    e30TheProject coming to a close

    Or is it? :twisted:

    All the mechanical and most of the electrical should be finished tomorrow. Enough that I *should* be taking the car off the jack stands tommorow, and starting it up.

    Afterwhich I plan to take it for a short drive to see how everthing feels, however I should keep it short as the car isn't exactly registered nor does it have tags 8)

    Anyways.. yup yup... I'm happy.

                    Hehe, making a stealth run with no muffler... Not very stealth, but fun nonetheless. :twisted:

                      Haha, yes, good point. I have straight pipes out of the cat (stock pipes cut off at the old muffler)

                      I will try for a video, but I cant promise anything. I will definety get a audio recording of the Brullen on my car for everyone

                          Video with the straight pipes would pwn. I would rather have an audio clip with striaght pipes rather than a Brullen muffler :P

                            My digital camera does MPG video capture, but no sound capture.

                            My laptop works great for capturing sound, I can clip a mic onto the exhuast or apron or something, put the laptop in the trunk, and dangle the cord out.

                              I like to uncap my muffler at the cat for a day and drive around revving at people. I do it once month to keep the hondas at bay.
