How many exhausts do you want to get through? lol

 

[Christopher]

Going back to side-exit now?

Looks awesome, as always!

Are you coming to KK tonight dude?

 

[Winston]

lol... it will be exhaust number 4 lol.... just a normal ktec sidey.. for now lol

hmmmmm cars in one piece for KK... but helping my my mate fit his coilovers so maybe not... see what the weathers doing

 

[Chrisjk]

New rear bumper as well? Is the intercooler staying put save butchering the new bumper then?

 

[Iridium]

That floor is cool Never seen that done, or anything like it before!

 

[Limca]

get some proper wheels on that!!

 

[Winston]

^Could say the same to you ^

I couldn't bring my self to cut the new bumper up and the intercooler fills the grill nicely... new rear as well

 

[Alex_X93]

Put the intercooler behind a standard r5 grill but in front of radiator u will need a shortened altenator belt + some mounting points. K tec side exit + their rumble pipe, tubular manifold would complement nicley also think bb tunning mite do a good tubular mani now too..

 

[Winston]

I deffo need the fatter Cross over pipe.... the standards super skinny

Still can't beleave a KTEC sidey is loads louder than my front exit is.... Turbo'd Tractor FTW

 

[Winston]

Not done much to the car this weekend... but the parts are piling up tho

I helped a mate clear his unit over the weekend and just had to go get the camera and 5 when we had finished... Shite cam may i add... thank god for Jords filter skillz lol

Ghetto baby :lol:

 

[f0xy]

look a bit blue

 

[Winston]

No filter can fully tackle the blue lol

 

[snick01]

looking good, you gonna get them steelies banded then?

 

[Winston]

Just waiting for my bonus

 

[Alex_X93]

Standard bumper/grill on and the bad boy bonnet off, looking fine already tho 13's make it.

 

[Winston]

^cheers man ^

Small up date

My enlarged cross pipe has arrived... small problem my T2 elbow does not fit my T25... no drilling or cutting will make it fit lol

 

[Iridium]

D'oh! I don't know anything about the mechanics, but if it doesn't fit that's never cool is it

 

[Winston]

I will sort something

Sidey ready to go on

Heres an OG GTT badge I polished to sell... but I kinda want to keep it now lol

 

[BioHzrd]

brrrraaaaappp !

 

[Phoenix]

side exit ftw!

 

[superbenji88]

that badge looks sweet, i would keep it for the car

 

[Winston]

Sorry but the badge is going on ebay at weekend

Every car should have a side exit TBH

 

[Darren S]

Have you approached the Oxford Dictionary people about trademarking "Winstonising"?

Surely there must be many royalties to be made from the name?

D.

 

[Limca]

excellent

 

[.Gem.]

Just sat and read through the whole thread lol

Brilliant car, brilliant pictures, great lil project! Looking forward to reading more.......

I'm part of the side exit club
they are nice and loud

 

[Alex_X93]

You can get a machined/enlarged elbow also if I remember correctly.

 

[Winston]

You can from Ktec n the likes but its still T2 fitment... this is an real odd ball of a T25 from a saab.. looking like a custom jobbie

 

[superbenji88]

so side exit exhausts have any benifits?

 

[Winston]

What ktec say

 

[superbenji88]

they speak good words, i like the look of the exhaust at the rear in its little cut out

 

[*Danny*]

nearly legal again then mate... you going tonight then if you fit it

 

[superbenji88]

sorry if i seem thick with these questions, but how was his exhaust illegal?

 

[Winston]

Exhausts have to exit behind the front wheel.... Thus why i removed the frontie.... Sidey is legal so next best thing imo

Not going to be rolling again till ive sorted this mess with the elbow Danny

 

[superbenji88]

ahhhhhhhhh i see, so your having it just behind the front wheel?

 

[Phoenix]

go one step better winston n have dual side exit

 

[Phoenix]

side exits are usually just in front of the back wheel
