AutoPros V8 Build - Photo Thread

[vt_maverick]

I think I just got a little 'exited'....

A true V8 rumble coming out of a VX....

Really? Sounds a bit zingy to me. Look forward to hearing it again with intake and exhaust in place.

AutoPros - what exhaust are you guys planning? I imagine Africa doesn't have the emissions requirements we do here...

[VX KAT]

Owner lives in Africa. VX will be shipped out as soon as it's complete.

Is it IMPI's in South Africa??
I know he bought a second one a few months ago.

Just saying......actual V8 noise from a VX MAKES ME HORNY BABY!

Lol Jo... I'm impressed with the build, just not with the sound... yet. I have every confidence that it will sound awesome with the right intake and exhaust.

Mav, are you out of your mind? This is the sickest, most badassedest growl I've ever heard from a VX, and I know I'm not alone.

Edit: Just listened again and yeah... You out 'cho mind. Reminds me of this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxPECBDZr8M


Hi gang!
-The slightly storm-weary V

[vt_maverick]

Guess I just expect more out of a V8 - doesn't sound much different than some V6's I've heard.

[AutoPros]

This is dumping straight out of the headers. Its going to have a higher pitch because of zero back pressure and valve train noise not being filter out by cats & mufflers. Although the owner wants it quiet, so it will be mild when all said and done. The intake I believe should be finished up later today, so a bunch of pics to follow!

Can you throw out a ballpark number on the total cost of this project?

[vt_maverick]

I know AP, just teasing some overly zealous members.

If you have to ask...

The unfortunate truth!!!

Hint: Remember how much the VX sold for new???

With these guys, you def get what you pay for (I've never seen better work) but your sphincters will be in permanent lockdown.

ROFL!! I'm guessing somewhere between $12-20k. If so, that's not a bad price for a brand new vehicle I hope they have good financing though...!!

Just doing the e-rod motor, trans, transfer case, adapters, drive shaft, wiring & programming... you are probably in the area of 20-25K. This build is also getting a/c, suspension upgrades, brake upgrades, audio upgrades, lighting upgrades, tires, intake and exhaust, and more... should be around 35K when he is done. But until all of our numbers are in, this is a guess-timate.

I will be putting pictures up today as the intake gets completed.
