LMAO! I have been living off pasta for so long it is ridiculous but I now finally have a job that pays well. I still have to save for a bit and put some on the credit card but it is not too bad the only bad part is I work at least 48 hours a week with a minimum half hour commute sometimes hour and a half if the are doing the nightly construction on the bridges in richmond which is every night So I get home and usually just pass out immediately so I almost never have time for anything but they do pay so thats nice.


So more pics!!!

Big spenderrrrrrrr! Lookin great Paul. Let me know when you bolt it on so I can get a ride once you're back in the area

After you're done with that, you can help me build the M up to keep up with the civic

lol when are you going to get it dyno'ed I need to know numbers off the M then we can rip into it and add more powarrrrrrr!!!

I have to take care of the del sol first which should hopefully happen tonight once all the parts arrive today. adjust the land rover which should only take about a night and then I can start on Kiari.

I think I might need to pull the head to figure out why the vtec soly is not getting any oil plus I still have to make a new drain line a new feed line new down pipe and dump tube cause not having a wastegate dump tube hurt me big on the last pull on the dyno matt figured it killed about 40-50 hp on it cause we could both tell it was making a lot more on the street then it said on the dyno.

I need that UPS man and fedex man to hurry up today cause I want my goodies!!!

Ahhhg! so my 3 inch v-banded tight 90 with flex coupling came in today and I found out that precisions Idea of a 3 inch v-band is 3 inch Outer diameter of the flange not 3 inch inner diameter which my flex coupling and my whole exhaust is. this is going to be interesting

All piping and measurements in this industry are all OD, and never ID Paul. FYI

[bomerman19]

then atp needs to start saying that their 3 inch tight 90 is more like 3 and 3/4's the pipe is 3 inch but the od of the v-band flange is that 3 3/4. the other on they sell is a 2.5 inc and I have v-band flanges that you can put 2.5 inch piping into and the od of the flange is 3 inches but I really do not want 2.5 coming off the turbo when the rest of my exhaust is 3 inch.

So taking suggestions from do I get the modular piping that is 2.5 inch that is about a foot long and then bump up to 3 inch below the alternator or do I just weld up my own down pipe that is 3 inch straight off the turbo.

here is the modular pipe

oh and I just ordered this cause my old helmet start dying out when I was doing the RHD conversion and has just gotten worse over tim but since I could not afford it at the time I have just stuck with it and can not see at all out of it so time for a new helmet.

Alright I need to get back to the del sol there is a lot more work I need to do to the suspension on my last day off.

Personally, if you can go 3" right off of the flange, then do it. If you can't then do a small section of 2.5" and flare to 3" after the bend with something like the vibrant cone trans....
