Nice work man! You should try and snap a shot of the cutoff if you get the chance one night.

UPDATE:
Did some bodywork and painted the GT4 hood. It needs more clear. I ran out, but wanted to get the hood on the car since I needed the old hood latch for something else. I'll get some pics later with a few more coats of clear.     (my niece)    |

Started to fit the kit.. It needs a little adjustment, some trimming and paint, but here is the mock up. Sorry for the crappy pics. I'll get more today. I'm trying to get the car ready for the meet on the 11th.
    I still need to figure out the rear. I'm looking for a zapt rear, with no luck. I've wanted that rear forever. I might just make my own if I have to. |

Wow, looking good. Here's a silly question, but how did you change the clock color? I want to do the same to mine, just red.

It was a few years ago when I did it (from my other car) If I remember correctly, I did it by taking the clock apart and putting blue plastic in there for the light to shine through. |

Waiting for parts to come in so I painted my 3in magnaflow exhaust and will put it on soon. I know the 5SFE doesn't need this, but I'll do the 3s swap again soon and already have this in the car ready to go.

I'm a little confused with the exhaust routing. Def shoot a pic when she's bolted up.

Got the exhaust on there today. It took forever since the oil pan was in the way. I tried lowering the cross member to get the pipe to clear but it wouldn't move enough. So I dropped the oil pan to get it by. I needed to replace the oil pan gasket and do an oil change so it killed a few birds with one stone. I made a short pipe to get the 3S exhaust to bolt up to the 5S engine. It wasn't perfect since my welding is still very novice, but I got better as I went and laid a few decent beads.
It sounds awesome and I feel a little bit more pick up and throttle response. Pics

Interesting. It just goes down the center? Does it go under your gas tank away from the heat shield?

It runs in the same path as stock except it goes under the rear axle instead of over it. Hope these pics help:      Also I put in a short ram intake. Just an ebay one for now since the motor will change somewhat soon.    |

Interesting. No problems with it hitting the axle?
