I finally hooked up the wifes intercooler

Post by **themadscientist** » Sat Apr 16, 2005 10:19 pm

I am a lazy bastard. The wifes car has been in and out of the paint shop for months now after the old lady clocked the rear quarter panel, thanks for the paint job *****! She has not driven the car for years because of various issues, brakes suck, I needed a car to drive but mostly its my fault for having such a short attention span and jumping from project to project. That is over, I am focusing on a few projects now and the rest are on the way out. I was working on it all day and the intercooler is all hooked up. I had to remote mount the battery to make room for the piping up to the throttle body. I still have to run the cables. I'll throw up some pics.

Yeah pics will help, as I have no idea what car you're talking about.

Post by **themadscientist** » Sat Apr 16, 2005 11:01 pm

they are bigger now, I suck at pisture posts

Just to recap she has a 180SX. Here's the outside, basic widow black.

Here's the inside. She is a good driver and like to race but she is still a girl, she like's whiney the Pooh, she was getting tired of guys asking her if it was her husbands car and Mad happens to have got all As in home economics in High School.

HAHAHAHAHA love the Pooh stuff.

And nice defi set up.

Information overload but I like's to know what's going on under the hood.

Post by **wangless** » Sun Apr 17, 2005 12:06 am

What did she use to mount the two gauges onto the steering column ? Just the normal holder and double stick tape I assume ?

Post by **themadscientist** » Sun Apr 17, 2005 12:42 am

screws on the steering column, two-sided tape on the dash and hose clamps on the rollbar.

That's GANGSTER

I <3 that exhaust, what is it?

Nice Work Equips. That is a very cool car.

ah, envy, i love thee....makes me want to keep my car more and more now. is that the Bomex lip on there? factory side skirts and rear valence, or all Bomex stuff?

btw, how much would a set of chuki turn signals cost? i mean, i see people selling them here for like $40-100 a pair, but i figure you go to junk yards alot so maybe you can find a pair for cheap.

Wow that's an amasing car, it looks great. BTW: is that an RB under the hood? or a CA?

[QUOTE=Megaseth]Very nice looking ride, though you might have do a better job convincing us that you're not actually the one into Pooh (snicker)By the way, what are those extra guages? Very sharp.

Bomex lip, side steps and rear spats

180s are few and far between these days, if the prices are for new in the box from Nissan they are a steal, if it's junkyard stuff not so much.

CA. I ventured the idea of an RB swap and the wife got pissed and said "It's a CA18 and it stays that way, do that freaky **** to your own car". The woman is a purist

I am not into Pooh but I am a weirdo so anyone who knows my wife and me would still not be tipped off by the cartoon character interior. I lean towards Pikachu or Doremon though

Apexi for BoostDefi for Exhuast temp, Fuel pressure, RPM and Water tempTomei Air/fuel meter. The old school one, it says "rich" and "rean"

silver thing in the ceneter is an Apexi turbo timerthe two half-din units under the stereo are her HKS VPC and GCC computers

for those not familiar with the wife's other wheels. A late eighties Skyline, so clean you could eat off of it, if you tried though she would stab you.

Post by **Megaseth** » Sun Apr 17, 2005 6:47 am
