Its gonna go behind the passenger seat in the foot well. http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...v/DSC01988.jpg Tomorrow I plan on rapping SS header and fitting it along with fitting an Apexi 3" exhaust system to replace the smaller restrictive one.

Trav P.S What Uni course you doing?? Teaching IS a pain on the ass tbh, but thats not all I do, I'm still heavily involved with my old precision engineering job and get quite a few homers doing that which gets me the extra readies for my toys :cool: |
How the feck can u afford a GTR on a teachers salary? :) Assume you are the head at least then?

Didn't get much done today really.
Took out the fog lights Took out the A/C Took of that small exhaust system Took the Apexi exhaust system of the 4 door WRX STI (which I am now breaking) Need to make some mods to the Apexi downpipe for a lamda probe though....Have a look at the difference in size between the 2. The Apexi one should free up some more horses. http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...v/DSC01993.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...v/DSC01994.jpg Tomorrow, I will probably wrap up my equal length headers and fit them. Also under seal each of the arches. Trav |

:lol1: Yeah, it'll be similar to the ones on ebay cause thats where I copied the design from. Made it on Thursday at work (high school) cause there wasn't many pupils kicking around with it being the last day and all.:norty:

Suppose teaching can be a nightmare considering the youth of now days :cuckoo: when I was a young'un :lol1: (think I'm starting to get old) |

Light weight crank pulley. Not ever gonna need the air con drive section ............. So I just turned it of to make it even lighter:D
http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...v/DSC02007.jpg The finished article, sweet eh?? http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...v/DSC02008.jpg Next on the agenda tomorrow, welding lamda threaded bush to the snake head down pipe, exhaust wrapping it and the headers/up pipe and making alloy mounts for my Corbeau Pro race seat to attach onto the original subframe:Suspiciou Think all this will happen in one day??:cuckoo: Lets see................ Trav |
yeah, get an early start on it ;)
|
Id love to get to learn how to use a lathe and make stuff like that... top job there Trav
|
LOL!! Cheers Jamz!! mInd you, if my pupils can use these then anyone can, easy!!:thumb:
Ported and smoothed out the downpipe to get rid of some nasty steps that would hinder air flow and that. Ma mate Graeme in all fairness started it of and done the majority of work to it the other day and I just added a few finishing touches today. Cheers Graeme!!! http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...v/DSC02011.jpg Got a bit of welding to the down pipe done today and wrapped the exhaust up pipe and then ran out of wrap for the manifold/header so couldn't finish that:cry: http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...v/DSC02009.jpg As for the mounts for the seats, got them cut to size but didn't have time to drill the mount holes for the sub frame and seat fixing points.........:razz: Wont be doing any work to the scoob for the next few days now as I will be fitting new PVC cladding, soffits and eves etc etc....... to my house due to the wooden original stuff now rotting and falling of:( |
taking shape nicely mate nice gtr too!
|
LOL I'm sure it will be easy when you've learned how to use it, but ive never used one before in my life.... might invest in one some day... along with a mig welder
|
About bloody time!!!!
Your welcome:p was wondering how long you were going to tell the good people on here that you hadn't had any help!!;)
Same again this Saturday? Hopefully it should be sorted for Knockhill:thumb: |
Lol!! Sorry wee man!! How could I forget about mentioning you!!??
Knockhill this coming Thursday aint gonna happen at this rate....... the roof of my house is needing a lot more work than initially anticipated, so all my time is gonna be taken up with that for the next week:cry:!! Wha!!:cry: Will be takin Dunky's 16v Corsa up though!!! That'll be better nothing....:norty: Trav |
Well a month down the line........ not much to report on other than my house took f**king ages to do and it also ran away will all the type R funds:cry:
