yeah it fits good. I wouldnt put it on if it didnt. And yes its a full pillar. Dont like the half pillars. Looks ghetto.
Meet, How did you hook up you down pipe? it looks like you put a hose clamp on it? I was just wondering because my new turbo set up doesnt have a flang to bolt up the dp so i wanted to see how you did it and how well its holding up? lmk…Thanks by the way your car is lookin hot
3" C-Clamp
STi hunting tonight? I saw you over on Western Blvd!
I like this setup dude. Hopefully someday well meet up about my front bumper that you want and i can take a ride in this beast.
does that c-clamp that holds the downpipe on stay tight? I have no clue how to hook up my downpipe to the turbo, i still havnet got a downpipe yet though because i dont know what will hook on to it…any suggestions?
wheres that daytime video? it doesnt have to be pretty, hurry up lol!
lilrickps2: I will try to make one sometime this week.
8URV8: I had just got finish running that STI. He got a car in a half jump on me b/c I wasnt ready and I caught up to his door at around 140+. I went out of my way to see what he had.
hondub: Yeah some day. Im afraid to drive it all the way up there but I wish I could grap that bumper. So much stuff is going of right now. It wont be long.
The c-clamp works better than the 5 bolt flang I had years ago.
damn, do you remember the guys name? I think I might know who it was! Do you still have a LS tranny in your car?
yeah I still have the LS tranny. The guy was asian. Seem like he was around the age of 28 or so. I beleive he said that he lived near Duralleigh. Dont remember his name doe.
Did you make your downpipe? I think ive screwed up by buying my manifold separate instead of as a manifold/downpipe combo. My manifold is a BMC log but now im racking my brain trying to figure what downpipe I should go with. A/C can go if it has to but id like to keep power steering. Im also pretty much ready to go the half radiator route with a nice sized slim fan.
How about your crossmember? Did you have to do drastic modding?
Oh and vids lol. Or screw that and take me for an actual spin hehe.
Thanks

Videos Or ban.
meet07 i’m in the area, and haven’t seen you in a while dude! take me for a spin! Santucci told me the car was nasty:ok:
wanna sell me thats stock lip? aim me i got cash
Vids or ban!
ok honestly this is an awesome thread… it gave me so much info and ideas… I thought about going down the N/A path but I ran the numbers and my horsepower goal was about 240-260 and that wasnt happening because I couldnt pull 3k out of my ass… and the numbers for the turbo setup is only about 1500… building a custom turbo kit using a 14B turbo and i figured id have to boost to about 12psi… and yep im using stock internals… willems burner and autocrome… overall excellent thread, i’ve been doin my homework for about 6 months and this basicly covered the rest… yep i need ta stop bein a kiss ass… WE WANT VIDS
8URV8: Get my number from tucci and we can meet. I dont mind takin ya for a spin.
MantisX: It would be easier to fab your own dp. All you have to do is buy some 2.5 or in my case 3" 90 bends and peice them together. Shoot if you take all that and the flang to the exhaust shop it would cost much. I just happen to have a welder in my possesion. You come to raleigh and I dont mind taking ya for a ride. I cant seem to get anyone to shoot some footage with me. EVeryone including myself is buisy. And I dont get out much.
ChAdWiCk706: Glad that the thread helped ya. My opinion on NA is it takes to much money to make a allmotor 4-banger fast. It all depends on what you want to beat when racing.
Shoot I just raced a 03 cobra today. 70-130 side my side and he start pulling from me. But a few more lbs of boost or a few extra mods will solve that. I also raced a 6.0GTO. He got a rolling start when I was in 2nd, So by time I hit fill boost he was half a car in front. But he didnt pull form me at all. I love this 1.6 but I hate the lag of the turbo. Its ok. Im use to it.
Okay so i took out my battery for the intercooler to angle it out of the way of the downpipe, but theres a bunch of stuff in the way, did you move it all, its like a huge steel ball and some other stuff, can it all be taken out? my fluidyne rad doesnt fit so i need to angle it.
Thanks for any help.
