Day 44 - 4/9/2004

Home

Got home today with 3 boxes of stuff from Summit Racing and Jegs. Got a 100 amp Alternator, 3" 90 degree bend and the speedometer controller from Jegs. Got a roll of 3/8" aluminum fuel line and 2 stainless intercooler exhaust tips from Summit Racing. Also got the rear Delco lower control arm bushings from Rock Auto.

I am still waiting on the 2.50" pipe from Summit out of Reno Nevada. That is all I need to complete the exhaust.

Tonight was spent welding up the 3" pipe for the main feed to the muffler. I keep getting asked why I am doing it this way. I am doing it because I think it will look pretty cool. Will it make it faster? I don't think so, but it will look cool... and that is what really counts :)

I am still waiting for the 2.50" pipe. Yes there will be supports for the muffler and the pipes. I'll extend the rear frame back into the trunk and that will have the rubber mounts that will act as isolators for the mounts.

Look at that huge pipe hanging low.

Tight fit. But man that pipe is something else! Compared to the 1 7/8" pipe that MR2s usually use!

Here is an overhead shot. As you can see the pipe on the right. There will also be one on the left. These will then turn into 2 90 degree bends that will exit out of the two holes I drilled.

You can see the angle the exit pipes will be at.

See how they line up with the holes in the trunk

Man those pipes look awesome. Just wish I could make prettier welds. I really do suck at welding.
