Other than that your car is the hottness....

yes, they did the door jambs and the trunk ect. They took the whole car apart to paint it. I will do that with the fender wells, I noticed that when I took the pics. Thanks.

I brought a digital camera at work last night and guess what my first pic was then the battery when low :cry:

Damn bro. Looks like some super clean work. Job well done. You going to polish or coat the piping at all?

**seth98esT** · 08-07-2006, 05:33 PM

Dang man, lots of sharp 90* bends. Not wanting to relocate the battery to the trunk so you can get some nice long bends?

Shouldnt be a huge difference, work looks good. Dont forget to invest in some nice T-bolt clamps.

i agree about all those sharp bends is i possible for you to fit a straight pipe like this

it might not be cuz that looks like a pretty big turbo

Jet your car is looking good. Need to forward me some instructions when you finish.

Ya I had no room for the 2.5" piping.

Thanks a lot. I'm going to paint it black with some sort of antirust paint. Then I'm going to wrap it all with black heatwrap. If possible I'll try to use some braided hose to make it look as stock as possible.

Hahaha you got me. I really didn't want to relocate the battery just yet. Though I might do that after I finish everything. At the very least to offset any weight gain in the front. The turbo alone weights about as much as our battery.

The problem with that method is that it will be in the way of the oil feed line. The white plastic you see is about as high as the line runs.

No problem dude.

The fun is still far from over. It seems that this project will never stop. After finishing the IC piping, I noticed that the wastegate wont fit anymore. Now I have to redo the wastegate section, as I'm totally unwilling to touch the IC piping.

**4-G-rim** · 08-07-2006, 10:21 PM

Impressive Jet...the fabrication looks nice and clean. Less bends will be better but you can always redo the piping afterwards..the initial fab work is the hardest. You are a few steps ahead of me when it comes to welding...I just recently started to learn to weld and fabricate I/C piping.

Looks good man...look forward to your Galant running! 8)

**DryBear** · 08-08-2006, 01:00 AM

Nice job with the IC piping!

Just a word of note - finish the 5 speed swap *before* putting the turbo piping on - I had to remove most of the piping to get at bolts and stuff. Plus, you will get a bit more room in there once the ginormous auto tranny is out of the way.

Aight... here are my pics... just joined a few days ago...
I know everyone is going to tell me to drop it... I plan on it at about 1.5"

I do have a question about a drop... those with a drop- what's the drive like while in NYC... I live here and would hate to waste money on costly repairs with all the damn potholes... I've already dented a rim, small dent but it still hurts.

Well let me know what you guys think.... all criticism is welcome...

nice car. I also had a set of blacked out heads, I still have them may put them back for alittle.

**rez887** · 08-08-2006, 06:26 PM

Nice looking g, clearing the corners and paint the headlights black is not a bad idea.

**Urseccesor** · 08-08-2006, 07:13 PM

thanks for the compliments... I've been considering adding the black heads and clearing the corners but not yet decided.
I'm the city & in SI just about every other weekend.
