Slapped on my diffuser and redid my interior




.

 

Just replace my battery with an optima yellow top.

 

Yesterday I did an oil change and replaced the OE accessory belts. Then I took it for a drive to make sure I had done the work right. Today I installed an iSimple iPod adapter. Of course I had to take a drive to make sure the work was done right. Tomorrow I hope to hard wire my V1. Yep, you guessed it. I'll have to take a drive to make sure the work was done right.

 

Thats a glove fit. wish the coupes fit like that.

 

That camo shifter is the coolest, where did you pick that up?

 

its actually a bride shift boot lol

its small so its hard to tell
Got it from nifty shift

 

that is a coupe lol
wait no its not lol...just scrolled up some more

 

Had a mini meet and did a quick exhaust clip also smogged. I'll add my bros NSX for kicks too.

Nice exhaust clip on the G. What kind of set up is it?

 

they sound the same

 

X02 (hks replica) exhaust. M2 test pipes and 370z cerakote heat treatment exhaust manifolds.
X02 exhaust was extensively modified. One thing that sucks about these rep is they are 2.5 OD and not ID. ID is 2.37 +or - .05. We took the fake H pipe and drilled the exact 1.5 ID size and rewelded. Where the resonators ( which also sucked in design) resided, we installed a summit racing 2.5 ( # 643125) and had to mod it too. Center to center was 4.5 on the summit and the X02 was 4.25 + or - .100. And then I decided to checkout the Helmholtz chambers too. No one has ever attempted to check if its true or not. ( I had pictures but lost them when I switch phones) the openings for the helmholtz were small .5" x whatever squares . WTF so we grind them out to the proper ID which i believe was either 2" or 2 1/8". So thats it.... spent 125 for the used system... 60.00 for x pipe and my brothers welding skills.

Definitely a much better system now. Absolutely no drone at all.

I only attempted this in a way to improve a relatively cheap exhaust system. The sound and gain was a nice improvement. Touching up just the H pipe and helmholtz chambers by making them true gives a nice low rpm rumble just like old school muscle cars did as anticipated. But revving up to 4k+ was really rasppy and thats when I researched and bought the summit piece instead of the magnaflow x pipe. My findings is that most owners that have this exhaust system complain about heavy droning comes from the poor inlet to the Helmholtz chambers. Basically the HKS knockoff are true dual exhaust system with no scavenging or pulse equalization ( why it drones so bad).

 

LOL. close but not the same. Pride exhaust system is truly engineering and workmanship.

X02 (HKS REP) is how it should sound from the get go.

 

my car has been currently in the shop for about a week now, getting a full body kit put on, fixing some minor wear and tear since it has 70k miles, and getting repainted red again with some parts being black ( rims, roof, mirrors , trunk and the vents in the hood! ) heres some progress pictures finally! will post again when i get the car back in my hands, hopefully next week! just waiting on the rain guards for the hood vents :/



( impul sides not included in pictures )

 

wow where did you order your hood. and did it come with the rain guards or did you purchase it separate. also how much did the hood with the rain guards cost. here's wat snoop look like..

 

Haha, man, I know it's in the shop, but its amazing what some mismatching rims and Bondo/primer will do to make a nice car look like a total hunk of junk. Looking forward to its restoration.
