Makes's sense, more air flow that way...Does it ever end, working on the car that is....

Joey,

ahhaa I Guess not :D

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO Cold Air intake done :)

pics?

also filter or no?

True,
I"l take pic to later(quality won't be good) but I"ll give you an idea :).

Pretty easy hehehe:) I got some 3" aluminum tube left over if any one wants to try it.

$45- hahah if you want to try. It cost me alittle more<-- mostly from small parts I tried using :).

I'm in the garage...redoing the wiring for the xbox

Cold Air
 

Here you go.

K&N RC-5000

You'll probably notice I had to remove the all of the stock Airbox.
The bottom will most likly fit back in if I trim it alittle. Instead I"ll fab
another one out of aluminum.

nice :)

I just accidently put a knarly cut in my thumb...oops...blood is on everything

fortunately I was just finishing

now to sooth it with beer and steaks on the grille :D

hahaha another war wound :)

Lower intercooler

Looks good SPEED!!!

Before I forget, anyone have recommendations for tires if I'm doing 8 month driving in MN? I hear the stock tires lose traction at lower temperatures, which are pretty common in MN. I don't think I need snow tires per se, I've got a beater I can drive in the winter. However, some people who can speak from experience would be great.

hmm can't help you...I have a another set of stock rims with Blizzak LM-22s sitting in my garage...they are all aligned so I just jackup nand swap on my own

just know...under 45degrees and our stock tires easily break free...after warming up, not so much so...but lets just say as soon as the temp goes into freezing or lets say any ice/snow/etc. you are driving 4 blocks of ice...it is totally undriveable

HEHE:) yes, stock tires are no good in snow/ice.

Giving back to the community:
For those interested.

I'll be taking my bumper off this weekend and will write up the cold airt intake DIY.

nice :D

I hope the price comes down on the interceptor unit from Mazsport...290hp with stock components is one thing but 250 torque! my goodness...especially since it is from a reputable Rotary Tuner :D

Yes, I sure hope it comes down(Under 1000). I'll need to get a part time job to fund this hobby:D ahaaha
or the WIFE will not let me buy it. :( hhehehe.

how the heck did this thread get up to 27 pages???? :eek: :D

hahhaha I think most of it is us:) :D
