Gerb what kind of exhaust is that?

Jimmy , it is an HKS Super Drager II . Not noisy on idle or low rpm but as you accelerate , you will start hearing that nice deep rumble ..

What did you have to do to make it fit. I just brought a supra hks super dragger with 95mm piping. Just trying to see what I have to modify. I know I will have to at least extend it like 6 inches.

The pipe before the Super Drager II muffler bend had been cut and replaced with 4" .. so everything before the actual muffler is 4" . Since this exhaust was in one of my mkiv , I figured instead of actually extending the catback pipe that connects to the midpipe through a vband.. I inserted the extension using Vbands on both end. . In that way the exhaust can still be used also in a MKIV later just by removing the extension. The extension was 10" .

my piping is actually close to 4 inches its a 95mm pipe with a 4 inch v band at the end. I was just trying to figure out where I actually need to put the extension.

yeap the drager II is 95mm .. just a tad smaller than 4" . You might want to insert the extension so in the future ,if you want to change your exhaust you can still sell that exhaust to the supra guys . Am sure you would love the exhaust note coming from that drager II. I just hate the size of the canister being huge but I love the sound it emits.

Gerrb buddy, I believe I ran across a headlight resto here on CL I believe member JWIN had restored his with sanding them down and buffing them out with a plastic polish product. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the heads up buddy. I believe the red mamba need a total exterior makeover. I will slowly work on them when I find the time and check out what Jimmy did.

^^^^ you have a few ways to do it. I have seen some that after you sand all the yellowing off and move up to fine grit you spray it with a poly clear. I just wet sand from 1000 up to 6000 grit and then polish with plastic polish. The poly clear will probably protect the headlight and last longer.

Jimmy - you better tuck that HKS Super Drager II of yours well. Coming from a 30 degree incline to a flat surface, I get the bottom tip of my exhaust canister scraping . I really need the wider / bigger tires installed to get that rear higher off the ground.

jwin

honestly i don't think you have room to tuck the thing without beating on your spare tire opening. the canister is SO big.

gerrb

iTrader: (34)

True .. my only choice right now to get more clearance is to install the 15" wheels with wider tires and bigger side walls.

Today I had some free time and decided to mess around with the fenders that I pulled. Wanted to make them look like stock and take out all those small creases caused by the the pulling and pushing . Applied body filler and will eventually sand them down . I am seriously considering the Mickety Thompson ET Street Radial 28x13.50x15 and I believe with the pull , they will fit without any problem.

Nice work so far, man! I've got a red 1994 SC300, currently in Coweta County, GA and I've got some similar goals as to what you've done so far, just with some Getrag goodness and Turbo in the works

Jerry I was wondering, who is going to paint this car? You have done almost the entire car yourself, why not the paint also? If you have another power antenna lying around I need one. The one I bought from Aliga, broke. I hear the motor but no movement on the antenna, needs a mask.

I cant wait to see this red one complete and take a ride in it. Oh wait a minute, I mean drive it!!!
