smellslikecurry · 10-09-2011, 01:32 PM

haha dude that exhaust is awesome! my setup is almost exactly the same except im running one tip out the license plate hole! good job!

silver04rsx · 10-09-2011, 01:48 PM

I am deff digging the exhaust. Nice thinking outside the box and being different!!! Props to you.... Are the thrush the only muffler you have on the exhaust?? If so that thing is gonna sound nasty. In a blow your ear drums off, good way...

Broadfield · 10-09-2011, 01:54 PM

I don't hand out compliments very often... well, never really. But you and your father have done a great job, out under a car port, with limited resources.

Yea i was a bit concerned about how loud it will be, but pops made some baffling so we will see how it goes. If its too loud then we will change accordingly.

Thanks for the complement. Although I wish we had a nice shop with a lift and all the awesome tools.

DownSouthSlider · 11-06-2011, 06:47 PM

havent really had time to mess with the car in the past few weeks but managed to get the exhaust and spoiler finished.

going to try to finish the sheet metal work inside the car next weekend then it will be coming back to my house to get the wiring / plumbing done and tie up a few loose ends!

hopefully all the panels will be riveted in place. still have to do the door panels and some other metal work inside the car.

conrad_s13.5 · 11-07-2011, 09:06 AM

shits def coming together!
digg it man

7evil · 11-07-2011, 09:15 AM

Great job, congratulations!

nate1 · 11-07-2011, 09:44 AM

so original, love the wing and exhaust, has that 2000s F&F feel with the paint like that to

DownSouthSlider · 11-07-2011, 08:33 PM

thanks guys...

2000's F&F paint what??

BILLFISHER21 · 11-07-2011, 09:49 PM

rodd for some reason i realy love the spoiler. I assume the uprights mount through trunk.

DownSouthSlider · 11-09-2011, 07:42 PM

yea bill they are mounted through the trunk lid. thanks dudes! i wanted a lip spoiler but decided to go a bit more old school road race style.

F20cS13 · 11-10-2011, 12:40 AM

This is like the "Days of thunder" s13 lol. First time I've seen most of the cosmetic work and ita great.and big props on the exhaust. Might have to steal your idea :-)
Can't wait to see the rest, great work

P.s the fact your even welding is leaps over what most of us do :-)

jbretz · 11-10-2011, 06:57 AM

you know you have an epic build thread whenever your doing amazing builds like this in the carport and your dad is wearing a fatlace shirt. props to you and your pops dude

xnissan240sx · 11-10-2011, 07:58 AM

we will see how this one turns out. we might mass produce them in the future if they are worth the time.

got some sheet metal work complete today. still need to do some heat shroud work between the cell and exhaust, and the trans tunnel. Also still need to remove all sound deadening crap. here is what we did today

where the ECU and Fuse block will go.

here are the door panels. (not pictured are the door sills which are there now)

money shot

And again............

They originally did my dash similar to yours (aluminum bezel) but after they were done with comp they made it more "street" and I never got that piece with the car:-\ ...I might have you mock on up for me:-). I noticed there's went down further on the sides where the cruise buttons etc are.I'll try and find a pic of it for you.

DownSouthSlider · 11-14-2011, 07:43 PM

yea dude id like to see it. bad news is the dash isnt FD legal so it looks like we are going to have to make a full fiberglass OEM replacement dash. its in the rule books. oh well we will keep it how it is for now until im ready for pro-am events.

anthonyr sil8ty · 11-14-2011, 08:21 PM

looks dope, that father and son bonding time.... gotta love it.

EazyS13 · 11-15-2011, 06:45 PM

wish my pops was more into cars and would give me a hand, he dont like to get dirty lol.

Darren · 11-15-2011, 10:04 PM

Sorry if it was covered and i missed it, but are you running windows?

Is this a track only vehicle, the build sure seems to be going that direction...

I like that you are doing things with purpose in mind, and then making it look good afterwards, very nice, keep it up

DownSouthSlider · 11-15-2011, 10:17 PM

thanks dude. yea the electric windows are staying for now. will most likely have a window net as well. but we want to do full lexan later on down the road.

iveexcaped3 · 12-03-2011, 02:56 PM

i know its in but just a idea that i woulda done if i was taking my exhaust all the way back is v-band it for quick removal if you need to do emergency repairs. mines dumping out right at the headers, open works for me but good job ill be following this

DownSouthSlider · 12-04-2011, 03:25 PM

yea open isnt legal for Formula D/pro-am events. we were gonna run the exhaust like this until i re-read the rule book.

But your concern about quick repair, we have it clamped in the middle so we can remove it easy and quick if needed.

thanks dude!
