New Toys

[Bob Barker]

I don't know if anyone here is following my little build, or even cares much, but here's a little update on some of the stuff I've been able to complete, and some of the problems I've come across so far. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get around the problems please share!


gettin' into it all!

Old down pipe and stock manifold coming out

New 3" DP waiting for me to make some room under the car for it!


Think it'll flow better? hope so!



Ran into a small problem mounting the header. This little booger won't line up through the header flange, I think because the primary is in the way. I'm waiting for a PM back from the manufacturer to see if this is a common problem and how to fix. I want to grind on the primary a little but that sounds kinda sketcy to me. Thin metal an all that noise...

Is that a Scott Addict in the background?

Is that a Scott Addict in the background?

sadly no... I couldn't afford the addict at the time I bought that. But it is a brand new Scott CR1 Team full carbon with a Shimano 105 groupo. It's a basic bike that's pretty nice for someone who's brand new to the cycling world. My other bike is a Specialized Stump Jumper.

Thinking this would have been more fun.



Only worked with a handful of custom 427s in my lifetime and they are GEMS.

Of course, I don't think you can get a crate UNDER around $8k, heh.
