WILL HAVE PICS LATER ON.... there was thunderstorms after i was done yesterday so couldnmt take pics

 

don't forget a CAI

 

With P2R TBS/G.

 

what does this mean.. p2r tbs/g?

and yeah i forgot to add im looking to install the aem one shortly.. but how will it make the car sound.. not ricey sounding right?

 

P2R TBS/G = P2R Throttle Body Spacer & Gaskets.
Excelerate might, repeat might, have the AEM CAI+P2R TBS/G for sale. Great guy!

I have the AEM CAI+P2R TBS/G and it's great! Doesn't sound ricey at all... nice growl once you start punching at around 2.8k RPMs.
Some folks said that some other folks can hear it at idle--I haven't really noticed much, personally.

By the way, any pics of your car as it sits now? =]

 

I have a Fujita CAI right now. I love the whistle at 2-3 RPM. Them from there on Sounds GREAT! I need to get me a P2R.

 

also can someone explain to me the used/ benefit of the p2r. am a noob when it come to this stuff,
thanks in advance

 

order ur teins by the 1st haha save alotta $$$

 

Is Fujita quiter than the AEM kit?
I've always used AEM products, but looking for something a bit quieter on the low end of the power band...

 

AEM is louder at lower RPM,
FUJITA has a whistle a low RPM, on high RPM i think is louder. check out the video on you tube!

 

injen FTW

 

minus being debadged and having the calipers painted.. this is it...

Wow looks great.
-sigh- wish my SSM had that NBP shine.

 

its good to have $$ so young...

 

thanks... jus keep cleaning... theres so many trees by my driveway I HATE POLLEN! i take the hose n have to rinse it off every morning.. ot the car looks NGP (nighthawk green pearl)

and i dont have a lot of $$ jus making a car payment but thanks

 

and if u think about it... its easier for younger people such as myself sometimes to afford a car much more than it is someone who has a lottt more bills, (rent, utilities, credit cards etc. etc.)

i just have a cell phone bill and car bill lol..yanno? thats how i always looked at it.. and theres absolutley nothing wronmg with that bc i would much rather my own house :wink:

 

Did you debadge it yourself? If so, how? Never knew how this was done...

 

i didnt do this on my previous acuras or infiniti's either and always wanted to... and its extremely easy lmao.. takes no more than ten minutes...

go buy dental floss - $1.50
and some goo gone - $2.50


take the floss and pull it basically across the whole emblem, up and down continuously, you will feel right away the glue coming off... but then your left with pretty thick glue marks once theyre off.. goo gone takes them right off.. :wink:

 

Nice!

 

do u have brembos or regular calipers? and take pics if they are brembos. id love to see that.....i was thinking of doing them in red for a lil contrast.

 

when you debadge and goo-gone the areas, make sure to apply some wax to the areas as well.

 

I used...

Boiling hot water
Dental floss
Soap/water+lots of patience

Just pour the boiling hot water over the badges, try to get it behind the badges if you can--that way it'll soak the 3m tape behind it and at the same time warm it up. Leaving your car on a sunny day also helps warm up the badges.
Then just floss it out like hoopz mentioned.. once the badges are gone--use googone.. or be like me, if you don't have any glue residue-remover... and use what you have and just wash that off manually lol.

 

lol. I try to keep the car clean. I get worried when people bring stuff into the car [such as foods/drinks... smokers]. Half my friends just leave junk in my car-assholes.
But haha even if I was and keep my exterior clean, it won't shine as much as NBP. NBPs have that crazy shine where you can see the reflection of practically anything like a mirror.

And yeah I agree with you on the payment part! It's not so bad for me, at this age, but then my parents help sometimes when I can't make a payment.
I pay for the insurance, my mom's/I cellphone[I made it a joint-account], school, credit card and whenever I can I pay for the monthly car payments.
