Slowly but surely. Currently taking a break from bleeding the clutch. Had to disassemble the rjm bracket and now having a royal PITA putting the clevis attachment back in. Between year round school, now two jobs, tennis and "social" life, the car gets pretty neglected, but she's coming along. I'll start a new thread soon.

Got a new 3" vortech hard pipe and some pictures of my ARC oil cooler. Oil cooler is the complete kit but I may just use the core and keep my Trust sandwich plate.

Looks good, an arc radiator would really compliment it.

So my car was loaded onto a trailer today to haul it down to Arizona and they smashed one of my Greddy Ti tips.

Either have to replace it or the exhaust all together...any good or exotic exhausts still around? Thinking about the Tomei single and the y-pipe, or trying to find an Amuse somewhere.

I just got my tomei, I love the quality of it. If it supports the power you're looking for, go for it. I'll try to upload a couple pics in a sec. The welds are very nice for any piece, and even more impressive seeing it is titanium. My aluminum 4" was lighter though lol

Oh and I chose the xyz pipe (need cat)... Not totally sold on the tomei ypipe to be honest either

Ah damn

You should be able to replace the smashed side, I would contact Greddy

http://www.greddy.com/products/exhausts/all-exhaust/

Otherwise I would go Motordyne, great exhausts!

Word, I ended up order a replacement for the time being.

The Tomei does look really good though Resmarted.

I'm scheduled to get the car tuned next week at UMS...we'll see how it goes.

Wise, no need to add up excessive costs to these kinds of things

So my C-West N1 bumper has this internal ducting that surrounds the radiator, but my intercooler and oil cooler are in the way.

I don't know much about body work but if I just cut this ducting out with a dremel or grinder do you think there would be any issues?

I've seen tons of fiberglass bumpers cut like that. Never heard of any issues.

Might leave a jagged edge if you're not careful but otherwise I don't think so.

I've cut a few of my bumpers up. Just make sure to wear a mask and some sort of eye protection; a second set of hands with a vacuum following your cuts will also help a ton. FG dust is pretty bad stuff.

+10000 on the breathing.

Gloves too. Those little fibers still get through gloves... Try not to handle any of the fiberglass directly that you don't have to. If you do get them in your skin, firmly pressing duct tape on your skin, and then yanking works well to pull them out.
