Modding....Again!

Just gotta have those big 'buluh' muffler on my ride.....yes.....in case you're wondering, I just couldn't repent myself from changing my exhaust system to a more menacing looks - yeah, I actually prefer the looks more than the sound - but you just have to accept the fact that good looking muffler will set you back with big noise too, read : ATTRACTING SUMMONSES..... Well, who said car-modding is law-abiding by the way? Scared of summons, no need to mod loh!

*And I'm not gonna tell what type/brand of muffler I'm changing - judge/guess it yourself*

Up she goes.....the mechanic inspects the stock exhaust setup.....

Down goes the stock 2.5" piping.....looks heavy? Damn I was quite surprised the piping weighs only a mere 7 kg! Damn those JDM stuff are really high in quality.....

Now, see that two bulges along the pipe? That's the utmost reason I'm changing my pipe to a straight one, on the left is the catalytic converter, while normal bullet on the right.....rule of thumb for a turbo engine reliability (not to mention power increase) - no unnecessary restriction!

And the stock muffler.....also surprised me - it only weighs less than 4 kg! And just take a look at the size! 2.5" inlet and outlet.....

The 4WD driveshaft.....3 joints altogether.....I wonder if there's carbon material for these? :P

So.....done a bit of everything.....2.5" straight stainless white piping.....

Notice the 4.5" rainbow colour tip.....notice the mechanic only wore a RayBan glasses while doing the welds..... :P

Tadaa...!

Yea yeaaa.....I know.....Gonna be more careful and trying to avoid all those 'hotspots' where the law enforcers loved to setup blocks.....

And....What's this? Nah, surely it's not my engine. The pics I took is from the workshop's garage - their drag project car.....not gonna spill so much info about this, just take a look at the massive intake plenum to accomodate the air fed from an Apexi RX6 turbo unit, and the Bosch dual coil unit - seen this for the first time.......

Was wondering too - aren't there any non-car related stuff to be posted? Stay tuned for the next stuff. >_<

It's Been A While....

LAZY. Huarggghhhh!

Will update again, but don't put too much of a hope - recently have to take care loads of stuff. So just enjoy some pics below, and owh - feel free to comment too.

Now riding on 18" shoes - and lowered springs only (Tanabe NF210) - Those TEIN coilovers would set me back at RM3800 without shipping - so I guess this could just do at the moment.

Current engine bay - some add-ons such as genuine Samco silicone hoses & vacuum hoses, HKS SQV, and err....TRD(?) emblem.... :P Note that the air filter setup is still in stock condition...kuikuikui....

Interior....genuine Apexi TT with black casing and blue color digit show (limited edition nihh)

Not forgetting, new engine oil for that rejuvenated feeling! (well, could actually hear my engine breaths smoothly now :P, NOT)

A race sourced engine M-oil coupled with....a top end oil filter! The brand is Power Mag, and it has magnets inside it to trap all those metal particles to prevent long-term engine damage....konon nya lah! (sorry for the blurry image :P)

More stuff on this late afternoon! >_<
