Car looks dope, personally I don't like the emblems on the trunk like that but other then that it looks fantastic!

 

Finally stumbled across your thread, Steven. If you still plan on working on your car, I don't think I'll be able to make it over today. I hope those LED's play nice this time!

 

Guys-swoosh and I finished up my car today. We spent only 3 hours fixing the LED in the driver's side headlight. We also installed an AEM Short Ram Cold Air Intake! Here are the photos....



Finished product-notice the rear Brembo covers. They "finish" the look, in my opinion.







Plus, Anil and I took a glamour shot of our cars together. The picture is significant. Not because of the cars, but because of the place we took the pictures. Behind the TL's is the land swoosh and his wife just purchased to build their very first house! Congrats buddy.

 

Damn hot Christ.

 

Yikes!...love the engine bay color combo

 

^^^ Thanks guys-I'm really happy with the car, as it sits now.

The only other thing I will probably do is a UR Pulley-at some time.....

 

Looks great!

 

^^^ Thanks buddy-but what the hell was the motivation behind your new Avatar?

 

 

Looks just like my SRI.. Steven update us on the difference it gave

Is that AEM's pipe? I never saw one like that.
3" dia?
and last question, did the filter sit right in front of the air pipe?

Hoooot pictures

 

Car looks awesome Steven. Crazy how much the A-Spec kit really accentuates the drop you're getting from the springs.

 

I think that's AEM's pipe, MEKO. Yes, the filter sat right in front of the pipe-it's a tight fit, but all seems to be going well with it.

I bought this off of Amazon for $78, so the price was definitely right!

And like I've always said, a CAI is growl, so it has a little of that. I really got it so it would be easier to get to the driver's side headlight.

 

^^^That's actually an excellent price for a short ram! Nicely done, Steven.
And technically, you could probably put in some sort of baffle to keep the hot engine air from getting to it too.

J.

 

I love this and that just about convinces me to get this intake. Car looks fantastic, Steven....very nice.

btw, please teach Anil how to upload photos!

 

Sorry I couldn't make it out yesterday, Steven, but it looks like you guys got everything together! I hope those LED strips don't give you any more shit haha

Do you like the sound of the intake?

 

Thanks for the warm wishes Steven




He lovesss it

 

Thanks Jeremy. Anil and I will talk about your suggestion!



Glad I could help, buddy! Yes, I'll help Anil. God knows he's helped me so much. It's the least I could do....


No worries David-it actually only took us 3 hours for the 3 mods. It has a nice growl to it!



Thanks KJ-I agree!

 

It's 2.75" also, just like my custom SRI + the design
so I think I did a good job on it but if I knew this I would've not waste my time with custom.
So cheap


How about front of the battart Steven?
You won't get enough air unless you connect the two pipes. Tested that

 

^^^ MEKO if you order that kit made sure you have an extra 67-83 SS band...the kit comes with only 2 bands for the coupler but doesnt have a band for the air filter....you can reuse one of the stock bands if you want....

also have another tiny band for the PCV tube

 

Steven, your engine bay is

Love the SRI! Looks very clean!

 

Thanks Anil... I thought about it when I saw the amazon picture
But I will keep mine.. I think
K&N pipe also has a bolt place to get it attached...

^^^ hahah nice....yeah this kit didnt come with a screw/bolt either...

i think they should charge another 2-3 bucks but include all of this with the kit....the pipe diameter looked a little small but i have a 4" intake so i thought maybe thats why LOL

 

Thank brother! I'm enjoying it.

 

Agree about the engine bay - lets get some full shots of it! For the most part I haven't been a fan of the painted covers that I've seen, but from the partial shot of yours, it's looking pretty awesome!

 

I'll take some shots of it later today. I have to go to the radio station after work, so I'll shoot a pic for you.

 

Good stuff Steven! Congrats to Anil! Can't wait buddy!

 

Yeah man, CAI are fun to listen to. Nice color combo too!

 

Damn it.....I forgot to take new pictures. Here's an old picture of the engine compartment. I'll take new shots tomorrow.

 

Steven those are old pix

 

I think he was just showing the guy asking about the engine bay color for the covers...
But I agree, I'd like to see updated ones!

 

Yea. That was me asking. Looks sweet Steven, and the intake just adds to the look. Did you have that all sprayed or do it yourself?

 

^^^ thats why I asked him to post new ones....the intake filter material is kinda red in color and the coupler is red too which IMO adds to the look of the bay

 

No, they were painted by a friend who does mobile spot painting.


I agree Anil !!! I'll get some better pictures today guys. I posted those last night, even though they are old, until I could get some better ones today for you....sorry.

 

and pix of the radio station ???

can i come visit you at work

 

Steven...car looks AMAZING, great progress!!! I'm glad you finally decided to get the aspec kit after all this time

 

+1

I wanna hit the button that plays Freebird Long bathroom breaks FTW!

 

Matt....we should all go visit him....run to him yelling "daddy daddy daddy"

 

Yes and yes! Really....if you want to see the radio station, you can come!



Thanks brother-I'm VERY happy with the way she looks and performs



I would let you do that....


LOL...........no.

 

Here you go, guys!! Pictures of promised Engine Bay.
