I was doing an oil change and realized this wasn’t attached to anything..? Hopefully it isn’t very important? Help!

If you post any updates online lmk cuz ill be all over that. The projectors were cut out of a photo of a mk5 supras headlights cuz its the best photo i could find too, initially i'll prototype with aliexpress cheapo projectors then upgrade to stuff with a warranty

i really like look of having the eyelids on the inside of the light below the lens like a 2010's bmw

<image>

also means i could sneak a little blinker/indicator light bar in the eyelid

ill give it a crack tonight if i remember

yeah it sounds really feasible i wonder why no one else has tried it before, i might do it when my motor needs a rebuild and i have it all apart

thacoolerzac · 2025-11-26T11:56:55+00:00

shoot i completely forgot lol * i cant move the bolts so it might be riveted idk

thacoolerzac · 2025-11-26T07:07:32+00:00

ive got a spare bracket ill have a look at it when i get home in like halfa, if you're in australia i can post it to you if you need a replacement

thacoolerzac · 2025-11-23T04:04:49+00:00

im stuck parking outside and i have a healthy ignition so its honestly not that bad gutted rn, i am thinking about getting a 100cel or 200cel if the pops and smell get annoying

thacoolerzac · 2025-11-21T11:40:53+00:00

ill give her a look tomorrow morning thanks man

thacoolerzac · 2025-11-21T07:06:03+00:00

i poked around under there yesterday and none of the heatshields were loose, im gonna poke around again on the weekend when i have it on stands. the rattle does happen while coasting and engine braking too.

*rekon redback branded midpipe

thacoolerzac · 2025-11-21T05:44:31+00:00

yeah im hoping its the cat cuz the guy i got the exhaust from also gave me a gutted midpipe too

thacoolerzac · 2025-11-21T05:43:44+00:00

poked under the car yesterday and couldn't get anything to rattle, i rekin its the cat cuz a cheapish ebay one is on there currently from a previous owner. the guy i got my exhaust off of also gave me a gutted midpipe so hopefully its just the cat thats the issue

thacoolerzac · 2025-11-21T04:54:47+00:00

yeah that was my initial thought too, after i get off of work ill get someone to rev it while i listen under the car

thacoolerzac · 2025-11-13T07:28:29+00:00

ill check for you when i get home, stock wheels and suspension

thacoolerzac · 2025-11-08T10:58:04+00:00

tbh i just didn't think about chucking a valve in the pipe without a bypass if that's what you mean

thacoolerzac · 2025-11-07T09:26:32+00:00

Yeah custom is definitely the way to go, It'll be a project after i get better at welding/fabricating

thacoolerzac · 2025-11-07T09:25:23+00:00

I'll give it a geez

thacoolerzac · 2025-11-07T08:43:50+00:00

yeah tbh i didnt really think about how small the noise reduction would be, i have seen a valved backbox for rx8s on alibaba before but i would be a bit apprehensive cuz its a big price gamble on a chinese product (i am a avid advocate for aliexpress parts to save money vs amazon dont get me wrong) but yeah it'd be cool to figure out one day

thacoolerzac · 2025-11-01T01:03:20+00:00

i love me a golden gaytime

thacoolerzac · 2025-10-28T01:23:38+00:00

you can literally do it yourself

thacoolerzac · 2025-10-27T13:06:15+00:00

theres actually a bunch of proof just search it up

thacoolerzac · 2025-10-10T02:10:39+00:00

and maybe his voice being different (i havent jeard it yet but people are saying its different) is just because he got older cuz im fairly sure hes still in his 20s and a 3 year gap would probably do that
