OH HELL.....

Chop that ex. mani. up. Machine the flange and bend some pipe for the exhaust runners. Of course, take the torch to the bends for that heated stainless look.

By bending your own pipe you could top mount the turbos and even stagger them, one mounted higher than the other.

UPDATE - Better Brakes







My best work to date, I think. This is the result of 7 hours work.
Hope you like it as much as I do, well pleased. Only 3 more to do now

I'll post some more pics but the GF is calling for food
Thanks for looking, and also thanks for your comments.

Re: Progress - 1:12 Skyline R32 GTR

They are a vast improvement on the ones you showed me. How did you sort out the vents in the end?
