jotary20b 12-14-06 03:54 PM

its a rps "dumpy" style muffler -is a good look for the old skool rotarys

John64 12-14-06 04:03 PM

Very nice, how hard was it to get that dash in?

jotary20b 12-14-06 04:07 PM

um yeah was very hard definatly not made to go in but i wanted sumthing new so out came jigsaw and alot of measuring haha -plus didnt help i had the roll cage in it aswell

dbragg 12-14-06 04:18 PM

i love the interior change. i love that muffler as well. do you have a website where i can get more info on the muffler?

also, why did you build boxes for your 6x9 speakers? im hoping to finish installing mine this weekend. i trimmed the rear metal a little and a buddy and i are making spacers and cutting the interior panels tomorrow. should work/look good.

Wow, that is a nice looking car. That purple is really glossy. Has a nice wet look to it. Love the motor. Excellent work, have any more pictures?

Markusr2001 12-14-06 05:39 PM

Those look like 15 x 7 wheels. What kind of tire size do you have?
Thanks.

That RX is pretty mean looking. Nice job.

FirebirdSlayer666 12-14-06 06:04 PM

Looks great. Now you need a set of my lights to finish things off ;)

The hole is probably from the lock.

It looks like you've been spending a lot of time on the car. Are you going to be keeping the top mount intercooler, or just go with a front mount?

Its definitely a hot car, and though the color isn't something I would have chosen myself, it is a good color as well. Looks, from the pictures, to be a well done car with a bit of work left on the interior (with the wires out and about, along with the emergency brake lever missing.)

dayton 12-14-06 07:21 PM

what type of wheels are those??? like the car over all... esp. the swaped motor..

blwfly 12-14-06 07:24 PM

:beerchug: Awesome job mate ! keep us posted with updates.

I'm sorry but that muffler is hideous. You would have been way better off with a racing beat FD muffler if that's possible.

Better in what way? By spending more money for something that's of no benefit?

Dump tips on rotors are mandatory BTW. :D

Could you possibly post up some pics of your seat mounts for the FD seats? I need a good iea on how to bracket my FD seats into my FC. I have GSL-SE seats in my FC right now, yeah i know silly, but they're direct bolt-in between FB and FC, therefore, however you mounted the seats will also work for me.
