The Side-Pipe Roadster

[redroadster]

I like the bumpers, both front and rear.

Me too , the fender vents look cool too ....I think
Also the stock wheels , nice color scheme

I bet that single exhaust breathes just as good, if not better, than the dual side pipes with those sharp bends.
Cool car either way!

Alvin, you should have taken the opportunity to go full-on bosozoku

[FergO2k]

Single red stripe on the lip of the current steelies would look cool, like the red stripe tires, kinda.

I agree it now looks better, and if it was driven less because of the exhaust, then good thing it got thrown.
When I looked at the picture of them in the scrap heap, I thought of those Japanese modders, Bosozoku-style.

Much better.
Whats next?
Z wheels w/chrome lugnuts?
Work 03s?
Shakotans!

For wheels, I was going to run whitewalls/stock wheels.
There is option to run these EMPI, Libra or Panasports it's up to Raul

Or the 15" Panasports:




Next, I want to clean-up the interior. Remove diamond plate and install matching red panels. Really want to put the matching red stock 67.5 seats w/headrests(shown above)...just need time. It's probably due for a hydraulic/coolant flush.

Would help with the exhaust fumes

Probably due for the hydraulic flush. I did that when I put the Volvo brakes on there for Raul and I think I rebuilt the rear cylinders too, but that was what, 5 years ago? Don't remember if I did anything with the coolant. On the wheels, my vote would be the Panasports or Libres.

The 15" panasports look great on that car... changes its attitude.

Definitely unique.... I dig it... I like the gills that are mounted into the fenders. I wonder if that helps the solexs breathe better???

Not likely, the inner fender of the engine bay is opened.

It might help reduce turbulent air in the fenderwells

After 5 years of taking care of the Side-Pipe roadster and storing it at my house, yesterday it left.

I drove it to Raul's storage where it will stay, and hopefully get drive often!

She fired up and ran great on the freeway, Solexes blaring.
