A couple new pics of my 5 yr project

It's getting closer finally. We've had a little free time lately and decided to bust my car out and get it on the track.

My new SS 4" exhaust.....notice how i notched the diff brace. I thought it was pretty cool.....

Damn. Very nice. That exhaust is going to cause eardrums to bleed . I also like the rear brakes, there looks to be zero space between the rotor and the rim!

Thanks! and yes there is VERY little clearance between the brakes and the wheels. I hope the exhaust does exactly what you say! That'll at least mean it's running.

Why yes it is!! Good eye! We've got jigs built so yes it could be duplicated. Mine is solid mounted cause of the motor and tranny being solid as well. It's also 2 piece with v-band clamps at the turbo and right before the rearend. I would do others in standard config probably......downpipe/mid/rear.

1 million dollars!!! Had to do it. The front and rear brakes i bought as a set for $1200 i think. Fronts took a little fab work but nothing too severe. The rears were a complete and total pain in the ***. They came out looking pretty good though so i'm happy.

15x3.5" Bogarts with 26x4.5x15 M/T

Thanks for the compliment! It's already came quite a ways since those pics. I'm just waiting to post the new pics up. I want the car to be completely finished before it gets seen again. I can say that it's got alot of new goodies and things are looking pretty damn good IMO.

That exhaust looks great! How much without the muffler and silencer? I have my own to weld in.

Silencer? It doesn't have one. I'll get back with you in the next couple of days. We've got a bunch of stuff going on with the Supra meet coming to town. If you don't hear back then please message me.

And thanks!
