Cool build. Subscribed

mothon · 11-29-2009, 09:33 PM

Do you have anymore pics of the finished frame notch?

95KA-Turbo · 11-29-2009, 09:36 PM

Thanks for the pictures Danny!

I should hopefully be able to get my camera to actually connect to my computer today. It's messed up the past 3 times I've tried to do it!

95KA-Turbo · 11-29-2009, 10:31 PM

Ok, so here are some of my pictures finally:

Engine bay before primer/paint:

Door bars right after they were tacked in place:

Somethings missing?

You can see just how much extra room there is in the fender wells now:

Engine bay after primer/sealer:

Powered by Max Subframe Risers installed!

These goodies arrived in the mail about a week and a half ago:

Everything was packed extremely well:

I'm very pleased with the quality of all of the Sikky parts. Considering they they offer CNCed motor mounts and excellent craftsmanship the Sikky kit is extremely well priced and nearly makes the swap a bolt on procedure.

Check out their website here: High Performance Auto Parts :: SIKKY Manufacturing

Royal_T · 11-30-2009, 12:53 AM

Their customer service is excellent. When I ordered the kit they told me to give them a call if I have any trouble or issues with the install along the way. I also received the whole kit the day after I ordered it. I know they're only one state away from me, but that is still impressive!

I will be doing a write up of their kit with LOTS of pictures when I actually finish the installation.

conrad_s13.5 · 11-30-2009, 08:38 AM

punxva · 11-30-2009, 08:50 AM

Damn everything is coming together nicely Sknoop. I really need to get danny to make me a cage sometime soon. His door bars look awesome.

subscribed! i love it!

JDM Sil4ty · 11-30-2009, 02:12 PM

oh yea !!!! NICE build you got going on man ..

mothon · 11-30-2009, 02:54 PM

I didn't see any pics of headers in the pics. Are going to run long tubes? What brand? Custom?

95KA-Turbo · 11-30-2009, 03:46 PM

I was hoping I could run the Sikky long tubes, but they hang down a little past the frame rails. I am running some shorty headers they used to mock up for their long tubes though. They're just hooker block huggers with 3" tubes coming off of them that go around the steering column.

I am going to make a 3" oval Y-pipe and I haven't decided if I want to tie it into my 3" Trust DD I have sitting in my living room or if I should sell that and make a full oval exhaust so I don't destroy the DD.

Royal_T · 11-30-2009, 07:36 PM

Thanks 95KA-Turbo for the info about Sikky, can't wait for more pics

datboibrad · 11-30-2009, 10:43 PM

pics of the block huggers your referring to?

95KA-Turbo · 12-01-2009, 07:06 AM

I'll get pictures of them later, but they are like this:

But the flange is cut off the bottom and they have 3" downpipes coming off of them.

ballinnmiami240sx · 12-01-2009, 08:52 AM

OH and Atpturbo.com has the 3"v-bands and 3"round to 3"oval. WOOT

He said the sikkys hung below the frame rails, which is bad for a car that's going to be as low as his tubs make it seem.

Okay I get it I had the same thing happen to me if you can notice it in this pictures below. Ive always flirted with the the idea of removing about an "1-"1.5 from the LT header right in the middle so I would get more clearance and still flow a little better than the block huggers. Just something to think about

**ThatGuy** · 12-01-2009, 09:55 AM

Luke needs to build an S-Chassis exhaust like this one for the Camaro Race Car he did.

Keep up the good work knoop! Looks like you really need to put in for a screen name change now.

GSXRJJordan · 12-01-2009, 10:17 AM

Nice build going, great momentum. I'm excited to see more ~
