    Twin pipes

    dnt knw wats the best for a pinto but i presume a 2 1/4 straight thru one pipe would be your best bet, couple of cobys or summit. talk to a exhaust shop that knows about proper performance and hav been doin it for a while i.e not chains like pitstop, more like ur small stingy exhaust shop, where the guy is covered in grease, even tho u dont get covered in grease from exhaust work, but he sometimes finds time to, and hasnt washed in at least a month.

  15. ok, so, started off as most do, was going to be a perfectly standard car. That lasted a little while, I got the modified ball rolling when I tinted the windows. That wasnt quite enough, so I modified the exhaust making it a custom twin 2" system with four cobys, no mufflers (its not quiet), It went on from there Stayed like this for a while, until after having a too good of a time going round and round on the beach, I unfortunatly didnt keep my eye on the temperature gauge and overheated it big time. Luckily the only damage was a headgasket that didnt really go for a while later. Whilst the head was off it seemed stupid not to do any modifing on it, my mechanic loved the idea. Luckiy I have a race mechanic that worked on a E24 bathurst car , whilst the head was only "lightly" modified when the head came off with, lightly ported inlet and exhaust ports "blueprinted", inlet and exhaust manifolds port matched, valves ground down and polished, head slightly skimmed and the valve seats rounded off. While in was in the shop, I decided to do a couple of aesthetic mods consisting of colour coding some mirrors and removing the factory pinstripe The head is to come off again, hopefully sometime this year, to do a more aggressive porting job and a cam. Once again stayed this for a while, chucked some decent brake pads at it, and put it on the track a couple of times, lets just say, the auto wasnt cutting it out there. After saving some money I brought a 528i 5spd parts car and my mechanic once again got stuck into my car. After huge dilemmas after trying to find a motronic flywheel, I got told by a BMW wrecker "oh yeah, the boss is got one of those in his shed I think". Fortunatly his boss did, unfortunatly, being a wrecker, he knew what it was worth, lets just say I paid a pretty penny and not keen to wreck this one. Finally she came out of the shop, much more delayed than I thought, but was a huge change. Totally different car, takes off amazingly in third, my 13yo brothers eyes went as wide as dinner plates when I took him for a ride. Lastest mods that have happened are a full suspension overhall including jamex superlow springs and custom machined celica/pajero kyb shocks. The gearbox has recently been changed to a box out of a E12 M535i that I picked up for a measily $500. Custom alloy sump plate also. Heres some pics as it stands now what exhaust ports used to be like (excuse crude drawing) and incase I forgot anything Rims/Tyres E34 15x7 BBS "Basketweaves" Toyo Proxy4 225/50R15 Suspension Jamex Super Lows Custom KYB Short Shocks, 4WD Mitsubishi Pajero shocks for the rear, 4WD Toyota Celica shocks for the front, machined to fit. Brakes Ferodo Excel Pads front and rear Drivetrain Converted to 5spd Manual Factory 3.07LSD Exterior Removed pin stripe Colour coded mirrors 35% all round tinted windows Polished alloy sump plate Smoked Front and Side indicators Interior Factory electric seats with arm rests Factory Mtech1 three spoke steering wheel Engine M30B34 High Compression motor (10:1) K&N flat panel Ported inlet and exhaust ports Inlet and exhaust manifolds port matched Valves ground down and polished Head skimmed Valve seats rounded Polished intake manifold and rocker cover Exhaust Twin 2" custom exhaust with 2 cobys per pipe with twin 2.5" inward rolled tips Discussion: //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/18316-sparkles-5/?hl=sparkles sparkle

    The Shock Poll

    would get Konis if i cud, but they dont make them for my car, they did for the front, but are now NLA I currently have factory Mtech bilsteins with factory Mtech springs, looking to get the bilsteins revalved to a B8 (sport) spec, apparently Autolign do them, anyone had any experiences with revalvd shocks? Or should i just buy new bilsteins? (avalible)
  18. strip out, straight out, side out exhaust take off the air filter (baddass induction roar y0) shud cost you bout $50 if that all up, probably will give you next to no power, but my god will it be badass...
  19. cam means 5 is always in the garage, ie mechanics, thank god for graeme
  20. totally different cars, my 5 rules, got masses of torque and is way faster top end than the lancer, for low down i think the EX wud prolly pwn the 5, but hopefully that will change when i change to manual, i dig mine more looks wise and gta be mega with the kit on saying that tho, the EX rules so hard, i really dig that car at the mo, looks so wickd in white, and i love the strippd out white car look, the sigma wheels with paintd centres and polishd lip looks absolutley fantastic. with a mint rear bumper with chrome trim and a front lip it will be fuckn awsum, also anutha thing that cam wins out on me is the price, hes done a wickd conversion in a mint lancer, all up costing less than 2g? awsum both cars rule mega as.
  21. heres not hopin.... na i dno, anything that fucks out from now i prlly gna replace with something better anyway eg tranny, ecu etc etc
  22. yuh sigma ruled mega breaks down about every 2 months on average
