So I've got the extractors to come down and under the K frame and I know where the mufflers and X pipe are going so now it's just a matter of piecing up the middle.

Nicely done on the header extensions.

Been contemplating a sbf swap too.

Bit more of the exhaust done last night.

It's looking seriously low!!! Won't know for sure until i put it on the ground with 17's.

i'm in. cool build.

It's been awhile, went on a holiday so things have been moving slowly.

So I first tried to run a split system and had it all tacked up but then when lowering the car it was just way to low. So i took a different approach so that the exhaust would be more tucked up. I decided to follow the stock exhaust route however still keep it a twin system. Here is the result.

[drift e302]

painted and fitted! didn't get any photos of the mounts but basically rubber C cups mounted half way and at the end of the system.

bought some cheap skid rims. 17x7's with et 40 offset so I'll need some spacers but anything is better then those bottlecaps!


Radiator is all plumbed up!


Finished the wiring! just haven't taken a photo of it all clean and tied up.

Looking good! Have you had the car on the ground with that exhaust yet? It's going to be hilariously low. Reason I never ran an exhaust on my 5.0L car haha.

[drift e302]

It was about 2 cm off the ground on flat 14's and really low. I've jacked it up to where a good set of 17's will make it sit and it was around 10cm which isn't too bad for a track car.

bad photo but you get the idea.


Hydraulic handbrake installed but not plumbed up yet.


No just stuffing around with wiring. My worst enemy....

Fair enough, just curious! Cary on 5.0L brother haha

Not far off now =) and then monthly drift videos!

So I don't know if anyone on here can help but as i mentioned before, wiring is my enemy. I have everything wired up and working to start the car except for one thing. The starter motor won't crank. I have the constant 12V and a switched 12V on the start click however when I do this my actual engine block has 12V, i'm sure this is why it wont crank but how the hell is my motor getting 12V on the start click??.

The engine is earthed. I've also ran completely new lines to my relay, so I'm not using any existing harness.

Any ideas??
