Orange Krate · 08-16-2021, 10:43 PM

I had a visit from my Grandson yesterday, who is now 5 years old. He is starting Kindergarten today. To celebrate that milestone I took him for his first unofficial ride (around the block) in Orange Krate and took a photo of him in the trunk as I did when he was a baby in 2016 (see previous post above). The last 5 years have gone by at breakneck speed.

Happy "Kinnygarden" Day Jaxon!

Love, Papa

Orange Krate received a present for his 12th birthday. A new Corsa Exhaust set. 3" cat back. What an improvement in tone and it just feels more responsive. Will post some photos and video soon.

Are you still running with the factory exhaust manifold and cats?

Yes. Stock up to exhaust pipes.

I used chrome stainless nylock nuts to hold the capscrews in place. About $33.00 my cost here in So Cal.... probably $5.00 elsewhere!

This is a pretty straight forward DIY project so I will not go into detailed explanation. However I will say that if you do try this project it is a good idea to put masking tape or painters tape over the area you are drilling to protect the surrounding plastic and drill a pilot hole first so there is less chance of drill bit drift with the larger size. I like this little modification and have seen no others like this.

I had to take Orange Krate on a cold winter's night up to my expectant daughter's house. She is due very soon. I had to leave Orange Krate out in the cold. First time ever in freezing weather. It's 25 degrees and frosty. Snow up on the mountain tops. This was Orange Krate staring at me waiting for some relief. Will advise when the stork arrives. Ironically today is my Grandson Jaxon's 8th birthday. He has known Orange Krate his whole life.

Congrats on the new addition to the family!

Car will be fine as long as no one tries to draw on it
