Yeah always had a soft spot since he got one and yeah his is black but hasnt been on the road for over a year... And there is always the itch to hear vtec kick in right behind your ears.....post-100668-13769932567054_thumb.jpg

So am thinking of buying a single piece front/dump pipe. Anyone have experience installing this without a car hoist? I figure its possible just with stands but have a feeling this could be a bitch?

I got a Just Jap Stainless Bellmouth, got it installed as I REALLY didn't want to deal with Snapped Bolts and Studs in the Turbo etc...

It needed a bit of tweaking of the Flange *giggles* to get it to fit. (apparently china pipes are like that)...

Was quoted $120 at Roadway Exhaust in Belco and $150 at Trojan. Trojan won. They replaced all bolts with studs and use Genuine Gaskets.

(not those Crappy silver ones with holes in them)

I have pulled my Frontpipe of before using axle stands etc... It's fiddly under there but as long as everything lines up and nothing breaks. You may be lucky.

Yeah seriously some people are f**king RETARDS on that page. Some of them don't even post text with the pictures....it's like cool story bro nice pics, but what in the actual f**k was the point to posting them? Oh, you want to sell something? Well, what? The wheels? The panels? The whole thing? You DON'T want to consider swaps? Here, I'll give you $5. You're offended at my stupid offer?? Well what the f**k did you expect?

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
