I coulda swore there was a DIY in here for that?? LOL

But srsly that is my next upgrade for sure. I would've done it earlier but I park my car in underground parking and the slope to get down there is pretty serious. AND the warehouse where I store it for the winter has a steep incline to get into the fucking place.

I wont be lowering the car until I have a house with a flat driveway with a garage. Which hopefully will be next year around this time

Ive done ALOT to this car in a span of a year already lol

doing 3rd and 4th gear pressure switches next week, tranny shifts fine but just doing it as more of a preventative measure.

Got all new gaskets and spark plug seals for valve covers, and a bunch of new random hardware (nuts and bolts) all these small things add up thats for sure lol

those costs add up real quick. when i was figuring out how much my PnP and boring would cost, once i threw in the gaskets it was an extra $100 i was like damn it haha

Buy an Air Raid DYI Intake and buy a dry flow filter. Run you about $150 USD.


Yes I did buy the PnP IM and TB......thought I was out of the game and bam that had to show up

but if your TB is bigger, aren't you limiting it's potential to suck by using a smaller tube?

If the tube is about the same size as the TB then no. If its smaller than the TB then yes.

everyone claims to have a big one...

I actually saw a CAI on the BM and considered it, but fuck it...I basically have the same thing with the poor man's CAI.

replaced the o2 sensor tonight, no more engine light and Ill see what I get for mileage now, I was getting 400km to a tank which is disgusting. that should not be the case anymore.

Some bad news, when cleaning the car today I noticed this green slime all inside my front passenger wheel. when had it on my buddys lift doing the o2 sensor we discovered that the cv boot is torn and that things is just pouring out grease lol. so gonna have to get a new axle on that here soon. more money down the drain lol

Super mirror red valve covers, gloss black top plate and also refinished the strut tower brace in gloss black


Did oil change, tranny fluid, 3rd and 4th gear pressure switches today and man what a HUGE difference in the shifts now, super smooth. very worth while

DO IT! I know its not something thats seen a lot but damn it sure does look nice when the hood is popped

Im interested to see how much weight will be shed from going with the Mg Type-S valve covers and J37 Mg Manifold compared to the stock aluminum units . Ill be sure to record and report weight savings

really? Thats a common destination spot for Canadians cheap to get there and kick ass weather.

However, for me personally I was always interested in the history of Cuba hence why we toured Havana, loved it so much we want back the next year lol. One thing I will say is the food on the resorts is pretty nasty lol, go off the resort and the food is magnificent!

100% Cuban? Man I'm sure she's a rocket! LOL so many pretty women there

Yup, for canadians cuba is a common vacation spot. I have family near Toronto (Whitby, Brampton, North York) who visited also; I was pretty jelly.


+1 on the E30. I've always loved them slammed. No exhaust pipes though.
