next i took off the downpipe so i could have it mated to that. prepare to see one funky looking but functional downpipe







believe it or not. this can come out easy from the top.

here are the pics of it installed.

no pipe





no more on boost wastegate scowl! but my wastegate opening and closing sound is more noticable. lol

 

ok so at one point in time. i wanted to get the Vertex look. except i didnt have like 3 grand to get the proper kit.

so i went to EBAYYYYYYY!

got this from AIT. the V speed body kit. it was a front bumper and skirt kit. it fit like crap. and i regret buying it.

came in this huge box









moving a long. i tried to see how it looked on the front. since i already had the original 92 bumper off. i'd just slip it on and have a look see.









anyway i sold it. lost money on it. but oh well. u live and learn. someone from this board bought it. they made it look good on their car. but it just wasnt for me. i went 97 oem look. that was expensive to say the least.

 

very nice work. i plan on doing the same on my external WG setup.

 

The only thing that sucks is its very hard to change the wastegate spring without taking a bunch of Crap off. I will post pics. Because I had a 13lb spring in it and i kept hitting factory boost cut so i swapped in a 10 lb spring.

 

Totally subscribed.

I'm down in port st. Lucie. And thanks

 

so i picked up 97 parts!



then side skirts



then rear bumper



then lower door molding



next up. me lowering my car and 19 inch wheels. *picks are out of order. so u might say. where the hell did u get those wheels lol*

 

Nothing like finding some 97 parts in a time of need. I hate the others didnt like right and fit correctly, but the 97 OEM looked way mo better imo. The build is coming along quite nicely. I am also subscribed.

 

Subbed, Great build! Huge transformation from when you first bought it

 

Nice build.. car had come a long way . Keep it up !

 

sound clips of the exhaust on the single? good stuff man.

 

I see a piggy!!! Nice fab work
