#WINNING. Is that roundel going in the collection?

rampelsauce

Yes, the box is getting wonderfully full.

Edit: Getting my 18's mounted/balanced next week. Test fits soon, and will be broadcast here.

Also, working on a deal for some snows. Picked up a new washer pump to replace my faulty one.

rampelsauce

Snows installed, on car, kickin' ass.

So, I didn't get my 18's mounted yet because I'm trying to figure out what color to power coat them.

Bronze with a black lip? Black with a bronze lip? Hmmm.

I photoshopped a crappy picture of bronze with a black lip.

Is the interior tan?

rampelsauce

Nope. Black on black, murdah'd out.

B C

I say medium-dark gray satin finish

No metallic

rampelsauce

I really like the bronze color though. Here's a sample piece I did. It's a bike hub.

Yeah i think that would look nice, all the same color though, no black/silver/purple lip

If I don't sell them, I might keep the polished lip and do the centers bronze.

It got cold so I stopped snapping pictures. No more scuba tank. Sounds pretty damn good. Throaty under load, huge difference. I'll post some post op pictures and a video with some sound. I posted an instagram video of the exhaust before I patched it, so follow me @rampelsauce.

Muffler delete. My car is like that, but quieter. Getting rid of the tank makes a huge difference.

Thanks Snap! I removed both "tanks", not just the dead end one

So my passenger side front window regulator got all messed up at the Gefrorenfahrt. I had to drive all the way home to Port Washington with the passenger window open. So I parked it in the garage because I didn't feel like messing with it til today. So here's what happened.
