nicistheshit Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 so here is some updates of some sort a little, its all jacked up becasue I'm doing my exhaust, i took off the cat converter and just putting a flowmaster right there and running it down and out behind the driver door in front of the rear wheel. wheels arnt actually on it =p just against it haha i took out the radiator and cleaned a little bit of my engine, still so much to do though I'm trying to do something cool with the bumpers, they stick out so far so i took off everything besides the metal and drilled holes into it, then I'm going to fill it with foam, and grind down bolt parts so it looks alot more clean, and then lay down some black paint, i think it will give it a more racer look, =] I'm doing it to my back bumper too more updates on the waaay! =] input please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRedSpirit Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Is this a track only car? I dunno about the laws over there, but bumper skins are there to protect pedestrians. Imagine if you hit someone with that thing? Itd be like putting them through a cheese grater. Also, the exhaust sounds a bit nuts. If its going on the road, you will end up with a severe fine with no cat in a car that should have one. Mufflers are good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you fail emissions then here in QLD its up around a 2000 dollar fine. If I were you, Id look into the laws, you can always dump the full exhaust for track days. If your explanation to the people who catch you out is something like, "My dad said it was ok", you will get laughed at. Ignorance isn't a legal defence. Anyhow, its a very, very nice chassis, just don't turn it into too much of a mad max prop. A new cat converter is around $150 here in Australia. Its really a no brainer to fit it. Cars as old as that in Australia do not have to have them unless you fit a motor that came with one in its original state. So if you mod the carby motor in an australian ke70, then you don't need to run one. If you do what I did and fit a 96 model EFI engine, then you must run one. Just jump on the web or the phone and make a 5 minute call and you will know. Id just hate to see you get it taken off the road, once all the hard work is done. :y: Cheers.

orangeLJ Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 they are alot less strict with the "it has to have a cat" laws in the US, the only states that are nazi on it seem to be nazi....i mean california and New York. The rest seem to let alot slide (from what I've come across on alot of american forums I dig around on) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
