2002 tacoma race build

well ladies... i have settled into my house and shop about as best as i possibly can before diving back into this thing... this weekend she goes back under the knife. wish me luck.

 

Good to hear, good luck. And I still have a small package I need to send back to you, just been busy and forgot

 

no worries man. glad i could get you those files. how are they working for ya?

 

Good thanks, crashed my computer once and had to reinstall, I know, I know, you told me so

 

its a big motherfucker aint it! hahaha

 

well i was able to get back under the truck and get started again... took the first hour and a half to clear the rats nests out of the interior of my truck with some half assed pos vacuum cleaner... anyways... may not look like much got done, but quite the contrary...

 

slowly but surely. looks good man

 

About Time!

 

Looking good, the new garage looks real nice.

 

Thanks guys. It's gunna be a long haul but fun in the end

 

well was at it again.. and its another weekend so i will hopefully get quite a bit done...

 

Is that a Spintech muffler i see?

 

yes it is and it is being cut off... they are great sounding mufflers when you actually have some tubing after them too... if you have it like i do where the output is cut off within a foot or so of the muffler, they sound like complete ass. so..... anthony brought it up so he has first dibbs.... if you want the fuckin thing, you can have it. if he doesnt, first other person that chimes in and wants it can have it. just dont be a dick and turn around and sell it.. let someone have it that needs a muffler/exhaust on THIER truck.

 

hahah I have the same one , and yes its cut off right after the muffler, sounds good to me , but could be better like you said. Actually mines dumped pointing the ground, what would make it sound better? Not pointing the ground?


What are you gonna get after that muffler?

 

ok... so open spintech up for grabs people! ONLY IF YOU NEED IT FOR YOUR TRUCK. IF I HEAR OF IT ON CRAIGSLIST I WILL HIRE SOMEONE IN YOUR LOCAL AREA TO PROMPTLY GIVE YOU A SWIFT KICK IN THE FUCKING SACK.

and no.. i think that if you have at least 3 feet of piping coming off of the outlet, it would help... but i still couldnt say... just doesnt seem to sound good on the 3.4 in my opinion. i have a magnaflow race muffler i will be giving a try and seeing how it goes...

 

oh ok gotcha. Is there any vid of your truck? Curious to what it sounds like

 

not that im aware of. i put that muffler on about a week before i cut the truck in half. i believe that muffler may have like 40 miles on it.

 

twas' a long weekend..... any updates?

 

yea i have a few. little bit of work done here and there. got the fuel cell placement marked, the horns for the rear of the frame to transition to the tubes designed and now i just gotta cut them out of plate. will have pics up hopefully later this week with the interior cage finally tied into frame and a few other goodies.
