Here are some pictures of our custom midpipe / downpipe. Please overlook the o2 bung. Also added a flex section as you can see.

Here are a few more updates. Take a look at JIC Majic's welding on the y-pipe, not the greatest especially considering they are machines welds.

Here's an idea for you guys that might have wondered how the HKS GT2835 turbo kit would fit into a GS300.

Last, a picture showing the clearance between our custom intake manifold and also the brake boost / ABS unit. We had to also modify the stock low pressure AC line a little for the intake manifold to fit.

Here are a couple of pictures of the hotpipe -

Very nice work!

**SpottedMango** · 07-24-2007, 10:09 PM

Here's the custom overflow tank that was fabbed up in about 2 hours. Forgive the welds, we are in a HURRRRRRY!

Need an English wheel - but it's OK!

Cirlce = cap

Here's it is 'in' the car -

**SpottedMango** · 07-24-2007, 10:14 PM

Well, not too much updates on the car itself, the engine bay has been completely taken a part again, awaiting chroming of parts.

Here's the first section of a few sub enclosures that will be spicing up the trunk area!

I will be running 4 Alpine Type R 12s. I am not too much into stereo, but since this will represent me at car shows, we are going all out. All air space have been correctly measured, the subs in this particular box will not be inverted like the picture, but you guys have an idea what it can look like. There are going to be 4 main parts to this custom enclosure, stay tuned!

**SpottedMango** · 07-24-2007, 10:15 PM

Here's the fitment of the main box, use your imagination for the other 3. Again, there will be a total of at least 4 main sections to the stereo system in the trunk. When I say 'at least', we are also looking into maybe plexiglassing a portion of the box.

Still trying to figure out the configuration, but this is the second portion. Remember, the entire trunk will be fiberglassed!

Here's the finalized amp rack, fiberglassing will hopefully come tomorrow.
