Shaping the end of the tube to match the chopped off snout.



Trial fit up.



Spent a few hours sanding out the casting marks on the snout and the hammer marks on the tube.





Now just have to get my mate Troy to weld the pipe and snout together. (Don't have an AC tig to do Aluminium)

Hey guys, today I moved the wastegate outlet which fouled on my new radiator .

Cut it off and shortened it........



Then welded it up!




The pipe from the barrel cooler to throttle body now welded.



I made a mount for the coils. I think they should work there .



Here's a pic of the dump pipe, just tacked up at the moment. When I get the lower flange cut and tacked I can see if the flange will fit past the engine and steering box .
Then I can weld that up as well.

the only problem you might experience with the coils so low is if you ever run into rain or a larger puddle getting them wet. I would make sure to make some sort of shield or something along those lines to keep them dry. Nice project so far cant wait until i can dig into my rx2 more.

I plan not to drive it in the rain as much as possible. A sunny day driver.
