Chun installed an AEM cold air intake Saturday. It got late so I was unable to get an "as built" pic of the final project. We were also not able to check the fit on the R-Magic front bumper to his car.

Before I go public with this front bumper I though I would offer it locally. I purchased it about a month ago out of the Double Goose sale. After I received it I decided I did not like the style so here I go selling it. My purchase price was $600.00 plus freight. I will eat the freight and just sell it for the $600.00 I paid for it. I will leave this posted here for a few days in case someone locally wants it.

Flip has first dibs subject to painting bid.

Do you have a check engine light? If so then scan it and see what the code is. A plugged cat would generally give a code.

OK Phil I have been monitoring my temperatures. I idle right around 206 - 07. When I am running I usually stay within 185 - 195. Is she doing OK?

Den you can rent the tool at a autoparts store. And you dont have to change the fuel filter every month but if you have been using shitty gas it wont hurt to open it up and look at it.

Check your plugs, oil, vac lines.

yeah that would be a rather wasteful amount of money to change monthly, and you don't have to use "shitty" gas to get contaminates in the filter, thats why the system has a filter. Otherwise you would never have to change it, good luck with that meathod lol

Why on gods earth would you check the oil in this type of situation??

You do realize who was offering that advice, don't you?
Kinda makes that question rhetorical.

This is an "Authentic" R-Magic nose. Not a replica.

Just sayin'

Yes I have that tool......doubt very much it is that but it has happened. It's hard to diagnose a problem over the internet. Most common reasons for the lack of power are 1) coils......2) plugged cat......3) blown engine. On a stock engine that was just replaced my guess would be cat first and then coils. But hell again it's hard to diagnose from the internet.

Hard to do better. Is the scan gauge doing ok?

Thank you Easy, yup it is a authentic R-Magic nose. After all the trouble getting it here I just could not see it on my car.
