Awd mp5

Got bored. Pulled the hatch.. The mid spoiler is now mounted Pics later.

Needs more work. At least it's mounted though.

Looks good bro i cant wait to mount mine but it needs some persuading lol gotta modify the stock mounts

[jinx]

It's not all thaaat bad. Basically a rip off of the GTR spoiler. I like it.. Downside is the hatch is garbage without now. A good highway trip should allow me to determine whether or not it's going to be an improvement or a problem. Need to remove the tint while I have it out

Started messing with the exhaust a little bit tonight. It looks like at this point that my stuff from the egt will work without much work. So far it looks like I'll only need to take about 4" from the very rear between the muffler and the subframe section. I may need to lengthen it up front around 4" when I go to redo my downpipe. Not bad.. less work makes me happy! Will be ordering some new Tokico blues / Tokico springs for it. Need to redo the braking system completely.. Need to pick up a probe/626 subframe and lca's. The list goes on. Lots more work to come

Old pics of my exhaust. zx2 trubendz 2.5" kit thats slightly modified.

Got a lil further on the exhaust! However, I need to shorten it in a few areas. Nothing major. It's just a tighter setup then the BG was.

After fussing with the exhaust some, I'm leaning towards getting a fuel cell for it now. I'd likely end up having to do it when I start doing the awd conversion anyways.

Dual tip centered exhaust ?

is the fuel tank that much in the way??? any pictures of the OE routing on that beast?

No, I'm tucking it as close to the passenger side of the tunnel as I can get it for the future addition of a driveshaft.

For a driveshaft to clear, yes. The exhaust? Not so much, but, I also need to plan ahead for said near future mods, so I'm not wasting my money while it's still FWD.

[FE3-323]

it can be semi expensive. but have you looked into oval tubing in the tighter areas of the tunnel? that'll help give you alot more clearance for the driveshaft

Looks like I'll be busy at least for a lil while.. I bought an Arduino to toy with!

no clue what that is, but all the luck man lol.

P.S. got those rear strut bar brackets finally, just gotta get em boxed up and they'll be out hopefully tomorrow or monday

Arduino in short, is an open source electronics prototyping platform. Useful for making all kinds of goodies PM'd about the brackets!
