Im not bashing people with autism, im saying that these people cant read and are dumb lol.

So, you must be talking to autistic people, because they can't read and are dumb.


I got it... oh and at your request....Image


I pray that my nephew doesn't have to deal with people like you in school when he grows up.

Let me know when you decide you want it unlocked....

WHAT YOU GUYS MISSED:


My new GIANT fuse lol.
Image

2awg audiopipe wire vs knukonceptz 0awg
Image

Stickers adding up :)
Image

This is currently what the trunk looks like. its all soldered and run to the front. The sensor wiring is also soldered on.
Image

Tomorrow after work, i plan on cutting this mount up and making it just have the box part instead of the whole useless bracket. I also believe that by doing that, i will weaken the mount. So im going to be doing some cutting and welding tomorrow to strengthen it up after i cut it. I also am welding a small bracket to the old battery mount, where you currently see the paint marker marks. It will come straight up off the mount, and mount pretty much like it looks in the picture.

Image

Narca Saw Fresh air for the first time in a month :D

Image
Image
Image

Battery relocated :)
Image

Still need to figure out how to run this damn wire to the fuse box so it doesnt look like this:

Image
Image


Next up is to pc everything with my new powder coater i just bought :)

got my new exhaust on :)

Image

tips stuck out too far and were too big:
Image

old 2.5 vs 3"
Image

HUGE resonator
Image

Done:
Image

Idle soundclip :
Image

If anybody wants this exhaust, 75$ takes it. (2.5" stainless)
Image
Image

heres a better sound clip and a daytime shot of the exhaust.

Image
Image

replaced the zip ties with high strength metal ties:
Image
Image

Interior shot:
Image

Tucked the brake booster line, and removed the big ugly bracket on the head.
Image
Image
Image

Yesterday when i got off work it was like christmas on my door step :)

k&n filter with 3.5" opening, and a treadstone 45 degree reducer ( 3" to 2.5")
Image
Image

t bolt clamp for coupler
Image

2.4lbs of powder! One of them is superdurable black which is supposed to be stronger than regular powdercoat, and the other is black bronze which is supposed to look rediculous because you can see different colors in different types of light. :D
Image

My new powdercoating system
Image

Also got my christmas present early, its a set of drag dr-44's
Image

Here's my list of stuff to do before carlisle.
Image


As usual, thanks for looking

Guess you never watched my video...

PowderbythePound is a hit and miss type of deal..sometimes it'll be okay, most times it sucks.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGzPY01Qv9I


In this video is the powder by the pound stuff.. a customer wanted cheaper pricing so he brought us his own powder. Needless to say his wheels were flaking the first day.

Im just looking for something thats a little stronger than paint. When i work on my car, i have the tendency of laying tools on my intake manifold and such. Thats why its always scratched lol.

Maybe you'll get lucky but if it's anything like the powder by the pound in the video... my finger nail could scratch it and flake off a ton of powder with EASE.

Yea man, that exhaust ONLY looks good on the srt rear end. On the other hand, pretty much everyone has told me they love the sound of it. Not too much of a resonator fan, but the way that exhaust purrs it all works together.

Everything else looks nice. Interior is an odd compromise of race and street, but looks comfortable, unlike my tin can interior.

But all that really matters = turbo. :thumbup:

Yea, the exhaust is super quiet when cruising, waaaaaay too quiet for me when I first got it. When you hit it, it does liven up a bit, though. Probably not with the turbo on there, but on my car at full throttle it purrs, think Subaru purr. + The Iceman doesn't hurt the purr effect.


Has the exhaust ever screamed for you? If it did, you'd know what I was talking about. A guy in the local ECN here has the exhaust on his turbo and sometimes it makes this super loud gargoyle-like-demon-spawn-hideously-awesome scream, and sometimes it doesn't. I also saw a youtube vid a while ago where someone put this exhaust on an SRT and they were like "What the fuck?! Oh my god that's so loud! What the hell is that!?" Basically, it's a pretty awesome/scary sound and I wish mine did it :lol:



Keep it up, man. :thumbup:

My silverstones have PowderBuyThePound powder on them... they won't be getting tires put on till spring, and then not installed till after that, but it looks to be legit quality. Paid about ~$300 for powder and for the work to be done to 4 wheels.

I didnt really like the look of that after i looked at it more. I ended up just getting a radio delete and mounting the gauges in that, and then relocating the radio

tell him to make me a bracket so i can use the t-850 half shaft on my 420a.. It looks simple to make, and im sure i can make it myself out of angle or something, but i doubt that would hold up to 450wheel..
