Haha, I thought the same thing. <-- Exactly



Looks REALLY clean, man that thing is crushed. More info on the fittings for the VC (i.e. NPT size, where you got the bend and the nut to screw on it.)


Overall, it loos really good man, nice work.

The pics of the car were taken after i completed the suspension install and i put the Ksports as low as they would go.It was not driveable in that pic it scraped everything and has since been raised 1.5".I was thinking of spacers i have some 205/60/13's coming as the stock firestones are not holding up well to the Holset and i would like them out a little more.I might do some ARP wheelstuds and spacers.

It doesnt sound bad the muffler is a Apex or something knock off it is loud but not unbearable the Vibrant flat black mufflers have a stealth look and quiet rumble that is more my style as the looks is the reason for ditching the muffler that it comes with.I bought it from I think this guy on ebay http://stores.ebay.ca/Speed-Racer-Pe...QQftidZ2QQtZkm

I have some 1.75" SS bends and a flex here to build a wastegate dump recirculated into the downpipe and some other odds and ends to do but its up and running for now.I need some bigger slicks though my 22's are not tall enough and i have to shift into 5th which is really killing the party I need some 24.5's asap and i have some Skunk 900lb rear springs i need to mount on shocks for at the track the 1.9 sixty is not cutting it but it was first time running in a couple years so that is my excuse. :P

I used MR gasket shadow series fittings in the pushlock so they are barbed style and use the cheap regular hose not baller SS line.I took the fittings out of the back of the block and drilled them out 5/8 then welded on two aeroquip steel -12 bungs,the valve cover got two mr gasket -12 alum weld bungs i picked a spot and drilled the valve cover then from there you need a can with 4 -12 fittings and grab some hose and fittings to work with your hose routing.I bought a dry sump oil can off ebay and we cut it down a bit as it was huge and it holds roughly a litre maybe two more then enough.It is overkill for a stock motor but i didnt want to do it once then do it all gain bigger for a built motor etc.
