^^ All in good time matey.

 

I know what it's like waiting for something, ..but trust me it will be worth the wait.

Hmmm work of art i think your being over generous but thanks

[GMballistic]

Your video skills are definitely improving Andy.

[andybp]

so got a bit done today

this is how i finished a couple of weeks back

 

 

got the drivers side tail pipe on this weekend

 

 

and today got the passenger side tailpipe fabricated

 

 

and welded on along with the mounting

 

 

here it is all fitted

 

 

the only thing left is to connect the wastegate into the tailpipe and make a couple of gaskets obviously i had to run it up and it sounds f***ing awesome seriously f***ing awesome i nearly had to touch myself it was so good

[GMballistic]

Frankenzorst lives!!!

have to say it would be worth it just for the sound alone without any power increase this smiley was me when i started it up

[GMballistic]

^^ That's good then. Nice that just the sound alone can bring such joy.

couple of pics of the setup off the car gives a better idea of the new layout had to put a 90 Deg bend on the drivers side due to a lack of space

 

 

 

 

the only thing left is the flexi pipe from the wastegate to the back of the tailpipe

 

 

really hard trying to weld flexi to a thick flange like this as its so thin get careless and you just blow holes through it as you can see still a bit hot just got to cut hole hole in back of tailpipe and weld it on

will get it finished tomorrow night.

[GMballistic]

^^ Very interesting pictures.

[andybp]

got the last bit done today the flexi pipe from the wastegate into the tailpipe just got to make some gaskets and thats pretty much it until my insurance is due next year it's gonna seem like forever

Tremendous work on this, kudos for doing all the hard bits yourself. Skillz.

[Neilp]

[andybp]

 

hopefully pretty soon i'll be able to do my mad scientist impression and shout "It lives it lives"

yea i'm one of the odd people who enjoys spending hours in the garage accidentally burning bashing cutting and generally hurting myself, getting angry and frustrated when things don't go as planned but the sense of achievement is worth it

[andybp]

can't wait to see the dyno run on this!

sadly that will have to wait until May as my insurance co. are being awkward and i cant put it on the road like it until i change insurer

[andybp]

so i haven't had any updates for you lately i was hoping to get it all bolted up and plumbed before Christmas so when my insurance is due in may i could swap it over and get on with tuning it

but I've had something of a big health scare gonna be laid up for another month but hopefully if the doctors and the missus let me i'll be back in the garage early next year and i can get this thing finished

really need to my hands are getting all soft people will be mistaking me for a girl soon and i'm a man god damn it!

Sorry to read about that Andy.

 

Wish you all the best mate and a speedy recovery especially at this time of year when really everyone should just be enjoying it. The car can wait, ..health comes first.

[Neilp]

Sorry to hear about that Andy! Hope all is well sooner rather than later and you back out finishing this project off!

 

Best wishes mate
