of 10 different bits of pipe without including whatever happens about the rear section lol

Magnex back box maybe?

 

[T P Dubs]

Its ok, i found a BMW Mini center silencer in the scrap pile out back to weld on

 

[fingers99]

It'd be interesting to hear what it's like at anything like the limit. I'd imagine it might turn lift off oversteer into "enter hedge backwards" territory!

And Devon hedges

Its not actually that bad, yeah theres a bit, but i havent had anything thats made me poo myself yet
When i get the front roll bar back on (eventually) it should get rid of a bit
