FC3S Murray · 04-05-2011, 09:48 PM

FIRST DRIVE yesterday.....MAN OH MAN was it SWEET!!

Everything works as expected. The Integra speedo only needed a little tap on the head and then the needle jumped and worked the whole 12 miles. The cooling temp differances in my gauges cleared up. The C6 Z06 clutch is very streetable, I was expecting something a little harsher lol. The low end torque is CRAZY...so nimble when cruising and has good street manners.

It goes to get the exhaust tomorrow morning. I drove it down today to the exhaust shop to have them take a peek at the ride height just in case I needed to raise it for their hoist. Height was fine. They were CRAZY EXCITED about it, I laughed as I pulled up because everyone in the parking lot/block was rubber necking me

)

Got some pics of it today....it is dirty as all hell but I forgot how nice she sits. :yay:

INTAKE DONE

Interior cleaned

Ride height is nice but hopefully not too low(rear especially)

FC3S Murray · 04-05-2011, 09:49 PM

Exhaust DONE!!!!!

Turned out great looking!

VIDEO:
3 033

The car is WAY louder then the camera makes it seem. The 6" Magnaflows really have a nice rasp to them. However I am happy I dont freeway travel....these babies will drone at higher speeds.

All that is left now is to get my bumper installed, make a shroud for my radiator/ intake and take it to Spokane on to get tuned this month

chibikougan · 04-06-2011, 09:28 AM

Nice!! Gonna be a fun drive.

RETed · 04-06-2011, 01:28 PM

Sorry, but I gotta say this...

The build started as a really costly build then turned into a V8 conversion.

I dunno why you went with the cheapie crush bent exhaust system, cause the necked-down bends are just hurting exhaust flow.

In Sean's defense... i dont think anyone near us has a mandrel bender.....

josh18_2k · 04-06-2011, 04:56 PM

(until cam anyway)

I know I know but Kyle is right...no manderal bender anywhere. Not to mention the cost of labor I was gonna pay for using cut up peices of manderal bent pipe was gonna be upwards of 780.00(what he qouted me). The bends are not at all too severe, I will take a power hit to save the cash....I am a family man bro, money is very scarce when it comes to this car.

The entire car has been costly over the last 8 years lol, this swap was actually pretty cheap after all the money you rotary guys paid me for my old parts lol
