Default Project R

After reading the thread about Moding in the middle east I thought I might share some pics of my freinds project car, its not done yet ( HE NEEDS TO CHANGE THAT CRAPPY STEERING WHEEL ) but its far enough to start showing it off and getting some feedback would be apreciated, u have to remember the interior is entirely custom made ( the car has been turned into a left hand drive car :P ) and its still under construction hehe , some highlights I guess are the custom made dash pannel with a 10" touch screen monitor, a custom built computer for the car, custom built camera for those times u want to use MSN while driving :P, complete control of engine managment through the touch screen, Built in Bluetooth ( for internet connection), built in GPS, built in WIFI for those internet hotspots :P ( uni. )........thats all I can think off now but Ill post some pics and a link with a few more pics and details about it

So is the dual outlet in the middle going to be in use? That's pretty slick if it will be. Might get the inside cabin a little hot though.

Tell him to keep moddin'!

If that's functional, and used as its supposed to be used, that should be for fuel.

One goes in, the other one is for fumes to vent out during fueling. They are called female dry breaks. The male dry break receptor are on the hose or the filler tank.

If its functional, then it should look like this inside the trunk.

lol. i think u missed the point of that. i was referring to Stage3 and Kona's previous comments about it possibly being a an exhaust, so "what would happen if u mixed them up" was a comment on what would happen if it really was the exhaust and u tried to fill it with fuel.
