Hi focks, Just to let you know that my Davrian will be on the road by MAY this year.What a statment,
the car has come on in leaps and bounds lately, a new silencer by MANIFOLW what quality and not to expensive
seeing thay had the car all day and garranteed for it for life. I will get my son to help me put some pics off
the car in its present state. Nice to see Davrians are being rebuilt what a great car , this mk6a is my
third and probabley my last seeing it has taken so long to build.
Davrian 6140.

Re: davrian exhaust
On the subject of exhausts....I seem to remember that Ian Carter worked out the exact length from end of exhaust manifold to outlet for a tuned Imp engine, to give maximum power.
I THINK it was 42".
I may be wrong on this, but whatever it was, I had a stainless crossover unit built to the Carter spec back in 2001 for racing, with a re-packable silencer.
It sounds lovely, with a Janspeed manifold and the 40 DCOEs gobbling away!

Re: davrian exhaust
Hi Neil. Just in case you don't have any luck with the exhaust, I can thoroughly recommend Zero exhausts near Ashford in Kent. He did mine and I must say he did an excellent job. As a bonus he does specialise in the older type of vehicle. Just say I recommended him and Check his website. There are no pictures of my car, but virtually every page has a photo of my exhaust. Hope this helps. Gary.
Re: davrian exhaust
Come on Gary we need pictures of the car now. There must have been major progress if you have an exhaust!
Re: davrian exhaust
Iain, not too much to show since you last saw the car. The exhaust was already on it when you had a look a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, a few personal interruptions have hindered the progress.

Re: davrian exhaust
Thanks for the info guys. Have had my existing manifold blasted and I think it will be repairable. In the meantime, I'll start saving up for a new one!
