sweet. feels good to be shooting, huh. i mounted my switched under the arm rest, right below the cig. lighter. then but crap on top of it, it was a good spot for it.

the bottle warmer is good if u have enought time to warm up the bottle. and if u leave it on it will kill the battery. i use a torch. works a lot faster, unsafer but as long as u know how to do it "properly", it works good.

Hello fellow CTer! It looks like your CL-S rims are polished? Not quite chrome but still shiny. I'm thinking to do that to my wheels also.

Use a torch to get it up to pressure, and the warmer to keep it there. In my experience the warmer alone would never get the pressure up high enough. Proper pressure=much much better hit

Also-those remote gauges tend to be off about ~150 psi. Get a bottle mounted one in addition to the other.

have fun

I think it might be illegal in CT to even have a kit installed, I can't remember. Former AZ member Malingator had nitrous in his TL, and I think he told me it was illegal, but he is a cop so he didn't care haha.
