Some drift spares! 18x11 & 18x13". Got rid of the lime green..





Cleaned them up a little. 13" DO not fit lol! got to re-lip them on a later date.

Wow that sounds insane! Did you have the Oval piping installed already or was that straight from the header outlet? That thing looks like way too much fun. If it's working out for you then get it man! I just wanted to toss in my .02 cents. Ceramic coating will do it a huge justice as well as decimating any chance of an exhaust wrap fire.

I did not have the oval on it yet, but yeaah it's pretty crazy. I need to get a chance to get the rest fabricated so it exits the rear. WAY to loud in the car.

Here's a sounds clip of the oval.

How are you planning on keeping the water pump, intake piping, belt and other belt accessories from heat-soaking like crazy though? I love the idea but I feel like you're going to need a serious heat shield.

it has not been a problem. Intake is wrapped too, it was a older picture i'd post earlier. As i am relying a lot on the on-coming air coming into the engine bay to cool everything while i'm driving. It seems to be working.

It indeed gets warm, but i'm not getting anything warm enough to damage anything on the front of the engine. I do have plan to get the header ceramic coated. The only part i'm created a heat shield is my alternator.

Little dyno action from last year.

God damn that collector is insane! Beautiful, but I feel like every single component on the front of the bay would get very hot....

Seriously post a sound clip the second you can, I'm betting this will turn into trend.

Great build. I like where this is headed

[burnzyben]

holy shit this is amazing

Woah its been awhile yeh?!?! Guess it's due for a update. IT does run and drive. Dyno'ed ect. It have some new wheels on the way too.

So, from all the down time I had waiting. I had the chance to work with Stainless Headers. They offered everything I needed to get my header project. I'm not even sure if I mentioned before to anyone that I was planned on running a 8-1 header on my car. But, yes. I did decide to go on with this crazy idea.

This was my "first" real fabrication project.









Stainless Headers also got me some 3" to 4" oval exhaust material.

Stiffened up the chassis a little.









My dude Josh that built the cage!







Little paint to hide the shitty welds. LOL

Brakes/Brake booster kit... I'm thinking about knocking this out next.



Annd, my rear rotors were wrong the entire time. Did switch them out for the correct z32 rotors. Calipers fit now. I'm cool now right?
