damn nice !!!

looks awesome Steve....your engine bay has come a longggg way !!!

 

All of the equipment is there, thanks to you, Anil!

 

^^^ thanks for the beers and pizza

 

I owe you more than that.....

 

^^^ strippers ???

no, wifey wont allow that

on a serious note, its all good buddy....

 

The only acceptable place for stickers... the FSB

Looks amazing Steven! The red cover never gets old, it's so shiny!

 

Gorgeous pictures, Steven...
the only other place I put stickers are the plastic covers for the trunk hinges...only place i have stickers.

 

Should I take off the AEM sticker?

 

Yes

 

It's up to you, but a red AEM sticker would look nice

 

That sticker was sent with the CAI-I'll take it off and see if I can get a red AEM sticker.

 

Stickers approves stickers.

Looking good Steven! Hopefully next weekend we can get together and get some pics of all the TLs!

 

Loving these updates Steven!

 

Looks awesome, thats what I want to do to my brakes. Hopefully I can get to it this weekend.

 

At your suggestion, I took off the AEM sticker from the Cold Air Intake.....better?




Parking Log Shot.....

 

soooooo much cleaner....glad you took the sticker off Steven...

 

Thanks buddy! It does look better.

 

Ditto!

So, you done for awhile now?

 

steve don't tell me you are done!... there has to be something else on your to-do list

 

Very nice!!!

 

^^^ UR Pulley.....later.

 

or maybe a rv-6 strut bar? just a suggestion sir...

 

don't forget the CF roof

yup better without the sticker... I tried exactly same thing too and ended up removing it
if it was red sticker, maaaay be ok

 

Kix, I actually have a RV-6 rear sway bar. Are you talking about a front sway bar?



Yea, the Carbon Fiber roof is always on my mind. I'll also check into a red AEM sticker.

 

I think he was referring to the RV-6 Strut bar when he made that comment^

Steve the car is looking nice as per usual....what do you use to clean your engine bay? What's your process?

 

^rv-6 front strut bar mr.bell, i saw it yesterday they are on sale for 129 i think.

 

Congrats on the kit, looks good. Better than mine, i have a small gap on the front lip on one side. I even paid the bodyshop to fix it and it came loose again. Oh well

 

Steven...

I saw water drops around my intake...
This morning I was on highway and 75mph and there was heavy rain...I mean really heavy
After driving like 10 minutes, weird sound came from the throotle. When I leave the pedal it's good but as I give more gas, sound becomes louder.

anyways it continued like 40 seconds, I slowed down and then sound never came back

I got home and checked the intake, that air pipe in front of it, had water drops on it, and the heat shield kind of thing that I placed under the intake had water drops on it to...

When I was coming from Maine last week, it was raining crazy again, and exactly same thing happpend..
But not opening the throotle much made it go away after 40-50 seconds later...
Never stopped the car too.... drove 200 miles to home

That heat shield was kind of wet again...

I don't know if it's my front pipes that made water go through.. you know how I connected the air pipes in front of the battary, but I don't think so...
Because how could top of the pipe become wet
It leaked from the side of the hood?

 

I have had experiences where the hood leaks some water into the engine bay during hard Florida rains. It's not enough to draw any concerns, but I always check after I get home to make sure everything is okay. Maybe it's just bad seals (if the hood even has seals?) because my trunk leaks, too.

 

Dude I have SRI there...
Sound from the engine was like twice the intake sound... but not enjoyable sound
I don't know if harmed something or not..

Bad seal might have caused it.. there is only that plastic cover on the edge

I'll either get those window seal things from home depot and stick it there or cover top of the intake with something flat..
I'll create something but I don't know what that noise was
god damnit

 

Thanks Shadow! I really don't do anything special for the engine bay. I just try to keep it clean all the time.



Thanks Kix! I will check that out.



BF, I've got a small gap on each side of the front lip too.




MEKO-I hope you get it figured out! You might ping Swoosh. He might have some ideas for you.

 

Meko, maybe something like this will work: http://shop.autoanything.com/air-fil...A2582A0A0.aspx (link doesn't work so just Google Injen Hydro Shield)
They are designed so water doesn't get through the filter into the engine.

 

I wonder if the Injen will work on an AEM filter?

 

Very nice car SB. Seeing your color makes me wish I had gotten the silver too, but I actually like the CBP I have.

 

Buddy, I love your color TL as well. I didn't have a color choice when I bought my Type S.

 

^correction sir its for $124...which is a good deal! I'm debating if I'm going to get one myself!

 

I ordered one of these yesterday from Amazon. I got the AEM version-just be safe!

 

Car looks amazing man!

 

Yeah Steven...definitely I will talk to Anil thanks
I have K&N version but I won't use it.. I don't want to cut the air going into the filter...

I will play with it today... was busy yesterday.

 

CALM DOWN MEKO LOL....

that injen thing is a waste....if you plan on putting that on the air filter, i would suggest you revert back to stock....

Meko, the noise you hear is from the filter trying to suck air into the engine....i have a 4" SRI and damn i love that sound....if you are worried about tiny droplets hydrolocking your engine, you can sprinkle water on the intake and nothing will happen....smart thinking on your part was that you didnt open the throttle completely or hit vtec or some....

but you are fine !!!
