YEAH!!! I'm now counting on that ride.

FastCougar · 10-23-2007, 03:20 AM

I just rearrange the exhaust a little bit, but I'm waiting on my final part ... another 3"in/3"out MagnaFlow muffler to put at the end of the exhaust just before the tip. I could have easily run just a straight pipe from the center muffler back to the tip, but the exhaust wasn't the right tone ... it's a little too raspy for my taste. So, order was placed just now with 2nd Day air shipping ... I should have it Thursday and weather permitting, will be installing it Thursday night. If I complete the system Thursday night, I will most likely take the car to work on Friday and possibly dyno test it at a measly 6psi

How is that camera mounted?

Very nice, gotta love that sound!

FastCougar · 10-23-2007, 03:26 PM

I have a CruiseCam camera mount that is attached to the headrest posts ... I love it!

jaged · 10-23-2007, 03:32 PM

chasecams FTW. mount them anywhere on the car, get any angle

FastCougar · 10-25-2007, 12:23 PM

This goddamn rain is really pissing me off! I'm 3 hours worth of work away from having this car completely done (minus the fuel pump replacement), but it just keeps raining. Soonest I can get back to work will be Sunday

Topik · 10-25-2007, 02:56 PM

yea this rain is nonsense. I cannot get anything done either.

It's called "Don't push the goddamn gas pedal down so far".

Oh wait. That's like impossible in the Spruce Beast.

Work in your garage, Trevor! C'mon! Got my Lincoln Weldpak 155 hooked up with CO2/Ar tank... 220V / 50A MIG welder FTW. Can even put a kit in that allows you do do aluminum without a spool gun.

FastCougar · 10-25-2007, 05:48 PM

My garage is a bloody mess. The Go-Kart takes up one side and I can't pull into the other side because I have too much crap in there ... I might do some rearranging tonight so I can at least back the car half-way in on Saturday to finish working on the car. Can't test my work out though with wet road
