Im forever moving on with my systems and trying new things so with this new build comes a new lighter system

As I have the tooling with this system I wanted to try tight spring slip joints for the centre to rear system

The start of the rear system with 3" flange upto 3.5" slip joint so the 3.5" system can be used with the stock cat pipe

I love the amount of detail you've put into this project. I would never have the patience to finish a project the right way like this lol. Fantastic work!

Car looks jizzfactor3000 good!
Is that an oil restrictor on the turbo inlet or is it just an adapter to the oil line off the turbo?
Want some sound vids of it boosting up!

:driving:

This time I wanted to make a real duct for the v mount rad and cooler

Here are a few progress photos from tonight

Ok just pulled the duct out

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...ps19a0ccf3.jpg

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...psce038161.jpg

It's very light and I will still have to trim and cut the holes for the rad and cooler,I'm happy with the way it's turned out

RICE RACING 05-10-2013 07:09 PM

Honestly mate, hurry up and move to Australia!
You will make a killing here with your skills you are showing, and there is lots of drug proceeds that are laundered here so money is no object for lots of customers.
UK and US are broke ass motherfuckers compared to us, you need to move and move now!
