The last pic really shows how clean the weld is if that is without any sanding

Are you like the senoir man Dim?
Senoir man?

These things are just stuff we keep busy with when work is slow. I do machining and my buddy is a really good welder. But he's kinda apathetic about cars, so motivating him to weld up an exhaust is tough. He did the titanium piece in a couple of my other Youtube vids, too.

Buuut... he just got his bike license and is super pumped about getting a newer 600 crotch rocket. So I've been showing pics of Akrapovic titanium pipes on bikes and asking him 'Do you think you could do that?' He may come around... Lol.

Our next issue would be finding a place to do it if he does get interested.

On another note I found an M12 X 1.25 tap at work so I can make a properly threaded knob now.

DAMN!! That looks awesome. Think its just about the prefect size.

Yea for sure. I can swing by your area if you want to check it out.


Sorry I should rephrase that question. How long have you been working with metals and such? Your wealth of knowledge is impressive and from the numerous technical threads you have started I am really curious as too how long it would take to gain such knowledge.


Quick Update: Parts I'm currently waiting to come in

5 Axis Spoiler
HID retrofit kit
Toyota Badge
Clear Corners

Hopefully they all come in before July 14th since I will be gone on vaca then

You have good taste with redding out the tail lights. Clear, see-thru tail lights are so...rice. See them so much on atrociously modded civics and cavaliers.

Yeah I was really hoping that style would die out along with body kits that look like other cars

Update 1st Post

Update: Got 2 things in the mail today. My Toyota badges are in and currently waiting for them to dry after painting them black and I got my HID Retrofit kit from TRS. Super fast shipping guys!

Going to wait until my Clear Corners come in and do the HID retrofit, Clear corners and black headlight housing all at once.
