Finally got it done

[merlin2569]

Finally finished up with the install of the new MPI 180 turbo and my new graphics for the year. The install went pretty well. Ran into a few problems with install of the turbo because of the trail tank. Nothing major but it took a little engineering to get the tank and the turbo to work together. Overall very happy with the fit, finish, and quality of the MPI products. Can't wait for it to snow! Hurry up winter! This is the only picture I have so far hopefully get more taken by the end of the week.

Looks sweet. Nice job! Im trying to hold off a bit otherwise the park down the street will be torn back.. Does she run nice?

 

[merlin2569]

Ya it ran really nice. Can't wait to try it out in snow. The grass just doesn't do it justice

Good job on the build, can't wait to start mine. Mine will be a little close to the wire unfortunately, but should work out.

Love the skin, wanted to put the exact one on mine, but they don't offer anything for the Apex. It's an AMR right?

 

[merlin2569]

Yep its an AMR very happy with the quality.

Yeah I REALLY liked their stuff, but when I asked about Apex stuff he said they were working on some templates, but hadn't gotten them done yet. That was last year and there still isn't any Apex stuff, so I guess I'm screwed.

Jealous. Looks great. Can't wait to get my air frames. Those things look great. As much as I want a turbo I think that will have to wait till next year.

Finally got a few more pics taken.

Need to get some of those AIRFRAMES. Snow eliminators good, Better boards better but those got to be the best... What rear bumper are you running?

 

[blackhillsnytro]

Thats looking really good

The rear bumper was a Skinz. I tail landed hard last winter and broke the rear section of my tunnel and the bumper. All I had left to use from the old bumper was the part to grab on to. So I took measurements of the side parts that broke on the skinz bumper and used a couple pieces of diamond plate that were laying around and made one out of that with the same measurements as the skinz one. Then brought it in and got it powdercoated. It turned out pretty good.
