Let's see your ride

Why thank you, George! That's very generous of you!

And just as an update, my Motordyne ART pipes came in today! I called up a shop over in Winter Haven that my brother uses (they're right next door to his office and literally right down the street from the crappy Fiat dealership that my brothers and I bought our Abarths from. I'm headed over in the morning to have the exhaust installed!

And for some odd reason, my phone isn't automatically uploading the pics to my PC. Once I figure that out, I'll post up a couple pics of the pipes. I'll take pics of the install tomorrow and post those as well.
 
I don't know what's going on with the phone/PC uploads, so I had to email myself the pics. LOL

Charles, I swear I saw some audio equipment in one of those pictures. Shocked the crap out of me :D...

LOL! Yeah Randy. Here lately it's just been getting used on a daily basis. Nothing has changed with it in a while since I got those Martin Logan's. The Outlaw sub is still sitting there with the dead amp. I'll get around to it eventually, but it's only really needed for movies, which we don't watch that many of.


As for the Z, I got the exhaust installed today. Unfortunately though, due to time constraints and mainly technical difficulty, the Motordyne ART test pipes weren't installed.

Anyway, here's a pic of the stock exhaust with the axle back muffler delete section...

And here's the HKS system installed, just before the tips were installed...

I think I'm going to push in those tips a bit more also...

Thanks George! I wish I was able to get the ART pipes installed as well, BUT maybe it's a blessing in disguise. If I can sell off a few things soon enough, I can order a set of headers and just have those installed instead of screwing around with the stock ones (which are actually quite good tubular headers to begin with). Just drop those stockers with the cats still mounted and throw on the new headers.

I think your tail pipes are burning up. They are turning blue. :P Nice pics as always sir!

LOL! Yeah, I'm not too keen on the blue stuff, but that's the way they come. I did slide those tips back about a half inch today though. Now they're even with the edge of the bumper cut-outs, so it looks much better.

And man, I sure hope those Motordyne pipes bump up the output of this exhaust. It sounds good, but just too quiet again... Nearly stock, but with bite.
 
Speaking of getting things... Arriving tomorrow sometime is the Z1 intake for my car, followed by the EcuTek ProECU programmer a couple days later.

Mine will be all black...

And of course, the tuner which will include a plethora of user adjustable parameters on the fly such as launch control, traction control, retard/advance timing, oil temp gauge hi-jack to display AFR, timing, Lambda, Tachometer hi-jack for switching between various tunes including different tunes for 93 octane and E85, and RPM for launch control. All accessible via the steering wheel cruise control buttons.

I need to find me some GT-R injectors so I can run E85 on this little beast. Luckily, there's a station right down the street that has it!
