Big thanks to Jim and Joe for their help, couldn't have done it without them.
    Short exhaust clip ! Another one before anyone ask I have no power figures on the setup yet. as for issues, so far i've had a bad trans ( replaced ) bad axle seals ( replaced ) and my latest discovery, a bad rear main seal, which I'll replace this coming saturday hopefully. right nwo the car runs amazingly, still at stock boost, but it feels like a F-16 compare to my super 7a auto setup, the setup is as follows, 3rd gen 3sgte MR2 LSD trans ATS cam gears Berk tech downpipe Tein coilovers TRD short shifter ACT heavy duty pressure plate with F1 racing Stage 4 sprung disc Magnaflow high flow cat Vibrant performance resonator Skunk2 muffler 3 inch piping all the way back under the rear suspension still have to install Blitz EBC and HKS FconV and water injection, but I"ll do that after I correct my leak isuue. Paint used on the engine is VHT flat blackmost parts were cured in an Oven, except for turbo and throttle body. This post has been edited by Culpable04: Aug 27, 2011 - 3:10 PM --------------------  |

there were a lot of small modifications I did to the car during the swap
this is one of them. Another mod ! I have since change it a little, now when I turn them off, my wideband stays on, as I read on the manual that is a bad practice to run the engine with no power to the wideband. -------------------- |

thanks guys, the car is almost where I want it so after oil leak and a few parts left to be installed, the only thign left will be a fresh paint job which I'll get over the course of the winter.
RPM video ordered everything needed for Saturday, and fingers crossed will go smooth. meanwhile I'll be topping the oil and enjoying it. the car is driven daily to work ( ~ 90 miles of highway ) with no issues, occasional boost and enjoyment. -------------------- |

this week's feature mod is
  those pictures are just a mock up, I'll need to mod it a little to accomodate my exhaust but nothing too major, once fitted I will extend it to reach at least to the rear suspension crossmember. total cost of this so far US$45.00

That IS going to look awesome. Imagine how that'd look on my car with SS-III splitters up front?

tomorrow I'll finish this, I fully modified both sides, the corvette diffuser was a little too long, so I cut it in half and took the excess of the middle, I have to do some major cutting due to my exhaust, but it's ready to be welded and bolted on.
I ran out of light so didn't get to take pictures of the whole thing, only have pictures of the driver side enjoy     -------------------- |
