Turn your volume up, not much to see in this video

Why do you have two threads in the project subforum if you update them with the exact same stuff?

this is so badass.

I've driven it a few times, no issues :)

Nice job on the exhaust ... be sure to set the car onto the wheels to check front stabilizer bar clearance to the pipes ... the bar moves "up" as the suspension levels out on the tires.

Nope steering shaft and engine block

So you ran your exhaust between the steering shaft and the D/S rail?

Good idea on the steering/exhaust clearance.

Patch welded in

So last few weeks since I got the car back from paint, I've but everything back on except the door trim. The car has been sitting on jack stands, taking my time ironing out the kinks.
First was the driveshaft flange tapping the top of the subframe over 4k rpm. Dropped the driveshaft and filed the edge of the flange just a little, problem solved.
Second, passenger side downpipe was leaking at the 3 bolt flange, installed new smaller bolts so I can actually get a socket around them, no more exhaust leak!
Third, and what I've been putting off most is the drivers side downpipe hitting the steering shaft on right turns, locking up the steering wheel.

My roommate had the day off work and decided to start cutting it up to notch it, and he made the patch too. Welding tomorrow and reinstalling.


Lastly, I have a power steering leak that needs to be addressed, other than that I still haven't finished putting the wiring in loom for the standalone fuse/relay center and that's it!
