r0p0doe Posted July 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 So after about two weeks of driving with my new setup this happened... My guess it's due to me wrapping my header to keep the heat down plus it's old as shit lol, anyway I ordered one up and had Mario over at TSR weld it up for me. Got the new header but waited a few weeks to install it While I waited the old pos header cracked again but in a different spot lol so when the weekend came I went a head and installed the new one I got from TEP. I got as much as I could done for the night and mocked up everything else, I would of been done that night but removing the old gasket took longer than I expected. The next morning I tightened everything down and got the rest of the exhaust out Yes I drove this thing to the muffler shop with an open header lol, it was pretty damn loud and funny to see all the people get scared and break their necks as I drove past them. The shop I was orginally going to go to was closed by time I got there so I opted for another shop just to get something put on because there was no way in hell I was going to make it a week running a open header and not get pulled over. Got it all welded up after what seem to take forever, the guy was having dificulties getting certain angles and bends. Need less to say when I fired it up to leave you could heard exhaust leaks, so one of the guys gets under the hood and says it's coming from the header and I made no fuss about it because I could take care of that at home. Long story short they did a shit job and I noticed holes in my exhaust the next day, I have an appointment with the shop I originally wanted to go to tomorrow and they are going to take care of all my leaks. Then after that I'm going to get my carbs tuned and all should be good. I'll keep ya'll updated... 3 Quote Link to comment

r0p0doe Posted July 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Time to stick a 2x4 in the trunk to drive up on whenever you need to jack! Car is sick good job! Been meaning to make some "low life" ramps just haven't bothered I've been managing without them so far although it's a pain. And luckily whatever shop I have gone to has ramps or w/e to help me get up, kind of should be standard for any shop tons of cars are low than they should be now days lol. Thanks on the compliment man I'm finally content with how my car is for now, after I get these leaks fixed and the carbs tuned I'll most likely put me a lil sound system B) 1 Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 yup great work. the new wheels are way better than the 17's. a reinforcement plate on the bottom of the oil pan would help against holes. 1 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 I saw that but I don't even wanna know how much you want for them :rofl: Let me know i even take credit cards.

r0p0doe Posted July 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 yup great work. the new wheels are way better than the 17's. a reinforcement plate on the bottom of the oil pan would help against holes. Yea the wheels had to go just too damn big lol, these worked out pretty well I must say :) Do you know of anyone who makes one ready to buy or I gotta make it myself ? 1 Quote Link to comment

r0p0doe Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 So an update.... I went to the muffler shop I originally planned on going to first thing in the morning before they opened so I would have enough time to do everything I needed to for mycar that day BUT. He was only open for a few hrs because he had a funeral to go to but he put it on a lift anyway to see what he had to deal with and boy were we in for a suprise, he pulled out his flashlight and inspected each weld from the shop that put it in and pretty much every spot the welded had a hole in it and once section that was cut to relieve stress didn't even get patched up. He wasn't happy with the work that got done and I was pissed for it being worse than I thought and actually paying for it. We talked for a bit and he's willing to stay a few hrs later than he normally dose to squeez me in during the week so I think I'm going to go back Tuesday so I can get my carbs worked on this weekend :D Quote Link to comment
r0p0doe Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 After some yard work this morning I decided to treat myself to some In-N-Out and noticed this as I was pulling out my driveway Guess I wasn't too safe Kalani :rofl: anywho I got up under the car and tried to bandage it up for now, gunna keep an eye on it and drive even more careful now...

banzai510(hainz) Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Just my thoughts. That car is cool and really needs cooler wheels. BAD ASS COLOR!!!!!!!!!Love this color on 510s The header I would go to the stock cast iron set up as I have heard mixed bag about those headers( have in in garage) and if you do install it get it cermaic coated inside and out that will help keep it cooler. Those headers the bolt holes are slightly not perfect which can shift thus burning out the gasket over time. Also make sure it matchports the intake as some gaskets that come with them are the 1.25inch hole size. as whats left on the ground? I dont know what it is. Would help to say. Oil or antifrreze. if antifreeze than is it the intake /exhaust bolts not tight or the header not really straight? If oil leak always ck the oil pressure sender or line or is this from the trans?But Im sure you know this already try 1/4 inch at a time to raise but keep the look(rake) you have as low is cool but a practival height does help. yes the jack not fitting is a pain and mine is low also. Wish I didnt run a airdam before it was put back together. Quote Link to comment
r0p0doe Posted July 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Just my thoughts. That car is cool and really needs cooler wheels. BAD ASS COLOR!!!!!!!!!Love this color on 510s Thanks but the rims fit my budget, I would of like some rare jdm rims but I can't bring myself to drop big $ and run the risk of damaging them as I daily my dime The header I would go to the stock cast iron set up as I have heard mixed bag about those headers( have in in garage) and if you do install it get it cermaic coated inside and out that will help keep it cooler. Temp has actually been better compared to the old one I was running from them, I am taking extra percautions to keep it cool under the hood as well Those headers the bolt holes are slightly not perfect which can shift thus burning out the gasket over time. Also make sure it matchports the intake as some gaskets that come with them are the 1.25inch hole size. Everything was all good man :thumbup: as whats left on the ground? I dont know what it is. Would help to say. Oil or antifrreze. if antifreeze than is it the intake /exhaust bolts not tight or the header not really straight? If oil leak always ck the oil pressure sender or line or is this from the trans?But Im sure you know this already It's oil coming from the plug due to scraping and being "too low" try 1/4 inch at a time to raise but keep the look(rake) you have as low is cool but a practival height does help. yes the jack not fitting is a pain and mine is low also. Wish I didnt run a airdam before it was put back together. 1 Quote Link to comment
