      Where do you have the exhaust routed?

      Honestly I built it just to have a place to sit and listen to Hotline Bling on repeat.

          If we imagined for a second that I had an exhaust to route...

              Most people are. It's fine as long as you run a quality fpr with a return line. That's where I was an idiot before, I ran an Fpr with no return line so it eventually failed.

                So a few minor things.


                Started redoing/ cleaning up/ de-ratchitizing the interior wiring for the fan, ignition/ starter, interior lights and fog lights.











                The next day I decided to rewire up my Hellas, start experimenting with ways to tuck wires and installing another set of fogs. Because rallycar. When summer comes I will be using a universal fusebox and creating my own wiring harness, as I have about 30lbs of wiring that currently has no function.

                So I took my car apart in my college parking lot. On a visitation day :)













                It rained, so I went sliding.










                I <3 low oil pans(not).










                I'll have some large updates and video come friday. Until then enjoy some random pictures of my car.

                    And some videos. Sorry for Photobucket's absolutely terrible quality... It's almost embarrassing.








                    And the dyno sheet:








                    Lastly I want to give a big shout out to OSTDyno in the Pittsburgh area. They tuned the car quickly and so well, it feels completely different and 10x better. Even fed me! Haha. But seriously, check them out if you ever need dyno or email tunes, they're the real deal. Just check out the Testimonial and Customer Cars section on their website!

                        Switch the respective specs and you've got it right :) Love having more torque than power.


                        Stock heads and headers are really holding me back...
