mufflers got here today, they are stainless steel packed and 60nzd each. this will be my exhaust set up two 2inch pipes from block to the around the diff with 2 mufflers (one in each pipe) then into one 3inch pipe to the varex rear muffler to control the volume. i may have to get a different tip welded on to hide the butterfly valve in the muffler as the are illegal here lol i know not the best but its what i can afford and the 2inch extractors where free so thats why im staying with the 2inch for now any way here are some pics






and ill just through this out there, test fit so see what the filter/itb's look like on engine bay thats all for this week chaps

 

looking good man. my exhaust will be similar but not the same mufflers. im using the ceramic packed ones from nz. i forget the name of them but they flow great and are commonly used to quiet pp/bp rotaries but still make power. i like how you used a flange for your pp instead of the usual set up. im not sure about those filters, i wonder how well they flow? keep up the good work and cannot wait to see a vid of this beast running!

 

dude it looks like your almost there. whats left to do engine wize?

 

Did I see spiderwebs in the engine bay? :-P

 

motor looks great

 

hey bro yup i know the ones you are talking about the are about double the price i paid but from what i hear they are well wreath it, i just cant afford it lol plus im sick of waiting hahaha, i wasn't sure about the filters as well but they are run on heaps of speedway cars over here so i figured what the hell i have some ducting im going to install soon to get some air up there considering there is stuff all room.

yeah bro really close now just little things like the throttle cable needs to be sized up i need to get all new fluids exhaust built and haltech wire up but you know what its like small things will pop up so im not rushing it

haha yeah bro my bad its been a while since i worked in there witch reminds me i really should give the engine a oil and turn over its been a few months lol

thanks! it was super cheap

yeah bro hahahaha

 

This build is rad! Forget spending a fortune, this is all you need. I wanna hear some clutch kicks pretty soon

 

cheers man, dont get me wrong i have spent about 20k on this over about 3 to 4 years its about 15k usd lol i have had about five sets of wheels that i all changed my mind in the end body kits, at one stage i was collecting parts to do a 20b swap another time i was going to turbo it lol spent far to much so im cutting costs now to get it going

 

its all good...car looks sick...at least you can "drive" yours...Mine is still on stands and will be for months to come...:-P

Maybe you should relax on spending until you have a plan of what you really want to do??

I know for me I make lists of what I want to get...what I need to get.... and double check my wants/needs before I start throwing money out there....this way i can not have as much "wasted money" and "wasted parts" laying around....

 

yip every thing is set in stone now and finally coming to finishing stages cant wait to get it up to "aerosev" place for exhaust and haltech instal

 

That look's all good man ! She's gona scream with that inlet haha.

 

I want to see a video of it running when you get it running!

 

Mad props for you cutting up the T2 skirts to fit s4 moldings! Can't wait to see her done.

 

hope so haha

for sure bro you know this

cheers bro please some one likes it, i dont like s5 **** lol

 

Side skirt butchery aside, why did you decide to paint it before rolling the fenders?
