This has been bugging the hell out of me since I bought this car, but I didn’t fix it til now cause I knew a turbo upgrade was in the cards and I’d need new piping anyway.
This is part of the hotpipe they made. 2" pipe going into 2-1/2". Except instead of a nice transition, they jammed the smaller pipe 6" into the larger pipe, gobbed a bunch of weld to fill the gap, and ground it “smooth”. As any retard could figure out, this isn’t the best for airflow.
they probably used jb weld for it!
fuck sumaru’s 
that place is sucha joke… yet people continue to bring their vehicles there… :roll:
omega is the way to go@
^^ yes i was talking to rob and saw your car in the shop… engine is out
is this omega place in edmonton?? i have not heard much of it … anyone with actual experiences there yet?
yeah Project Omega is in edmonton on the west end, very close to Mopac. I have never had anything done personally there, but Rob is a great guy who doesn’t screw people over. He just loves to work on cars and knows a hell of a lot. I would recommend them to anyone.
My car was at Omega for a good period of time. Rob’s great. Amazing mechanic to boot. I pseudo-worked with him for a period of time.
780-628-4617
175th street and 105th ave.
this is what I keep hearing and have some friends who always say good things
Why wouldn’t they just buy a reducer… I can get them for $5-10…
they just made $5 … somehow I dont think it was worth it at this point
oh thats Ugly. who did they think they where fooling with that?
Anyone who knows about forced induction knows he want s a smooth path for the air to travel. Anyone looking at that shoudl laugh!
That is case in point why no car of mine will end up at sumaru’s.
Nice guys some of there owrk is a bit shady
Agreed sumarus has done some weak stuff, give Omega a try they are the new force to be reconed with, plus you gotta check out Paul’s car (he works there). Id have to say it is for sure the nicest exterior s13 in the city hands down.
I wonder what you will find if you pop open the engine. :E
Luckily the engine runs like a champ, so I don’t think they cracked her open. LOL
Man, Sumaru’s is where I had my Tein springs installed, guess I’m lucky I didn’t ask them to build anything for me! It is where I first found out about NECC tho…a sticker on the white Skyline slowly sinking into the dirt in front of their shop - is it still there?
haha sure is. anyone know whats wrong with it? I had a look at it when my car was there and the body is mint
i wonder whats scott is really thinking about this, probably the same thing i am :E
shhhh!! :lol:
