Yeah, the RB stuff is a tad pricey for exhaust IMHO. I have some friends in exhaust shops that can do custom mandrel stuff for me, so I generally go custom. I'm also trying to keep the 383 as quiet as possible (no fun it people know it's in there). we're talking about a 425 HP engine, before a 125 shot... so it's not necessarily an easy thing to keep quiet, and I fear the N1s may be a little raspy/tinny on it.

I used a vinyl based black spray, and polished it off, though I've used the testors tinting spray for other things as well. Good stuff, and if I had an airbrush, I'd prolly of used that.

Thanks for the compliments guys, I appreciate it.

[B] wouldn't that start to burn the valves up?

 

Aren't N1s a straight through design? I used to run a cutout on my GTP, never had any valve problems...

Am I missing something about the N1s? I doubt I'll go that way.. I just like how they look. I'll probably put on flowmasters, with non-polished stainless tips, 2.5 or 3", pretty low profile. True duals on the exhaust though.

 

This would be an interesting experiment having N1's mated to a V8, I have no idea what sound may emit from it. Wait, what the Hell am I doing participating in a V8 conversion thread!?! rotary>V8 conversion

 

Blackened out tail lights look sinister as! Nice work, nice car.

 

damn nice fc, one note tho, get an S5 GXL n/a wing....

 

DAMN YOU!
I was going to do the Black tinted lights on my 88 Black GTU! Bleh!

Looks damn sexy though.
Now I definitely have to do it. My friend works at a dealership autobody place so I am going to mix some car paint black with clear coat to achieve the same results.

 

That looks badass.

 

I've already souced one out. When I get my new hood/custom front bumper painted, I'm getting it done too.

 

You mean this thing has a V8 in it? Even more sweet!!

 

WELL-DONE V-8 swaps kick major *** IMO..
After my T2 swap is done, I plan on LT1/T-56 swapping an FC.

 

Neat. I love originality. Nice Futon Factory in the back there too!

 

that looks pretty nice man. it would only look good on a black car so good work.

 

Not yet. I have the V8/tranny ready. Just gathering parts for the swap. I'm a massive perfectionist, so everything has to be perfect or I won't be happy.

It's going to be a TPI L98 based 383 stroker, making about 400 hp without a bottle, and 525 with. It'll have a 700R4 transmission initially, and I'm planning on putting in a T-56 if I can't tolerate the auto (which means I'll be putting in a T-56 ) I'm expecting it to be totally completed by July. The suspension/braking system has to be up to par before I'll make it fast. Does me no good to go fast if I can't turn/stop.

Oh, the motor will have aluminum heads when it's all said and done. I know the weight balance will be a little fubar'd, but with my battery placement (rear bin, pass. side *guess where I got that idea* ) and some weight mods up front, it should be no worse then 52/48 anyway. I better stop the V8 talk though, or Mark will put me in the conversions section.

 

very clean and nice. where did you get that logo? that looks relaly cool.

 

He made them- posted a thread on it a while ago.
