I have no idea what the offset is on them, I got them from beau. He used them on his crx racecar.

Ill be letting everyone know when and where the dyno/tune session is. I think im gona go pick up some sheet metal tomorrow to start fabing up my catchcan. Well see if I have time after I get off work. $:-\$

i just bent up a catchcan for my crx out of alum at work and tiged it together, will have 2 filters and 2 inlets then one oil return line to the block... you making yours out of steel?

those slicks look nice. Hope they don't rub to bad when braking. My friend sliced up the side of his slicks, front would slam down after the run while braking.

Use the e-brake instead of jacking on the brake pedal, and the front doesnt slam down. Also dependant on how soft or stiff the front suspension is.

Then again, I can do this because my breakdown is uphill at my local track. May not be the safest bet for others...

My front suspention is pretty stiff, so i dont think im gona have an issue. i have an extra set of shit ass fenders that i was holding on to incase my fenders rub, at wich point i will cut the fuck out of my garbage ones for extra clearance for when i go to the track.

Good call on the other fenders. thats exactly what my friend did after he rubbed his slicks, he got fiberglass widened fenders though. :yes:

Because the piston pins were just a little to tight on a 3 of the rods. So thats why I honed it.

I had him keep them for just that reason, Because I didnt know how much clearance I would have over my slicks. cut off wheel here I come!! Ill hack the fuck out of them and throw them into the car when I go to the track, so if I need to put them on at the track I can.

Yep, there beau's old ones he sold to me. I got the rims and slicks from him.

Did a little crude tuning by myself today. Just some idle and post cranking type stuff, and checked my timing and wow, I now pull 3 more in of vac. Now im not gassing out my garage every time I start my car. So looks like i will be cutting and tacking up the rest of my exhaust through out the week and then droping everything off to ryan to have him do some baller tig welding on it over the weekend.

I can help you tune it if you want. I have a spare set of vice grips

malichite · « **Reply #383 on:** February 04, 2010, 11:34:26 AM »

Looks hot. Fuck NWSR by the way. I hate that place

ratcityrex · « **Reply #384 on:** February 04, 2010, 11:37:02 PM »

Well I droped the mid pipe section off to malichite today to get it welded up. He said it was to nice to be having me dropping my thick ass slug welds onto. So I should get it back on saturday, so I figured by next wed, or thursday, I should be boosting.

Once I get my catch can In I will crank on the mbc a little.

Teg2boo · « **Reply #386 on:** February 04, 2010, 11:53:00 PM »

That's 2.5 or 3"?

I like the way you did it. Much less trouble than to use the stock placement for the muffler...

Yep, my brotherinlaw wrecked his srt-4 and it had 3" injen exhaust on it. He asked do you want any parts b4 I have it towed the wrecking yard? I took the exhaust, and his intercooler, and It also his stockintercooler I kept too.

I will say, (and malichite will quote me on this) The 3" flanges that injen used on that exhaust is the most bad ass 3" flanges i have ever welded with. I think that they are cnc'ed. They are fucking beefy!!

I dont know how loud it will be with just the resonator, but I have a feeling that sometime this summer I will be picking up a magnaflow and having new exhaust welded up from the axel flange back because I dont realy like how it turned out. Might end up stuffing another resonator instead of the magnaflow behind the axel. And then cut a hole in my rear bumper behind the mud flap and kick the exhaust out there. I would do a stainless steel sheet metal plate that would be pop-riveted on with the exhaust running through it. There is a pefect spot cut in the frrame from the factory for it too.

And teg2boo its 3"

malichite · « **Reply #388 on:** February 05, 2010, 01:37:48 AM »

Yeah, those flanges kick ass. I wish I knew where to order some like that brand new. Anyways nigger, your shit is done. You can tell I havn't been tig welding for a while. They didn't come out immaculate but they should hold.
