Haha thanks Surgeon, that's about right.

The old black car was UKDM and severely corroded - as in jack went up, car stayed the same height...

I wanted something more economical but still fun. I was inspired by an ecomodders thread of a boosted honda which achieved brilliant mileage. Jason (jayom) sold me the car for a decent price, whilst it's bodywork was poor it looked great underneath. As for v6 VS i4, economy was the main reason, and the car came with the 1.5. I have 4 years of uni left, with petrol as £1.36 a litre I had to compromise. Road tax is also 40% cheaper too for <1500. I also like the feeling of boost, whilst still getting ZE performance.

Awesome video!!!

Was hoping to hear that turbo spool and blow off...

that video deserves an oscar

Haha thanks guys! Will hopefully get some more vids done. One with a mic by the turbo would be cool.

I acquired a £40 HKS super dragger exhaust off gumtree from a Toyota Glanza. Pity it was dented at the tip and the baffles were on the verge of being blown out. The perforated tube had rotten a bit exposing the packing. The bottom had also been flattened and scraped, these people and their lowness



So naturally I chopped it into pieces.


-Carefully cut the end open
-I rammed in a better condition perforated tube
-hammered out the big dent on the tip
-rotated the tip 180deg so all scrapes are hidden at the top
-sanded and polished it up
-new brackets
-welded to my exhaust



Might have to remove my mid silencer, turbos got things far too quiet! I'm liking the look, this car is so JDM

Nice work!! I love your attention to detail. Sell done sir!

Thanks Josh! Took ages but I'd been craving an HKS for ages and wanted to keep it as authentic as possible. I remembered you saying a bout straightening your MS tip and thought it must be possible!

Yeah! I completely forgot I straightened it out, lol. The next step will be much of the same that you have done, so I can enlarge the pipe diameter

I like the look a lot, very clean!

Nice work on the muffler! I like it.

Nice work on the muffler! Keep it coming!

Cheers guys! I'm liking the look a lot

Check out the flames!

One of these days I'm going to hire someone like you that can build me a proper MX-3
