lookforjoe Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Nice!Just curious - why didn't you flip the FMIC & make the pipes shorter/higher up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlboroman Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 It would have created clearance issues with the black cylinder thats something for the ac and some piping for the ac on the other side unless i made tight turns. So i just went for the path of least resistance. If shorter pipes had been a real goal, i would have gone for a diffirent style of intercooler. If i had flipped it i could maybe have saved 6-7" in length. But alla pipes are 60mm outher diameter so even if i had saved 7" the diffirence in volyme is small, and i have used large radius bends where possible. So in the end i think it will balance out. And if i were going for optimum spool i would have gone som smething else that the Holset though it quite fast.Got a little package from CJ yesterday, just need calipers and then i have good brakes all around B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlboroman Posted April 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Made av few holes to let air through, dunno if it will make it coll any better, but it loos serious at least.Thougt my horns hade made so much sound, but u've never really botherd to check. One were full of gravel Relocated the horns again, the pressurepipe didnät allow me to put them back where they used to be. Now they're facing downward so they dont collect so much crap :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlboroman Posted April 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Had to waste a lot of time on my gg's, but i have mnanaged to make a few thing anyway.Replaced bushing in the gearshifter assembly (have no idea what's it called in english ) for harder ones. A lot better feel now when shifting, looking forward to trying how it feels when the car is running.All work on the Holsetinstallation is cancelled for the time beeing due to lack of funds. And whats maybe more imortant, it's been on stands so long now i need to get it together and drive in order not to loose motivation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlboroman Posted June 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Long time, no update... Got i back on all 4 for the first time since november Lots of clearance under the intercooler Been talking about it for a long time, but now i finally got around to move the battery to the trunk. It fired right up after the winter. Got it out and it seems to work fine. And im soo happy with the sound in it now.m I gotta check so the whisteling isn't from any leak though But the happinesswas short lived, on the first night i got pulled over and now im going to get the car inspected on tuesday and hopefullt it's legal again after that.

Marlboroman Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Mesoam: No, i haven't got around to that yet. But i'm thinking of renovating the calipers maybe during the weekend and putting them back on. And if the paycheck is good enough i can finally buy the s60r rear calipers (i have everything else) and get big brakes all around. flyfishing3: :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
