DILLIGAF?: Project Ratty

So, F the haterz yeah!
Here's an idea I've been toying with for many many many years (even thought of doing on the civic!)
Side exit exhaust.
The only problem is it would need a lot of thought and adjustment due to the exhaust more than likely getting ripped off every day due to not having the exhaust well going to the back and not to the the front door.
-
Oh lush mate.. that's one mod someone has to do!
-
Get it to exit from the lower rear quarter panel
exiting into the rear quarter spat would be cool also?!
legalities too bro http://www.ukpoliceonline.co.uk/index.php?/topic/24099-side-exit-exhaust/

Yeah legalities are an issue too, but the biggest issue would be the pipes catching on bumps, humps and pedestrians and also directing the pipes to the said place without cutting up the underside of the car.
The other option is a stack exhaust, but where it would go I don't know?
-
you could redirect it from near the back upto the front again
to keep atleast one silencer and flatten the pipes off and slash cut it?exhaust stack out the pick up rear?! youd have to bring it through into the cabin before the petrol tank I guess
-
It is legal to do it
This is a skyline at my local japclub, he put the exhaust out the side because its so low now that even the brake lines are inside
-
whats with the missing light on the front?
-
air intake I bet.
-
its an air intake and headlight in one unit so its still road legal

iteresting choice of location, think id rather have my lights than a big hole, the fog lights are obsolete on that bumper so thats where id have run it from
-
it looks mean as fuk and purposefull if you ask me :D

The MASSIVE intercooler kinda cancels that option out. Also having a cold air feed low to the ground, in the spot light position, is not a good idea what with it being so close to the ground and susceptible to getting a whole load of nice UK weather in it. The headlight is a proven winner and allows a lot more air into the engine as well (not to mention looking cool as diddley).
-
I spose, though I cant agree on it looking cool at all, each to his own…
-
Well day 2 without the car. Decided to mark a new start on the 17's, plenty of people saying I should do them red to complement the rising sun so guess what….
-
Well, the wheels will be finished off tomorrow and fitted after my recent purchase.
Federal Super steels.
I guess I'll have to think about lowering it more now as I'll gain an extra 2 inches on the ride height now :roll:
-
thats a low profile tyre, so it might be the same
as a 15" with a higher profile?

You guys are kidding right? You never actually looked at the track? Most of the genuine tracktime racers have an extra air intake instead of a headlight.. What good is it to have two headlights on the track anyways? :lol:
If it was easy to take mine out, I whould fit one of those nice open units too.. But have to take the entire friggin front bumper off.. :roll:

if thats a 40mm depth tyre then it should be approx 5.4mm taller at each end of the wheel/tyre than a standard 15 with 60's on, so it should only lift the car by (again approx) 5.4mm, and also be 5.4mm closer to the arches.
Approx.
1 inch = 25.4mm
17 x 25.4 = 431.8mm
431.8mm + 40 + 40 (top and bottom of tyre profile) = 511.8mm (total height from ground to top of tyre)Standards…
15 x 25.4 = 381mm
381mm + 60 + 60 = 501mmDifference between the two is 10.8mm which can be divided as it crosses the path of the carrier hub, so works out at being a mere 5.4mm extra on each side of the wheel.
Which really is neglible when you consider your measurements would be out by about the same when compared between brand new 60's and a pair of well worn 60's which would have a smaller circumference due to the wear on the outer of the tyre.
You could work out from that and a bit more maths, how much the difference in speed reading will be on the dials.
If my maths is right, which there is a good chance it isnt as this is just a formula I knocked up in my head, and is based on rotational distance difference, you should be looking at
1.0209923664122137404580152671756 (30mm) of difference per wheel rotation, which I believe would work out at 2% over reading difference, so at 100mph youd be doing 102mph

Shh people…..
Got the new FC mag with some dandy stickers, had a few drinks and found some scissors and ended up with this
:lol:
