Well...here I am, on a Friday night, the weekend before finals week, procrastinating. I figured I'd post some recent pictures.
Not much has changed, I got an exhaust put on. Consists of a Magnaflow Muffler (14815) with stainless muffler and tips. Had a friend of a friend do the piping work when I was home over christmas. Comes off the head with some custom made shorties I bought on r3v for like $100 (thanks EtaSport! :)). From there, I had him do dual 2" down to a y-adapter, where it went down to a single 2.5" pipe. Then, I had him weld in flanges so I could have one of two center sections underneath my car. A) straight pipe OR B) High flow Catco Cat and Magnaflow 18" resonator. Then it goes back to the muffler. It's LOOOW. I scrape a lot, and have to entirely avoid speed bumps now. Not sure if any of my pics show how low it is...meh.
However, it sounds incredibly sweet. Straight piped, the exhaust sounded SO FUCKING MEAN. I could rev my engine at a light, and everyone would look at my terrified. With the cat and resonator, it's definitely not as raspy, and doesn't drone (oh god....does it drone when straight piped!) - but still manages to sound very very sweet. It's got an amazing growl to it. Needless to say, I'll get my videos up eventually, just don't wanna mess with that yet. In some of the pics, the muffler is misaligned. I had to have it mounted better - to keep it from moving. It's a lot better now, but still not absolutely perfect. Oh well. lol
In all honesty...that's all that's changed with the car. Roof's beginning to fade pretty bad. I busted my lip over christmas break, went head first into a dip, and saw it comin but too late. Put it back together, but you can see where it was mended in some pics.
School has kept me quite busy, and I'll be heading to Indio, CA this summer for a coop with Granite Construction. I'm really glad the motor is good for go for a while! :)
Recently hit up a driving school in Hastings, NE as well...some pics of that below.
Anyway...on to the pictures! Enjoy...and leave comments if you'd like.
Covered...but my snows drive thru anything, as long as I don't high center on snow! lol
Yep...anything
What can I say...I was happy as can be playin in the snow! Look at my lip getting up close and personal to the snow!! LOL
I had a little snow built up after my night of fun...on our way back to school, I got pulled over. Guess I had too much snow covering my plate??! HAHAAA
Studded tires love pavement...those are from me, and remain in the same spot to this day! HAHAAA
**my current desktop...:) (why it's widescreen) ^^
Random pictures I took in the black hills
Looking at this pic, you can see my nice shiny new muffler. :)
Under-car look of the exhaust. Flanges are rusting, but for the most part, it's holding up good.
Me teching my car before the HPDE...this was my work spot. Did oil, put front lip back on (had to come off to get car on exhaust rack) and checked things over. I got some awesome looks!
Pictures taken down the road from Motorsports Park Hastings
Picture taken in Hastings, NE when I washed my car at the track the Friday instructors were driving.
In between heats...notice my nice brakedust covered RZs...:) Oh...and the mending spot on my lip...lol
Hittin the track!
My favorite turns! 11 and 12 at MPH!
Oopsie...is that a pointby?!
The owner of Motorsports Park Hastings had this sweet bus - removed all the chairs, and put in couches, and matresses - I was in the bus with around 40 other people - and we did about 4-5 laps on the track - WE HIT 50 ON THE STRAIGHT (maxed out the bus). He has the muffler coming out right behind the entrance door and up the side. He's got an amazing sense of humor...it was awesome! hahaa
Well...there ya have it. say what you want...just thought I'd share! :)
