[crawlerdan]

always liked your work man..makes me wish i had tools

by the way- welcome to thr "ugly guy married a pretty girl" club



im the president, haha- good luck to the both of you

[Twisted Minis]

Thank you man!

And my friends all tell me the same thing, "She's too hot for you!"


I got to tinkering with my truck a little yesterday, and started on the exhaust. Will see how far I can get today. Not sure if I will need another V band or not yet.






I should just forget the muffler and run a stack, right?

[Twisted Minis]

So here is kinda where I am at right now.




Bag has plenty of room BTW.

[prawl44]

thats sick bro

[pumkin toy]

Thanks guys! I like mine a lot, its black Tungsten. Thought it was cool since I weld with Tungsten, and generally wear all black. Figured I would dress like ol Johnny Cash for the wedding, and the ring just fits.

I have the same wedding band!  I like the black tungsten..... congrats man!

[Twisted Minis]

Thanks guys!

Here is the finished exhaust.





Looks like I am doing some trade work for a VW Golf, so I can take my Audi off the road.

[THK Matt]

and The Audi goes under the knife....
trucks lookin trick bro.

[Twisted Minis]

The Audi is going into hibernation until I can afford the turbos! Lol. There is lots of little stuff that adds up really fast. Time to start collecting parts.

[THK Matt]

why not drive it til you have all the parts? reasoning for hibernating it? sorry if this has been answered already

[Twisted Minis]

Because one of the turbos is bad and it is causing problems the more I drive it.

[THK Matt]

oh its already turbo'd?

[Twisted Minis]

Ya its factory twin turbo, I'm just wanting bigger ones off the RS4.

[Twisted Minis]

Finished exhaust.


And the Golf.


Fiance already wants to paint it and tint it, and do exhaust. Lol.

[THK Matt]

haha that golf is cute.

[Twisted Minis]

Eh, its a good deal. Newer motor, good mileage, and working a deal to get ti for basically nothing. So it works for me. Its more for Catherine than myself, and she likes it.

[Dingman.]

Man I need to come down and visit and have you build me a custom exhaust.  I'm thinking headers all the way back. 

Looking good as always

[Twisted Minis]

I'm down, I love building exhaust stuff. Especially headers and tuned stuff. Math, its cool. I'm doing a 2.5" system on the Rabbit in the background above. As well as really slamming the out of it.

[46&2]

Yeah, I am definitely going to hit you up when I do exhaust on the Supra. Where are you again? Windsor?

[Bazzi]

Same car, 3 door version, a work in progress

[Twisted Minis]

Ya I am in Windsor.

[Twisted Minis]

Been cleaning the shop thoroughly. In an effort to make some room, the bed is back on. Love the way the tip came out.

[BUDDERS]

Your truck is looking real nice Twisted.

What are the plans for the VW caddy on the lift?  I've always wanted one of those....

[Twisted Minis]

I got coil overs in for it today. Building dropped upper strut caps with an updated bearing/bushing from an Audi, notching frame for axles, section oil pan, 2.5" exhaust, and bagging the back.

Should be sweet.  Can you post some pics of the progress on it?

[Twisted Minis]

Ya I will. I haven't done much because I have been fiddling with small jobs, and trying to reorganize the shop since it got so messy when I was sick. But I did the axle flip, and started on the exhaust. Going to pull the pan off right now so I can make my plan of attack for sectioning it.

Also if anyone wants custom shift knobs, I will run a "deal" on them so to speak on weekends, since things are sometimes slow and quiet here, its nice to run the lathe.

[Twisted Minis]

Welded up a simple stainless intake tube for my friends 7.3, it needs a support bracket to keep it off the inlet tube. He designed it, I just welded. Disappointed that it rests on the inlet tube, so I will probably be responsible for making the bracket. His fab skills are a little sub par, I had to straighten his cuts so I could weld the piece...lol.

[BigMike]

Hey Seth,

Spotted this Mini at a local Napa autoparts over the weekend, thought about ya

[Twisted Minis]

Do you live in Fresno or somewhere close? I think thats where that truck is from. Its always at the Visalia/Fresno shows, but no where else really.

[BigMike]

Yes, that was near the Fresno Airport

[Twisted Minis]

I've seen that thing at shows for years. Never really cared for it much, too low, the guy can barely fit in it. It used to look cleaner though.


Mine outside the shop. Sucks pushing stuff around to work on other stuff.
