Ok guys and gals... it is finished and oh so pretty. I just wanted to stare at it, but was forced to test it out and suck up a few fumes......

For me it is the torque that makes me happiest. :yumyum: and there was a smoother slide through 4-6rpms. The slight vibration in the pedals was my reminder that it was there.....I am sure it is loud on the back end.....but not obnoxious. I like that I can tell that my car wants to be shifted in 7-9rpms now, and not in 4-5rpms when I first had it.

Strangely enough, once I was under, the fear slipped away and I felt oddly comfortable once I started tugging on shit. It definately would suck as a one person job if you were a small Japanese guy or P gal. I had a bit of muscle walking me through the mod..........my Voodoo II guy

Okay, enough talk... here are the pics of my girl's new undergarments.....ha ha eh ahem.....did the attachment work???

gr8t job Mantis!!!!
I love to do mods myself but I do know my limitations....although I am a little bigger than you...my age is my diability...LOL along with arthritis in the knees and hips....lol
I had my Borla put on by my local speed shop.....the price was right!!

BlueRenesis82 11-03-2005 08:22 AM

I'm not picking on ya, but the first pic looks like abstract art :-d

BA Studio Art....

I don't know where the trasformation took place last night.......under the car.....smelling the fumes.....driving her.....but it hit me......I could be a junkie.

I have watched my husband for 5years now mod his car and even assisted with the turbo install and I still didn't get it. I supported it, no questions but didn't have the fever.

It's like crack. I've been riding high all day looking forward to my freakin' hour and a half drive home.......

maybe it's the ownership....or the effort of the install, who knows......too fun.....

then you are going to hate me when I tell you this but not only do I have full access to a hydrolic lift but to all the tools you can think of including alligment, paint booth, etc. The best part is that it cost from free to $3 a day to use the facility and it is just accross the street from my new home :D

Well, no CEL's yet......is that to come???

Paint and body work does really tickle my mind......I think I would need a bit of voteching on that one......

BlueRenesis82 11-04-2005 08:57 AM

umm, no CEL's from a catback exhaust.

Mantis 11-05-2005 08:43 PM

My novice self may have screwed up my terminology.....installed the muffler and B pipe not midpipe so there was no messing with the cat......not yet at least.....I don't think I will have and CEL without messing with the cat....

The addiction continues....and KYLiquid that nose is looking mighty nice.....and I've got an itch......

BlueRenesis82 11-06-2005 08:57 AM

track time next!

Mantis 11-07-2005 08:15 AM

One tip for the midpipe job - the front bolts (between the two O2 sensors) are WELDED into the cat piece. You will just break tools. You have to take the front nuts off, and leave the bolts/studs in place.

S

-cat pipe has three studs>>
