http://www.jcwhitney.com/item.jhtml?ITEMID=4069&BQ=jcw2

and i am hoping to make an intake for my 3.2. i am following the instructions posted on http://www.teamdelsol.com/howto/coldair/diycoldair.htm

if anyone has any tips or suggestions please let me know.

thanks,
will

 

anybody with a 2.5 live near you?? if so, you think you can make one for a 2.5 TL and sell it to me?!

 

i know of a couple 2.5's...but i am not sure if they would be up for me messing with their engine...let me see how this one goes first and if it succesful...we can talk

will

 

hows it going so far??

 

Yea, how is it going so far.

 

still waiting for the damn pipe to come in

 

you know what my friend told me? he said you could also go to any autopart store that sells ACP (or is it APC??) anyway, he said to just buy any of the intake they sell there and cut that one up... i guess the one that jc provide is suppose to be better. hey will, what are you goign to do with that air sensor plug?!?! you know that one black square plug?? once you change out your intake, that air sensor plug will be useless. i dont know if that'll effect anything but im sure it does. (hope i didn't ruin your plan for the new ghetto mod hehehe) just do it and let us know how it turns out!!!

 

stupid pipe didnt come today....oh well...hoping for the weekend. as for the plug you speak of...i know of two hoses comming out of my stock rubber: one is big and the other is small.
for the big one, filters are made for those specifically and i am just going to put one on like this picture:

as for the other hose, i am going to drill a hole in my tube and attach the hose like they say to do on that del sol website. i have a friend who has tools and expierence and when i told him this idea he said it was definitely possible. if i the mail ever comes around here this week---i will try something out this weekend and let you know whats goin on. i will try to take some pictures in the process.

-will

 

cool, keep up the good work

 

hey madgreek, i just noticed you got 3 w6's...how do those hit? your trunk rattle? you dynamat your car? i got 2 12s and it rattles like a mug..

 

shoot man, it rattles so bad. because of the rattleing i barely ever have my subs up all the way. i have a 1 ohm stable amp that pushes 1000 watts. it really hits. i think in a couple of weeks or like around christmas im going to dynamat it or put this spray dynamat stuff that this stereo place showed me yestarday.

so in conclusion, It rattles like whore and hits very hard

 

pipe came in today...but work probably wont start till next weekend due to my friend with the tools going out of town
