I guess the only problem is finding someone who has a jig to build one...

That is an incredible looking exhaust. Shame it's hidden under the car.

Painted the rusty brake hubs and had a go at plasti dipping the wheels. Not to everyone's taste but it is hiding the gutter rash that I am not so keen on seeing.. :lol:

Crappy Iphone photos for now.

Wheels need to be "finished off" with a couple of coats of bronze - bronze rims on a black car looks "schmick" IMO (black on black looks too "murdered out" - unless you're Batman).

I also like black/bronze combo. Always wanted a 'murdered out' car.. when I'm bored of Bat Mobile look I can just peel it off :mrgreen:

Finally installed an Ebay IC. And many thanks to Adam (wassup) for helping out into the late night...
:lol:

The clips that are between head light and the front wheel are a little tricky to get them to release but we managed it after a few attempts.
Was so tempted to just use force and pull on them. Apart from that the rest was pretty smooth. It is a tight fit for this IC (27x7x2.5)
The hard aircond or power steering lines are also in the way and need to remove the brackets that are holding them to make more space for the IC to sit properly.

Now you cannot even see the IC anymore..
And hopefully this will help with keeping the temps down for the summer heat.

The IC install was about 3 weeks old. This is more recent update.

Dann should get a kick out of this one.

My car was dynoed in March after the ECU, Injectors and CAI was installed. And the result was 136kw at the wheels. Roughly 184hp..

After installing Dann's 3 inch SS exhaust system (including the down pipe) + the intercooler the car was taken back to MRC for a tune.
The result is impressive. 153kw Well for me anyway. Roughly 208hp..
My goal was to get to 200hp and loose some weight on the car and so far I am really happy with the over all set up for the car..

The tune also added extra fuel needed and fixed rough idling i have noticed since the exhaust install. It is running 12psi (pretty safe level for stock engine)

It wasn't late night.... We were at it till early morning! I was wrecked. For those considering. This sized IC is not a great fit :? The height is the biggest problem.

The shorter 140mm tall one is the one I use for street cars with air con, thats an excellent improvement, 20rwhp improvement and still on only 12 psi :)

Must be pretty quick now :D

That's a nice improvement!

I also found the PS hardline a PITA, I bent mine in front of the IC.

Looking forward to a NitroDann exhaust and praying for similar figures.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

You should paint the PS hardline silver and tell everyone it's a nitrous intercooler cooler!
