Its late here in the UK so if you dont mind i'll answer the exhaust question and answer the other questions later..

The exhaust is for a reason; at Nurburgring in Germany at Easter i got black fagged for too much noise, didnt even get out on track Easter Monday FFS! So with the new system i have a great looking exhaust (IMO) plus its more than functional :

Old system Static @ 3500rpm = 107db

Twin with 2 bungs : 93db
Twin with 1 bung : 98db
Twin with no bungs : 101db

Noise wise it sounds great, it runs from the turbo in 3.5" pipe, them splits on the right hand side of the rear diff into 2x 3" pipes. Now what we get here is two UN-EQUAL length pipes. This causes the exhaust noise to throb, from one pipe to the other, as the pulses out the back are uneven ..now thats the iceing on the cake for me, its something else


On the videos i'm running with no bungs















At the end of the main straight it was flaming all day long apparently, though typically i can only find this one crappy picture with small flames .... one driver who i passed came upto me afterwards and said he thought the car was on fire as i went past him, he didnt realise i had twin exhausts







Thanks for the feedback, i really appreciate it, theres quite abit of time and expense gone into the car so its nice to know i've got her something like

awsome action shots. Looks like a lot of fun. the flame action rules. I have a friend with a gt35r 13b in his FC and he shot flames all day out of his duals. I really like the look on your car.

The cars running the full JDM interior that the GT comes with. They are the black Recaros that alof the other Evo's have but are slimmer to hold you in tighter. I have a full set of Defi's, in the centre console, boost and AFR on the dash. I'll try to get some pics taken.

I'm tempted the cage it and put full race seats in, but i use the car for alot of shows, and also have to drive to Europe alot for trackdays so the comforts nice to have.

I had a guy offer me silly money for the standard 9 engine, so i sold it and built the 2.4 stroker with flowed head, big valves etc.

The majority like the exhaust, and it serves a purpose too. I love it

The mirrors are great, just dont try reversing with them Seriously though, no vibration even with poly bushed engine mounts, though they dont tighten fully so you have to be careful not to move them whilst cleaning. They dont move whilst driving though, even at over 160mph.

The pump is the ACD pump, in the JDM cars it sits under behine the bumper, i had to move it for the exhaust silencer.

Rev limits 8500rpm a.t.m, though once i get solid lifters we are going to raise it to 9000rpm
