I'm so sick of seeing this car.
LITERALLY!
"HELLISH 968
Just when you thought the original was ugly..."

i would like to see the rest of that abomination.....looks like he has some wide fenders on there.
That would be Sally Fields car. They gave it to her after playing the Flying Nun!!!!
I also wondered where they came up with the "...original was ugly..." Obviously they have no taste.
hate the car - think it should be crushed - but i do like the dual exhaust
Speaking of dual exhaust, I came across these pics on RL just the other day.
Looking at those, my reaction surprises me. I think I'd prefer the look of a dual outlet where we currently have a single. This, though, is low on my list (in fact, not even on the list - yet).
lol - and of course i am working on the math to figure out the tubing and mufflers - i've been delaying this project until i get the rest of the projects on my list done, and until i am closer to needing a repaint of the bumper cover - i figure i have to repaint the car again in a year, so by then i should have it worked out
im not a fan of the dual exhaust. I think it looks out of place, and is out of place on a 4-cyl or any Inline cyl config.
All subjective though, diff strokes for different folks. I do dig the side exit exhaust...a lot.

A repaint already.. Thats funny!!
Fox,
I agree, besides thats extra unwanted wieght.
there are quite a few 4 cylinders with dual exhaust, though certainly single is the predominant case, and inline engines do usually have a single setup, though many are dual pipes running the entire length of the car and exiting side by side
i like the symmetry, and i think i can pick up some power, and actually lose some weight (though likely not more than a couple of pounds) - i should be able to run smaller mufflers, and lose the resonator altogether - we'll see
yes, a repaint is near - the denver trip 2 years ago with it on the trailer backwards did a number on it, and there are a few chips now, albeit filled, but still they bug me
when i do repaint it, she is in for a whole new string of mods, this time on the body
How about the interior - such as door panels (hint, hint...)?
PLEASE stop coming up with mods. My wife is starting to notice!
lol - high on the list - the door panels are a no brainer, and i'll probably order them in the next couple of weeks - the hang up on the installation though is the time to do the dash - i want them all to match and i'm just trying not to take the car down until end of summer - trying hard to actually drive it right now
