aNAlUBé, a tribute profile Options

[akamiami]

In the vein of what xian and gsx are doing, I'm whoring a thread of my own to sing the praises of my UNBREAKABLE DSM!!!! It's like bruce willis on unbreakable. absolutely nothing phases this monster, not 7k rev launches, crazy quick downshifts, curbs, 89 octane fuel, bad language, conventional oil, leaded diesel fuel....NOTHING! MWA HA HA!


Right now I'm welding in a roll cage. There is a pic on my garage profile.

Also, the speed glass is installed and is sooo sweet. The rear window is already scratched to hell and it's like having tint but not the type of tint that blocks any of the sun, just the effect of it where you can't see out the rear view window very well because it makes it seem like you've got cataracts and everything is blurry and indistinguishable. I guess next time I'll try saran wrap since I've never seen that stuff scratch or crack and it's very flexible.

The speed holes and custom license plate are rather fancy and I think add style to the ride that was lacking. Now it's a venerable show car, and as soon as the faux fur steering wheel cover and neon dash trim kit arrive, I'll go pimp the car show scene like I do the local junior highs. That's right all you pre-teen honeys out there. I'm 24 and I've got a drivers license. Wanna ride to the orthodontist to get your braces tightened? No problem, I'm all 'bout that shi-at.

Nice.

[eclipgst]

Nicely put but i thought you were searching for those pre-teen bitches that dont have there wings yet. Once they get there braces tightend its all down hill from there.

[Coiled]

I've got a case of bubble yum, you got any use for that? If not I know teh junior high bishes love that shiz.

[awd4kicks]

Hahaha...that is a sweet a$$ license plate and those speed holes from Hell ROCK!

aNAlUBé = teh official ghetto fab project car

very nice

Looking good.

Buy some dam Lexan grade MR-10 you cheap ass! Also, I think for a roll cage to be certified and approved, you have to have it TIG welded. I'll have a TIG in a month or two, so we might be able to use that. Call Eric Vicary and ask, I'm sure he'd know.

[akamiami]

I've always heard it just can't be flux-core migged or stick welded. I'm not doing it for the certification though. I'll leave all that rulebook racing to the pros.

like i said before... all credit goes to gsx.. not only am i a whore, but also a theif. it was his idea, i just liked it...

wow kris, i've never seen you post with such humor? lfmfao...

[ranta18]

I kind of figured you didn't care, but then I wondered why you're putting in a cage in the first place unless you just want it to stiffen up the chassis. Can't wait to see it installed.

I could have gotten you a chromoly 6pt cage for around $300. The main hoop is bent and it comes with 4 other tubes that you have to cut and notch yourself. $600 for one that is pre-cut and notched.

[natedogg]

Sounds like a fun project! Can't wait to see it.

[awd4kicks]

Now that your putting a cage in you know this means that you're gonna have a true 'Race' car like Nates right!?!?!

[akamiami]

I think I'm safe because bernie has a bolt in cusco cage in his JDM silvia and it's still street. Unless the weld in takes it out of street class in the OIORR (odorless imports official race rules) I'll be able to continue to drive it on the street.

[ranta18]

A bolt in cage? LOL. What a tool. Doesn't that make his car not street legal according to the OIORR. I didn't have a dash and that was in violation, so a cage must be.

[xian 1g]

mmmmnnn... nice speed holes. they look nicer than benny z's

[ranta18]

Kris - Whats the update? Did you get my voice message from the weekend? Are you on the list or no? Bring your car to NOPI and shut him up...LOL

[akamiami]

bump for new pics in the car-hold. for not breaking this car sure has a lot of downtime....

[badbu68]

You have one too many big holes in your bumper otherwise it'd look like your template was a giant 4 cyl head gasket.

[akamiami]

not gonna let this thread die....

I've become increasingly aware over time that the exhaust on the GSX is just plain loud and now I'm past the whole 'coolness' of it and gotten over how neat it is to hear a loud raspy exhaust particularly when driving under overpasses or in tunnels (yes, my car will fit in moushon's anal passage and sounds pretty deep in the process).

anywho, as a solution, I've decided to augment my exhaust with not one but two straight through resonators. They are 3" inlet/outlet with a perforated core as opposed to louvered, which would have further reduced noise but at the cost of perhaps a psi or two of unwanted backpressure. I chose two because I really really want this thing quiet, not just a little tame. You've got to agree, a huge exhaust pipe on a turbo dsm sounds good, but it doesn't compare to the whistle of a high psi turbo spool.

The resonators should be arriving soon, and I'll be well documenting the install process with before and after video/sound clips of the exhaust along with more information on the parts and processes used.
