Short video and some pics of the setup.
I know there were a number of people asking for them in the other thread. I'm getting sick of clicking on the other thread so I decided to just post them here. This wasn't a photo shoot or anything, just taking some pics in the driveway after Chris and I washed the cars.
Video, eh, just a few quick clips as it rained all weekend and was freezing cold... (like in the 40's
)
I'll get better pics and vids soon.
Another thing... the car doesn't have an exhaust on it in the pics. I've been driving it around since I got it with just two resonators coming off the downpipe. I just dropped it off today for a shop just down the street from me to weld in all the custom piping and my new mufflers. It should look and sound sick with the new Ti tips.
/
I'm also going to be having them weld up new crossover pipes and u-pipes as the car still has the Turbonetics 2" pipes in it. I'm looking forward to seeing how this effects the performance of the setup.
Oh, and if you've seen the car before you'll notice it has new wheels, 295 drag radials, and a blitz wing. I'm liking the setup so far but the DR's still spin all over the place unless they're heated.
Allright, here they are...

New pics there.
I prefer these wheels to the nismo-style wheels. I still have the Rays wheels and will be using them for road trips. It's nice to have a spare set of 18's to beat up on.

Looks good. Is the coating on the charge piping a special heat transfer/resistant coating or just plain ole pc. I like the finish of the stock turbonetics ic piping tho, miss it a bit.

And, umm... the custom turbo thing is probably something most shops wouldnt touch with a 10-foot pole. There are some kits on the market now that are pretty trick that I'd consider before going this route.
Thanks all. It's nice having the car back, but interestingly enough it's already back in the shop getting more done to it.
