Awesome thanks! 26 minutes ago, KaiserRolls said: Needs more fender exit exhaust on a cut out I have been pondering this for awhile now. I was thinking straight out the rear in the middle, or on the side above the rockers on the rear quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Roloff Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I really like the side exit above the rockers, that'd look sweet. Also, shooting fireballs would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunMetalGrey Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 I really dig those graphics, I also love the matte/satin black on the gloss black. Subtle but just right. Maybe add some bright green pin striping to critical areas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the whole shebang! Oh. Yeah I am not opposed to something like that, but I want to try and keep the rear of the car free of anything important. That way if I hit a wall, I can keep going(hopefully) I also am buying earls old centerlines and selling mine. Most likely going on this car. I shittily photoshopped them on above.

stealthbimmer Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Well, if you are going that route...at least put them in front for some ramming protection I was thinking more, since you have the red theme, something like this https://www.amazon.com/Red-Devil-Horns-for-Cars/dp/B00IMM5R92 You know, make em light up if you want to get all ridiculous with it. Or, since apparently 'tis the season already https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011XM9EKA/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B011XM9EKA&pd_rd_wg=dJhX5&pd_rd_r=ZX3MDVFBK11MRHMYYEP7&pd_rd_w=eGHnK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How silly. I would do that if I actually had legitimate plates on the car. Speaking of which, I applied for another set of hobbyist plates yesterday for this thing. So when they show up in January I can finally "LEGALLY" drive the car come February! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdesign Posted November 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Added some of the matte/ gloss vinyl and used the car to haul some wooden tire racks I built. Blew the PS line apart again. Of course it happened right when I got into the shop. ughhhhhhhhhhhh. Where can I go to get a custom line made? I really dont want to use AN fittings and this is super annoying. the place that I took this too makes HP hydro lines and they said this should hold 1000 PSI.

HipMF Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 I will ask around at work tomorrow. Pretty sure I remember someone talking about a local place that does custom hydraulic hoses cheap. Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that most auto parts stores have a press that can make them behind the counter, but this line they were unable to make. Once I get it out of the car I will post a picture of the actual line. Its half OEM Ford and half OEM BMW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So since I am located on the outskirts of Madison surrounded by farms, the auto parts store by me makes hydro lines, but could not make the line I need. They suggested Hyquip, which was a good suggestion, but they couldn't make it either. Instead they suggested doing what I did, and sold me some fittings, but it still continues to fail. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Full Banana Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 I've gone both routes before with success either way. I can see the fittings failing if they are the standard sort of AN fitting, but proper high pressure reusable PS fittings have worked really well for me. I bought high pressure power steering fittings and hose on ebay and made my own line on my first swap (which I put about 13,000 miles on). The second time around I went to Hyquip on 124th in Butler and had them make a similar line, but with crimp fittings, while I waited (and that one has 3,000 miles or so on it now). Why wouldn't Hyquip do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wouldn't Hyquip do it? Its because of the type of fittings I assume? Hyquip in Madison didn't stock anything in the sizes I needed. Maybe I will look online to make my own. I also have a really low non-existent budget, so at this point I might just spend the money on AN fittings and line so I never have to touch it again. Spending 20 mins cleaning a huge mess on the floor gets old FAST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont have anything against chase bays but I rather do it locally, not spend what they would charge, and risk errors and deal with waiting and shipping it back etc. Parker might be able to make it, im going to try there next. I wasn't aware until last night there there was a Parker store a few blocks from Hyquip. Weird they didnt send me there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daggerty Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Pirtek in Menominee falls will be able to do it. I'm 85.3% sure I have the crimping tool for hydraulic lines I can check if you want to make it yourself. Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
