Strict budget, slow restoration. *Now with moar budget*

Mannnn you sound just like me:



Even Google Maps caught me pulling the trans out of my old Camaro. I've done every other engine/trans swap where that white pickup is at. Even painted two cars there. My parents banned me from using the garage after I inconvenienced them by not being able to finish something in one night. My neighbors would constantly call the cops or whoever puts those damn orange tow-away stickers. They like to think they live in a HOA neighborhood.

Now I share a shop with my friends, spoiled with air conditioning and not having to make tool runs to Walmart at 3am.

Props man, props.

Just read through your thread, great attitude bro. You need to have sense of humor and tremendous patience to survive through this. Like many have said before this is an inspiration, but i much prefer watching you as i have neither the know how nor tools to pull this off.

Cheers

Wh33lhop, when you graduate college, and start the career, instead of a resume you should link any prospective employer to this thread. You are a fucking madman.

What the fuck did you do for exhaust?

[Wh33lhop]

I bent over and closed my eyes.

I had the stock M20 downpipes adapted to the OBD2 manifolds. Still thinking of fire bombing the place that did it.

For an S50, you may want to go a different route. Lots of guys just get a single 2.5" fabbed. I kind of like the stock dual exhaust despite the intrinsic disadvantages.

Yeah, cost is a factor as well for me however.

Well, I got fucked ($300). But if you take it to a reasonable shop not owned and operated by captain shitbird, you can probably get it adapted for $100 or so. However, I'd be a little weary that the M20 exhaust is a bit restrictive for an S50, so if I were you I'd make it a temporary solution.

Alternately I've heard of full 2.5" exhausts including cats being fabbed for under $300 (ask Taylor/E30 Fiend), but they can get a bit raspy.

I'm gonna stop using the phrase "Do work, son." Instead I shall replace it everytime with "Wheel HOP, SON!"

[Wh33lhop]

..New sig. ;)



Hmmm.

[Danny]

When I come down south next, we're kickin it Nate.

[dnova89]

[Wh33lhop]

Word. Let me know, we'll make it happen.



These are works of art.

Sooo... I didn't bring my damn camera, I had to use my (horrible) phone camera.











Mad rake yo!

Not super mad stanced yo, but it was more about the proper suspension than the stance. I've got M3 endlink tabs now, but no endlinks long enough to reach them yet.

Here's the final height after I revised the front height. Hella flush stance down and out poke and stretch OMFG!1
