update:
I found some rust on the floor. no holes but I got a do something soon

I have installed my jones exhaust that is 6 lbs lighter and much smaller and a bit louder.

i have made a new rear belly pan to match the smaller exhaust

i have found about 3$ cleaning my car and a 5¢ at a strange place

i have done general maintenance

and i have installed new clutch and flywheel

i am still in the break-in period but the only negative point is that bump starting a low speed is harder. now for the positive: more power

possibly smother bump start at >20mph if i get used to it. faster shut down. better mpg but i can not tell any numbers in the break-in period. idle is the same but the peak rev when starting is higher
