zzp or bust

[04IonQC]

zzp doesnt have shorty headers and im not paying 400+ for some tubing and a flexi pipe thats known to bake

I got the downpipe installed and it is a really noticeable improvement in the top end, so if anyone is thinking about doing it but still not sure....do it!

also I got the Moroso muffler in as well, I love it, no more loud annoying civic noise, its basically stock with a bit more grumble, only people who want to could tell that its after market, so no more "racing" everybody after a light turns green

I will get sound clips up later today or tomorrow

sounds like a lot of good things happening in one post haha

Keep up the good work!

[06_ion2]

Whats not to like about people wanting to race from lights all the time?

[04IonQC]

im just sick of accelerating normally and people next to me flooring it like idiots, then when I eventually pass them they give me this smug look like "i won" its just annoying

lol

[04IonQC]

So apparently Im the only one (out of the thousand people doing this mod now) that put the LEDs across the whole bottom of my light, tell me what you think
I know crappy pics but my car was parked up to a wall and im too lazy to move it



There will be more updates if the fucking post office ever decides to give me Coppertop's subframe brace.....2 days from Torono to Chicago, but the 40ml drive to Carpentersville takes 10 days, that makes sense )

and also since I know you are all dying to hear what the Moroso muffler sounds like ill get a vid-clip of that soon

[04IonQC]

Got a bunch more stuff done to the car, first off Is new rear shocks....not a big thing but just thought Id show how blown my shocks were
I could do this by hand.


Then I finally got Coppertop's Subframe brace in
I was expecting a difference but WOW this is amazing, I think coupled with a rear say-bar the car will be solid as a rock through turns


Working into the night installing it (I thought it was just a 5 min install putting some screwed through some holes but damn those screws turned out to be a bitch (i did very little work on this because I was too weak to tighten the screws haha)


And also got some vids of the Moroso muffler installed

and just my other project (my buddys 68 Mustang) I got to drive it today for the first time since we started work on it 2 years ago so here are some pics....still not finished


oo000ooo shinny (completely re-built from short block by us)

289/302?

[04IonQC]

289, just put a new distributor cap on today and it runs like a dream, although we broke a stud on an exhaust manifold so that puts us back.....but it sounds sex

[04IonQC]

Went to the drag strip today and............ well it didnt go quite as fast as I would like it to go, my best time was a 16.42 but it was still fun

I met a RL driver, and for someone who couldnt drive for shit (bounced of the rev-limiter ever shift), he sure did talk some crap.

btw got a rear-sway bar in the mail so should update again soon

[06_ion2]

Sorry man its still not a audi.

[04IonQC]

Sorry man its still not a audi.

haha I know, they are coming off soon, although I get some thumbs up I started to get bored of them

[06ion2coup]

hey track experience is track experience, so what if you didnt get your goal time, its all about improvement am i right?

Keep up the work im sure you can get closer and closer to 15's

[04IonQC]

little update, Audi lights are off

also Im having a hard time deciding on my next mod so if people with these mods can chime in that would be great

it will either be a...
-Rear anti-sway bar
or
- FE-5 shocks/struts

Eventually Ill have both but I just want to know which to do first

Thanks
