Finally getting stuck into pulling out my trim to fab up the roll cage.
I was sick with the ugly looking supercheap battery box so I decided to go all out and get a Morosso Sealed Box from the states... Couldn't be happier...Just a quick plug to the boys at VPW.com, great service, great delivery and great product at a great price. Give them a call and ask for Rodney. Mocked up where i'll be putting it. Decided to piss off the OEM front speakers and put in some decent pieces of kit. I originally wasn't going to bother but this all came up cheap from a mate at work $150 for the lot!!! TS-D1602R 2 Way speakers and some PVC spacers from Taark on NS.com And a Pioneer 2 channel amp to run the lil buggers. Unfortunately I forgot to take some pics of them in the doors but they fitted up nicely using all the OEM screw holes... Last but not least my stuffed muffler worries are over thanks to Submission. Its a GP Sports EXA Evo Tune and apparently that lil tibe thing is a "Power Chamber" Heres the site: http://translate.google.com.au/trans...ial%26prmd%3Dv Nuthin like abit of JDM bling....cant wait to see it on the rig... Thanks for watchin...

Got around to some cleaning up today...have been meaning to remove the weathershield for some time but now that its getting sprayed soon, I thought id get off my ass and give it ago...
And then they left this mess!!! So after about an hour of hitting it with a rubber disc pad (panel beater use em), I got it to this stage... Then after a lite hit with the turps...the final result... Also polished up the muffler and it tuned out pretty good...everytime I go to get it thrown on, something stupid happens with work or tafe or something....but it will get there...hopefully before the next EOMM... 3" straight through...love it... Hope it isn't to loud...louder but not too loud.

Just got my muffler fitted. A huge thanks to Submission for "g" ing up the exhaust and then going the extra yard to help me save some coin and get it installed for me..Thanks heaps mate...
The sound from this thing is awesome...its really quiet at idle but at about 3.5k rpm it really opens up...also go the resonator thing removed due to the inability to fit it with it on.. I also now dont get as much crap on my rear bar because it sticks out so far, this is adjustable but I like how far out it is Bloody happy with the result...

It's a shame you had to cut the Rabbit's resonator off, as that's what makes them quiet.

Update (22/7/2010)
Ive done a fair bit to the 180 since I first purchased her back in November 08 Engine GT2860RS Turbo (10psi atm) Braided Turbo Lines BKR7E NGK Plugs Trust Baffled Sump Walbro Pump Breathing K&N CAI ARC FMIC Core with GKTECH piping kit (HPC Coated Piping) GFB PB BOV Exhaust CES Dump/ Front Pipe Magnaflow 200Cell cat Nismo Catback (inc.

Swaybars Kazama Castor Rods Haltech ECU + 740cc Injectors + Cams(Undecided) + AU Thermo Fans Rollcage (6 or 4 point, not really sure) Tint Windows Raybrig Headlights Looking back, I think I have spent some serious $'s on her but it still is a beautiful daily, never had a mechanical problem, really fuel economical and still goes well. ATM the 180 has 170kw at 10psi and the S13 Injectors are at 80 duty cycle. For now, this is enough power and I really need to get the brakes and wheels done so I can enjoy the power safely (The current brakes are scary). Once all that is done I can afford to get the EM side of things completed and hope for 300HP on 16psi....that'll be awhile though. Eventually, I m hoping 1 day the engine will be forged with a Twin Scroll but until then, Im happy. Ill update this list as I go.
