hey man i got a photo up. and yeah i had heaps of drama with the conversion manly coz i got a half cut that was more a half a half cut.and its back in the shop now.my mates got the same model as yours but his is stock non turbo, i didnt think that model could look so good man nice job.

Nice TX man, i got an identical one, black has mags. 2.5inch Lukey Exhaust system. I bought it for $450 and have spent about $2000. Its got a custom made front spoiler (looks sweet) and a rear spoiler of a 99 Magna that my mate smashed. I'll try to get pics of it but i have to find/buy a camera.

Nice TX5 Bro i gots one identical to that i had it 4 2 days when i blew the head so im now saving up for either a reco head or a eng conversion 2 a 1.8 Twincam BP{ turbo motor. I bought the wiring and comp 4 a BP eng so all i really need's is the eng but is all going good.

hey man, i agree with SABBAi...never really liked the shape of that model, but you've made it look w00t! how much did the exhaust system set you back? what sort of performance gains? i've got a 2.5" str8 thru, but im looking at a system like yours...the hotdog looks w3rd man. also can someone plz tell me what sorta price im lookin at for a decent CAT? thanks


Posted by: splntx5 on September 25, 2004 [ Car Profile ]

hey dude, i have the same tx5 as urs. but mine is dead stock..

i wanna ask u a few questions.. before u did anything to the car.. im sure u couldnt hear the flutter.. my friend told me to buy an aftermarkey compuer for my car so i can take out my air metre.. also, now that u have an intercooler, can u hear the turbo wined up and the flutter noise good?

btw, my car picks will be up soon smile.gif


Posted by: zseipolt on October 1, 2004 [ Car Profile ]

hey splntx5, yeah a after market computer is good so you can put a pod filter on. and yeah i can hear the turbo spooling up real loud, it sounds sweet as.


Posted by: zorb_rules on October 1, 2004 [ Car Profile ]

Hey dont know if its just my model or not but ya can put a pod on without needing a new computer ya just have to get an adaptor plate made up. Autobarn did mine for me I just havent fitted it yet, cost like 30 bucks to get done. And apparently from other people I know have the pod doesnt effect the air flow meter so ya shouldnt need a comp.
