I already have a Magnaflow muffler, and will see what my shop can come up with in the way of downpipe, tail pipe, etc. Planning on a shorter exhaust, exiting the side before rear wheels.

    CV Axles

    I'm replacing my CVs soon, and short of ordering some from Canada or Japan, I'm chasing down a rumor of forgotten origin that our CVs and those of Monteros are interchangeable. I've been scouring Delica.ca for an answer with no luck so far. So: anyone have experience with this?

    Anyone have a bike rack?

    Or any ideas on solutions that might work? I've got Yakima roof bars (with 1A high rise spacers), but not a whole lot of space up there (with a large sky box) plus, I'm not sure I'd have a lot of fun hurling a bike up on my high roof. Considering hitch mount, but of course, that means fabbing...
