Dann_m Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Posted January 3, 2010 ok so i woke up quite late today had a hard night lol, hit up auto barn for some paint and sand paper, Painted the door trims and bumpers along with the grill all gloss / matte was like in between black. Let me know what use think! This is just about done for the body work. time to start looking into the engine, i have to fix this throttle problem I'm going to use keiths idea wich is to hang up the cable and lube it up once in a while to get things moving inside. if that doesnt work i'll have to look into other things. I'm currently looking for a decent carby set up for it, and i'll be installing the new 2inch exhaust system with extractors this week hopefully! ;) i've been quite lazy lately i hate wiring things up but i'll have to install my head unit and splits soon :lolcry: so boring without sounds. thats it for the mean time thanks, Quote

Dann_m Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Posted January 6, 2010 Yeah man look good...What was the total cost of extractors and exhaust (put on and bought)? i went to perfomance pipes in acia ridge, extractors and 2inch system with cannon came to, $450 all up drive in and drive out, with there parts like gaskets etc. great system tho. wouldnt want much bigger and has added abit more power to the little 4k :S cheers.

I'm going to look into something similar in the next few months. Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 thats not a bad price, good to know. Quote
Dann_m Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Posted January 6, 2010 thats not a bad price, good to know. yeah they do a pretty decent job aswell seeming as extractors are hard enough to put in, Right price exhaust quoted me 300 - 350 for the same deal, but that would have been with some shitty $50 cannon, i asked for a decent one and paid about 100 for it. so I'm not complaining.
