Thats alot better bro!! Nice & Simple...

I want a project... DJKOR, can i shop your car?

Hey Toyo, what version of PS are you running?

Evo

Hey Evo... I think its called CS4 he gave me the program n its starting to pee me off coz i cant use it!!! LOL!!

My bad if im WRONG... LOL!!!

like as in dont know how to use it or is the program stuffed?

hahah do u like the celica and the MERC??

Nah the programs sweet its just me i cant use it!!!

I think u should just keep it simple dont get me wrong junior ur pics r GETTIN DER!!!

I need u to photoshop my car with my stockies on it in black if u can...

Had a rear sway bar made yesterday.. I went on the pic of the blue Cusco bar which i cant seem to find yet. Its similar in design but still in its early stages,

trying it out for a week or so then go back and fine tune it. Iam surprised the difference it has made,i didnt expect it.

Its 20mm and the only difference really between this and the blue one is how its bolted to the brackets.. My bar uses extra brackets to hold it where as the blue bar has flat ends and bolts go through,hopefully mine will end up the same,it'll be alot neater.

I know its not the prettiest thing but its a bit of a prototype.. Hopefully when completed i'll powder coat it and tidy it up under there..

CUSCO

How much did it set u back john??

Cheers.

I want Addy27 to come along n alot more ppl!!!! LOL!!!

Hey CHA54 that was the 1st tym hes made 1!!! I guess PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT RIGHT??? He'll get there 1 day... Where abouts u from??? If u wouldve told ppl that u could make up a CAI i wouldve came to u...LOL!

TIG welding is easy though, stainless is the easiest metal of all to weld! Once you have the technique, that's it - there's no "Oh but it's the first intake he's made". If he knew how to TIG properly, there is no 'excuse' for sloppy welds.

Now, if anybody is in Brisbane I'm more than happy to spend some time making an intake for somebody - can't mass produce them but can knock one-offs up. I have done one for Rowan (our time schedules never worked out, hence why it took so long) and done other bits for other members.

EDIT: Meh, pointless starting down this tangent again.

WAKE UP BUDDy!!! U cant pick up a welder n be a gunn at it STR8 AWAY!! PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!!

Every1s been askin for a CAI n now u wana add UR 5 CENTS by telling every1 ur WILLING TO MAKE A ONE OFF INTAKE... WHY NOW??? WHY NOT A YR n a HALF AGO???

I never said you could ;) Isn't he a fabricator of some sort though? I don't exactly know why you're raging at me for offering to help people... Hell, last intake I made I charged in total (minus HPC coating) less than what postage would be for an intake from the states or Japan. But you know, if you don't WANT my help...

Nah he aint a FABRICATOR hes a 4th yr hydraulic mechanic... I was offering ppl sum help wit a CAI for ZREs but other ppl seem to HATE...

Ive already got one so im happy!!!

Come on guys who else is in???

:( i cant view the photos i usually photoshop been doin it for years haha :(

Yo junior!!! I like the way u changed Nates car aka ARMSTRONG.. Looks GUNN!!

nice work mate....enjoyed looking at those...and your skillz are getting better as the thread progresses

ill say, at first i was thinking it looked dodgy and with microsoft paint (ae82 pic).

but now they look pretty mean. well done mate.

thanks for the responce :)... time to pimp out Nellies rolla =D

Que Pasa Junior??? The pics r lookin better n better!!! Now that u gave me the program u can show me how to use it!! LOL..

ok...

Here's a liberty I prepared earlier, no post-weld pickling past applied:

Here's two of my fuse welds after application of pickling paste (note, that's not my pipe alignment, I just welded it up :P) :

Another showing my welds on a custom 1zzfe header prior to facing:

One of my 1JZ to stock MX83 intake pipes:

etc etc etc... I was providing feedback on how your mate can improve his stainless welding, as the welds you pictured are easily improved with a bit of practise.

These intake pipes are seriously easy to make. The hardest part is machining the stainless MAF mount, but they can also be purchased pre-machined from the US if you really want: http://www.kstech.biz/servlet/the-Blow-dsh...nges/Categories

I can easily knock up a ZZE/ZRE intake in a month or two's time after the current projects are out of the way. I prefer to make mine in alloy though.

Hey CHA54 that was the 1st tym hes made 1!!! I guess PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT RIGHT??? He'll get there 1 day... Where abouts u from??? If u wouldve told ppl that u could make up a CAI i wouldve came to u...LOL!

Certainly nowhere near the neatest welds I've seen...

awell buddy thats the 1st tym hes done it.. WHY DONT U WELD ONE UP??? SAME GOES TO YOU CH45A...

From what I gather it's only Injen (Part: SP2079) and a Weapon-R one from America which is a short ram intake and from what I heard aren't very reputable.

As you said it yourself, I'd rather pay more to get something I know has reputation. Not someone welding a few pieces of 2.5" pipes together.

U dont have to HATE!!! Theres nothin wrong with my INTAKE!!! My mate also got his done n there isnt n e thin wrong wit his!!

Dont HATE guys!!! Not all Carline workers r D1CKs!!!

GTL05T.

no no !!!! i meant the one i went to.. i just tried to warn people.. but i must say good work of getting one done locally @ least you are enjoying it now while others still have theirs in a box somewhere..

i'm not hating dude!! its just, the Carline place we went to over here in Perth are really pricks. major attitude problems :(

My mate just made a intake for his bros subabru rs n its so CLEAN!!! ill put sum pics up of the intake he made...
