If you like DIY you'll understand why I like JB weld. Modded Starion IC 2.25 pipes jb-welded into the sides of the tank... it seems really strong.

Yea I didn't get pictures in the daylight for some reason. Sorry.

Anyway... I also did some adjsutment to my downpipe.. gotten a lot better w/ my welder. I added about an inch to my ground clearance. No pics of that... just the same downpipe w/ a bit chopped out and rewelded.


Oh also did a lil wire tuck

Check my custom resevoir holder. 10 bucks shipped. Its made of some kind of expanded PVC... i duno... i got a bunch of it here in my mechatronics class @ school... and I can make all kinda of shapes with it. I might be making a custom center console out of it... because it can be shaped easily when placed in boiling water.
