Hehe, no updates until I get it back and put some miles on it, get the new exhaust on, the new high-compression motor, and the built tranny

Should be interesting, we're doubling the line pressure on the auto and revalving it, it's got shaved heads, and a 2.5" header-back waiting to go on (note: Borla headers sound like crap dumping into the stock cats/1.75" piping.) Then I'll get some dyno numbers......

Should be nice......

Here's a pic awaiting the tranny rebuild, with the winter wheels/tires on......

Hahah- werd to that one- Do you have the dual or single-port model? I've got a single port on my 2.2 wagon- and it's vibrating like hell at low speeds/RPMs... I think it's the part where the two pipes run parallel next to each other that's vibrating- maybe I need to wrap just that section...? Anyway- I'm getting a cat-back installed on Monday... we'll see if that does anything for the sound.

Sounds like you should get some nice results... It's nice to know someone else is taking the effort to put so much work into an A/T wagon-

2.5's have dual exhaust ports, so I've got 2 pipes on each side. My stock heatshields make much more racket than the headers, but I can hear the exhaust pulses hitting my clogged cats

Should have the exhaust on in a couple weeks, when I have time on a weekend to get the car to the shop for a day for fab, then I'll have some dyno numbers.

Got my Morettes on, finally. Plug and play install, couldn't be easier. The difference is remarkable; there's a ton more usable, targeted light, and I barely need high beams anymore. Highly recommended.

Also, slammed the car on the new springs and put on the winter wheels/tires so that I can use the car as a snowplow

Hehe, those wheels will only be on there for the trip to Reno.

I'm selling them to Nate for his drift car, then mounting some real all seasons on my black PC'd 99's that are currently on the Coupe.
Will be the hotness

Haha, nice!
I'm never getting rid of the Grams, they fit the car perfectly; RE070's just aren't good snow tires

Threw it on the dyno



With 2 clogged cats, stock exhaust, and borked O2 sensor and knock sensor, it put down a blistering 104hp/115tq

More dyno runs after everything's fixed, we just wanted to get a baseline
