sounds good. Do you still drive it every day in that cold weather, or do you put her away?

Haha i hope you guys appreciate my humor, i find myself funny, from time to time.

its FREEZING, and i've yet to really drive the car. The most action its seen was when i revved it to 4,200 in that vid. I drove it around the block twice, but its too loud to drive daily. Next wednesday it goes in for exhaust.

time to go court a female. peace all

happy friday the 16th!! (for no reason whatsoever)

Lol.... WHoooo!! You crack me up.

Lookin' good, you've almost got it together.

One question, what are you using to block off the ACV, or were you just running it open atmosphere?

THe acv is open atmosphere, but the parts that go into the intake have been welded shut.

So, you could blow in it, and it would come out in one of the other holes on it.

As far as the interior, most of its stock. I am in the process of dying it black, (the bottom half of the dash will be done today). The door panel plastic bits are already black.

I like the two tone interior, very swank. Looks like it's coming along fairly well. What kind of fan are you planning on installing?

Freezing ?

Dude you call that freezing ? loll .. it's -40 here and I'm still drivin' my rex, never had the slightest problem starting her up !!! All she needs is a good solid 10 minutes at 3000 RPM and the thing is warm as hell lol.
I thought I had the worst/loudest sounding rex, but you beat me lol :P I got the headers + presilencr with a shot muffler :P Which I'll be changing right after winter for an RB muffler, thus completing my RB exhaust :P nevertheless, I love the video man good Idea !! I'll get one up of my car soon too ! :P You'll see what winter's like in Canada :P 5 minute frostbites and all :P

Hehe.....

My car still has the NA 12a, but with my exhaust setup, it sounds just like your turbo and name brand exhaust setup.

Yay custom stuff!

The_Dude's right, I live in the town next door to him and for the last week or so the temp hovers around -30C, -40C or so. I plan to crucify him in the spring for driving his 7 in the winter, then take his new exhaust from him hehe...

Yeah, and to think that it gets to +40Degrees C in the summer.. Damn I live in the best part of the damn world. Bleeding hot in the summer, Freezing cold in the winter, and nice every other time of year!

IoTus, sorry to Thread-Jack, so I'll just throw my comments in here too:

Forgive if my questions are answered in the audio, 'cause I don't have sound from school, and as most of you know, I am no longer in posession of a working home computer.

1. Smoked glass sunroof, tires and mags... absolutely beautiful all three!

2. I love your steering wheel! What kind is that? (something tells me I've asked this before..)

3. The stereo bracket looks good Is that the one off rotorhead.ca?


******* AWESOME car man. The clear lights, two-tone interior (as someone mentioned) and the unique color (which I noticed in another thread also adorns your springs), not to mention the TII swapped in........ I want your car!

Jon
