LaidoutRivi63 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I probably won't make it this month. I have a customer car on the lift and I still haven't done the exhaust on the wagon. Its much too fumy in the car to drive long distances because the exhaust is straight from the manifold right now. Ill try and post some more pictures soon, I'm running 6" stroke Bilstien small body circle track shocks in the rear. I bent a new fuel line that runs safely through the drive shaft tunnel. I also ordered a supercharger and will be setting that all up in a couple months. I have all my exhaust parts (tube, bends, hangers, etc.) but haven't chosen a muffler yet. Any suggestions? I am thinking of running a dynomax ultra flow welded muffler. The whole system will be 2.5" and will include a new header that i will build to accompany my new intake manifold for the supercharger.

LaidoutRivi63 Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Well, it has been a while. I have been working on a ton of things, and school has taken the majority of my time. I thought I would post some of my latest progressions. These are not done yet, they will get a sheetmetal piece at the bottom that will tighten up the hole the shocks pass through, and I am making some 50 shore urethane gaskets to seal the opening in which they pivot. not quite finished yet... 5 Quote Link to comment
LaidoutRivi63 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Just finished a customer project that has been holding me up, so I will be getting the wagon all finished up for myself. Current progress puts me at cars & coffee in Irvine on July 12th. If anyone is going, please stop by, check things out, and say hi! Should have the shocks all done and the exhaust run by then. 2 Quote Link to comment
LaidoutRivi63 Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Shocks done, Just a little shrouding and some urethane gaskets and the whole setup is finished Tackled the exhaust yesterday! Cut the down pipe, tucked it closer to the transmission, and opened the end up to match 2.5". No muffler, hasn't come in the mail. So in the meantime I ran a straight section to the bumper. When the muffler comes, I will do the tailpipe section, from the crossmember flange back, in stainless. Forgive the picture dump, I'm quite proud of how nice the exhaust routing turned out. Everything is tucked up very tight and I haven't had any issues with scraping beyond coming into and out of my driveway. Only part that hangs down is the flange at the downpipe, and that is only about a half inch or so below the scrubline. Hope to see some of you Saturday morning in Irvine! If you are there and see the car, come by and say hi! 4 Quote Link to comment

EastBay521 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 This is TITS!!!!!! so bad ass. and you have a lift at your house I envy you :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
'70dime Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Do you have a flex joint in the exhaust anywhere? Just thinkin to my self I think it would constantly blow out collector gaskets with the engine being able to move and the exhaust hard mounted. Quote Link to comment
LaidoutRivi63 Posted July 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 I had some flex joints, but due to the car being so low, I couldn't find anywhere to put it that wouldn't either push the exhaust into a ground pounding area or push the exhaust up against the floor boards. Time will tell... The flanges at the manifold/downpipe are thicker than the others also. I drove it to my university today, and its way too loud to keep driving it this way. I just rush shipped my muffler from amazon, so hopefully I can get the tailpipe section quickly setup with the muffler before Friday. Otherwise, she rides great! Conquered the shitty socal freeways and made about 60 miles worth of driving so far. Only issue I have been having is fuel pukes out my vent filter a bit, so Thursday I need to mount the vent higher above the top level of the tank. I think when fuel sloshes around with driving, it forces fuel up the vent tube. Hopefully an easy fix. Quote Link to comment
LaidoutRivi63 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I was finishing up the shrouding around the shocks the other day and carelessly plasma cut my hand, so in the days letting my 2nd degree burn heal to prevent infection, I'm trying to figure out some final details. Any ideas on how to alternatively light the license plate? I'm removing and shaving the stock lights and would like to do something that isn't noticeable. I thought about machining a frame that could house so LEDs but maybe someone has a better idea? Quote Link to comment
Abe Froman Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 There are bolt lights that are the easiest way to go, here is a example. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stainles-LED-License-Plate-Bolt-Lights-Motorcycle-Auto-/301132628561?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item461ce74251&vxp=mtr Quote Link to comment
LaidoutRivi63 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 those are cool, I might make my own frame with a covered light strip though. Quote Link to comment
Duke Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I haven't had license plate lights on my car for at least the last 9 years or so. I have never been pulled over for it. I wouldn't worry about it personally. Quote Link to comment
