Godzilla defence force is back in action!!! Vids!

Alright finished up the exhuast today, I will take more pics tomorrow of how it looks on the car.. but I did get my friend to film it while running at idle and free reving. I was about to build about 1-2 psi of boost just free reving. Only thing missing now is some now is driveshaft.. although I have to drop the tranny tomorrow because my dumb *** forgot to install a throw out bearing.. well at least I think I forgot. hehe Well injoy the pics/vids.
Vids are at the bottom of this page:

Let me know what you guys think.


Edit: Alright added a mirror to the vids, as my home server has limited upload speed. So here is the links to the vids.

Enjoy.

Hmm check the 2nd gen section, first thing.. does it have compression, then does it have spark. then does it have fuel.. if it has spark.. If no compression, engine needs a rebuild. No fuel. check pump and lines, no spark, check plugs, cables, igintion coils. etc.. good luck.

Nice to see that car comming along so well. I wish my Rx2 had the early lights and bumpers. You should get some emergency reds and blues for the top of that thing. That'd be a real crowd pleaser at 7 stock. I hope to see you there in my Rx4 sedan

Nah, man. Get a pair of red gumball lights, like in Dukes of Hazzard. Lights would look like the pimpness.

Already has a S5 T2 5speed on there.. just wanted to use the origanl pedal assembly instead of my riged up one as its not as sterdy as I would like. So if you still have it let me know.

My buddy had his over the rear axle and had problems with the axle smaking into the pipe on hard turns, he then redid it under the axle and has had no problem.. so I decided to go under aswell.

hehe, yea I caught up as soon as they hit traffic... but man when we were getting on the on ramp.. I was thinking I'll hit some boost and catch right up.. caught up to guy infront of me till we started doing 100ish.. steering wheel starting shaking a bit and car was tracking a bit to the road.. so said screw this and didn't try to go any faster.

But all in all it was a nice drive there.. we totally shut the gas station down though.

We did the same thing last year. No one was able to get in @ AM-PM.

And yup, the caravan went crazy as soon as we got to the 55. I was flying away at 4th gear trying to keep up with the turbo cars. And your right, I pegged the speedo at 4th. 5th gear? I dont know how fast I was going.
