well i preffer do ah custom build, than pay that money, saw in another thread a guy builds extractors on cepero rd, in san do, around $800 for a 4-2-1 extractor, so that should put me in about a $2000 range for headers and y-pipe. it wont give the same as the aftermarket ones, but it better than stock.

also that black cefiro mad Twisted Evil

cacasplat3 · Posted: Fri Sep 08, 2006 12:18 pm Post subject:

^^^^ cool scene man, i sure your mech cussing u for putting him through this stress Laughing

Chiney · Posted: Fri Sep 08, 2006 12:38 pm Post subject:

nah.. he got like 4 days to do the work.. no prob at all.. i jus hadda keep meh arse home..

wats the latest with yours??

those newer vq have the same power.. but somehow they naturally sound more Twisted Evil

but the parts are in slightly different location..

get some pics of yuh intake nah..

cacasplat3 · Posted: Sat Sep 09, 2006 12:16 am Post subject:

the man who supposed to do my intake say he dosent have time until next weekend, i eh know how that going to work cuz school opening monday for me and i usually keep my ass home on weekends. Laughing

rodney had said that the newer vq's have VIAS or sumthing so, he said that in the beggning of this thread i think, i think he said it adds 30hp on the 3.0L models over its predessor.
well i got meh brakes polished over the weekend, and i got sum slots up on the front rotors. was done on a CNC milling machine, it was perfectly balanced and no part of the rotor is under the min. thickness, so i safe. Twisted Evil

brakes holding like WOW now Shocked

a strut bar would be installed in a few weeks, and the extractors will have to put off, most likely i'll just de-cat and put a nice 2.5 inlet turbo barrel. that should be enough for the while.

u wah pics of the intake now? i could take the pics, but is nothing special cuz the filter just behind the battery.

Chiney · Posted: Sat Sep 09, 2006 1:08 am Post subject:

oh ok.. well small thing

de-cat the car..

how much HP across the band will this add??

and i eh wah meh car with noise.. so no barrel(aka rice)

BRAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

cacasplat3 · Posted: Sat Sep 09, 2006 1:52 am Post subject:

^^^^^^^^^^ u MAAD
that v6 does sound real sweet with ah good muffler, nuh no brrrraaappppppp thing, is like voooooooowwwwwwwwwww, sounds almost 350z(then again it is the same family!)
removing the cat should give betweent 4-8hp, not sure, but it worth giving it ah try.
strut bar has to be confired though, cuz i supposed to call the fella and i stick Neutral

only other thing i could think of doing right now, is changine the coolant(never changed it) and changing the power steering oil, an oil cooler isnt hard to put in to the powersteering system, just remove the loops infront the condenser and put the cooler, but that is ah waster IMO

gauges may come in the future, but those indiglo gauges real hard to come across, i would have sum e-mailing to do to find those things. Sad

Chiney · Posted: Sat Sep 09, 2006 10:04 am Post subject:

well got the car...today.. works like WOW !!!

and well.. the exhaust system sounds great..

the job cost $5000.00TT !!
and still eh done..
got the cradle arms to do.. boths side.. $1300 ah side + labour(300)

so all odda stuff hadda wait hoss. but the car sounds GREAT.. reminds me of the time pop pick it up and reach home with it.. with 19000KM on de ODO.. sounded like ah new engine..

he did ah good job...

i will list the stuff he did later on

i still recovering from de 5000.00 BLOW TO HEAD Laughing

cacasplat3 · Posted: Sat Sep 09, 2006 7:10 pm Post subject:

boi that is real money, buh the cradels is ah big blow too, $1300!!!! i payed 900 for one after a discount, all u have to do is get sumone in massey to buy it for u and yuh good. 300 to install one is too high, if is 2 well that eh bad. now doh make the mistake like me and tighten up the cradel b4 putting weight on it, leave the cradel slack, drop the car back on the wheels, then thighten up the nuts. it prevents the rubbers in the cradel from being streched.

what u did to the exhaust?
and ehat else u have to do? Razz
