Molten Orange ST going Japanese style (Oh the blasphemy) *PIC HEAVY*

[SirSlaughter]

Gentlemen I have returned! I haven't posted in a while because I'm a lazy shit and need inspiration to do things. My inspiration was boredom. Pure and absolute boredom.

I've got some video footage of the External and internal sounds of the COBB Cat-back and Boomba BOV adapter in action but I need to do some stuff and re-do the exterior sound. I should have that all done tomorrow and once that is done I have to work on my Injen CAI. That should be in tomorrow.

From there I plan to either save up for some Lenso D1R wheels or I'll just cry and break the bank on the Intake manifold and throttle body spacers that Boomba is working on.

Either way I will have some new stuff to show tomorrow.

But for now if you have yet to see this, I have some footage of the first night using my COBB exhaust:

If you have already seen it then just wait until tomorrow in the afternoon and I should have some more videos up as well as some pictures of the new part(s)

 

[kymerah]

thx for the video! just got to hear a boomba in action today, but now hearing it with an exhaust installed just makes it sound amazing. didn't really like it much by itself. should sound awesome with the mbpr exhaust I got on my FiST !

Keep the vids coming

 

[SirSlaughter]

Alright first thing is first: My shoddy video that gives you a slight idea of the sound inside:
This was before the new intake. So it's for the COBB cat back and Boomba Racing BOV adapter.

Time to represent.

StreetGlow LOL!

 

[re-rx7]

I dont understand this build?

 

[STephen]

Great stuff, man. Quite unique.

 

[caliboy15]

hmmmmmmmm

 

[Bleach_Trap]

Dude, do your thing, it's pretty interesting. Everyone likes to modify as if they are building a racecar, while the base car already performs better than we need on the streets. Plus most of the time we just spend farting into our seats sitting in traffic. Your mods are enjoyable all the time, and I respect that.

And then we have the Jeep Dragon Edition. That takes on Oriental styling as well.

None of the cars in the house conform! except that damned F-150 we managed to get from my grandfather. But I'll fix that soon enough hehehe.

You live in TN? I just saw one of these in Phoenix on Saturday.

Broke 10K miles and took some pictures in the snow. Nothing else to report:

10" of snow. The Fiesta is not a snow car...stupid FWD. If only it was AWD. Still doesn't stop me from having fun in the snow.

 

[meFiSTo]

Well, given a proper setup, tail draggers can be capable (and fun) in the snow too. Proof:

I dont understand this build?

yep

 

[LT Berzerker]

Love the thread man... Keep up the progress... Kept true to the purpose of a hot hatch... Fun!

I like what you've got going on here.

Where did you run the line for the boost gauge?

 

[SirSlaughter]

I like what you've got going on here.

Where did you run the line for the boost gauge?

Sorry for late reply.

I ran the boost line from this little hose right here:
I destroyed the factory heat shrink in order to put my own hackjob of a line:
BEFORE

AFTER:

Then i ran the line through the engine bay and up to the boost gauge inside:

It works great but I really want to get a longer line and make a custom pillar mount. I want to run more gauges for maybe some temps, more pressure gauges, ect. I like gauges. They're cool.

 

[SirSlaughter]

I was really expecting these to be so much more Bronze than they actually are, but it came out so much better than I expected. I seem to have a knack for choosing wheels for my cars.

So that is another item off the list.

I have a list of things to get before STfest in August.

Intake- INSTALLED
New Wheels- INSTALLED
New Tires-
Cobb AP-
Boomba Intake Manifold and Throttle body spacer-
Catless DP-
Intercooler-
SECRET WEAPON-

you know you can get all that in the Cobb AP right? save you alot more time and money

 

[SirSlaughter]

The Cobb AP is a definite purchase I will be doing before STfest. But I like the gauges and it's more fun going this route as it helps me learn more about the engine with hands on screwing around and it pays off with some sweet looking gauges that I get to watch bounce around when having fun. Add this with the intake+BOV adapter+exhaust and the car is just an absolute plethora of wonder for me to drive. The car become so much more alive to me. Every time I get in my car I want to feel like the car is ready to be thrashed around. Every mod I've added so far has given me more of that feeling. Whether it's through sound or something I can see, the experience is just an absolute blast.

Like I said, I will most certainly be picking up the AP, but I still want my Pods.

 

[SirSlaughter]

I've set in motion, my ultimate car project.
The first stages are going to be ensuring that my interior trim is prepped for what is to be installed.

The next step is figuring out wires and placement of everything before I make the larger orders.

After that I make the orders once I have done enough research to make sure I get the right parts I want.

Final step, install everything and hope nothing explodes. If something does...back to square 3 but with forged internals and reinforced manifolds etc.

So for step one, I have this to show for now:

You'll notice that something rather large is missing.


I also have some other news. I have an addition to the family.

This is also going to be yet another project I have to work on.
Behold:

My fathers exact words: "You are never allowed to be near me if I ever go to buy a car ever again, I am never taking you with me".


I have a lot of work ahead of me.

 

[SirSlaughter]

News:

More car parts.

Whoever figures out what this is for gets a cookie.

I also did the symposer delete and chose Boomba for my delete kit. I took my Symposer to my automotive class to show the teacher. He could tell what it was in an instant. The rest of the class needed a bit of an explanation as to what this blasphemy was.

Not much to report other than that. I've been stupid busy at my automotive class.
First time I get to touch this computer in a week.
I'm also still waiting for my A-pillar to get back to me.

My next mod is going to be the AccessPort.
