entrax's 4th ST16x...an Alltrac!

It's been a long time, but I finally got it on the road!

The final list has been:
Rear subframe
Oil pan hammered out
Rear wheel bearings
Front corner lights
Front body frame areas were straight enough according to a different shop, but it failed because of the welds as seen above. Stripped the welds down, rewelded, painted, rust coated, and it was good enough.


So I treated the car to a set of FRS TRD RS2.0 wheels and a 3" exhaust is on the way in the mail!

 

Hey Rick, perhaps we can do a photoshoot sometime since my car is out and about now! Weathers supposed to be nice the next couple weeks!

 

This happened:

So I bought an XSpower st165/st185 3" catback to replace the whole deal. Now it sounds super nice. It has a deep tone at idle and below 3k rpm, above that it growls at you. Very similar to the factory mr2 turbo exhaust so it's still very much oem-sounding as well as oem-looking.

Some areas will need massaging: under oil pan, under footwell, above rear subframe. Otherwise, very impressed.

 

it took me about an hour to remove the old exhaust (i had already cracked them loose at work on a hoist then retightened to drive home).
it took about another hour and a half to put the new one on.

 

Took the car up to Whistler BC for a trip this past weekend. Tons of fun and tons of grip!

 

So 8 years later and I'm still playing with the same st16x shenanigans...


oh fuck here we go



ahahhaa as expected.

 

yep full to the brim! i think the carpet was wet because it would spill when i drove it lol

 

time to fix this once and for all...







works well!
cost me about $60, oem parts, only two required.
