Oh and chicks love the comvertable. But its a bitch when everyone wants a ride and you just want to drift. Girls dont like it when the tires spin. ---

I should have a turbo elbow and a 3" down pipe this coming year too. Im thinking of using my exhaust for everyday driving but Im going to build a 3.5" dump pipe off the elbow that comes out right after the front pass side tire. That way should make me feel like my stock turbo is large! 😃 ---

Hope you have a bigger turbo for that intake manifold. I hear you loose big power with that intake and no turbo. ---

[quote=“jdms13rhd”]Im in the middle of some more work. Here is some progress for this winter. I need a bigger garage. Did you take off the weatherstrip at the cowl when you raised the hood. What exhaust is that? What kind/ brand welder are you using? ---

Ya my dad built a new house last summer and he has a little garage set up for it and I was like I will build it if you make it bigger so now I have a awsosme shop to work in. Much better than the last one. Ya I took the weather stripping off when I painted the car last year. Little better flow that way. After you do it you can actually see the hot heat waves pour out of the cowl at an intersection when you have a little breeze. Made the temp go down about 5 degree. The exhaust is custom. Just heavy ass galvonize steel. Nothing too great. Its just 3" all the way back with a 2 foot res in the middle flipped so it just spined the exhaust and doesnt go through the glass. Sounds awsome and it still quiet. I didnt have money for a muffler anyways. Welder is the DECA 180E from P-auto. Works much better after you go with a .035 wire and get the right die and run wioth gas. Had some problems when I frist got it but I got it figures out about 10:30 last night so I had to have a weld session. Had to stop though cuz my eyes started to hurt :rolleyes: ---
