Stroud

It is becoming a reality

Preview: Molded gauges in an s13

We were slow at work today, so I started working on ken’s gauges.

Under the knife

One last pic before it goes on jack stands once again.  January plans include new exhaust and a revised engine cradle that gives the engine more ground clearance and doesn’t weigh 1000lbs.  Maybe a hood too.  Who knows, we’ll see.  Maybe not.

New exhaust preview

So I’m thinking something along the lines of this: Dual 3″ out of the 1 7/8″ longtube headers to dual 2.5″ to a ss magnaflow muffler to dual 2.5″ again to dual 3″ ss tips. Should be louder than my apexi n1 was haha. Hopefully I don’t wake up too many neighbors!

Sup.

Look what came in today

Small update on my fd

When I bought my car, it had had one stripped lugstud on each rear wheel. I finally dove into replacing them. You would think it would be easy, right? Wrong. Mazda engineered the rear hub assembly to where you must remove and replace the wheel bearings in order to get the new lugstuds in. Also, I ordered something to replace that ugly coffeecan.

Kate is coming back!

About to start working on Kate again, finally.  I’ve got my last final tomorrow, and then it’s on to wrenching again!  I’ve got a lot of projects this winter break and not enough time.  Here are a couple of pics from a Dallas show this past October.

Definitely needs some work before the 2010 events start!

Cobalt beets

I did a cheap stereo in a chevy cobalt today. It turned out kind of dope.
