CL-S progression 01

iTrader: (2)

shave the ammount you need off and put her back on?

it's so easy to make the BAY look mint when you got the cover

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

yea i thought about that just havent gotten around to try and do it. ive been focusing on others parts to order.

CL-S progression 01

iTrader: (2)

lol that sounds lazy to me... 5 mins and i'd be done that. and an hr later it'd be painted.

next day you'd be like :-) why didn't I do that sooner

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

yea your right.

gnuts

iTrader: (1)

check out the comptech directions for the s/c install...it shows you what and where to trim off the cover to allow it to fit back on.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

Thanks I'll check that out.

look at rondogs (post#36) to give yourself an idea of what needs to be trimmed

damn I love this thread SO many hard earned engine bays. Hats off to all of you Aziners! we all got a heck of a lot of character under the Hood.

I wonder how many man hrs it took?? lol

that nitrous and turbo one musta taken FOREVER

he's even got Comptech Headers that he obviously cut and made into a turbo manifold... EXPENSIVE but oh so sexy.

Props everyone

why does NO ONE have P2R plenums AND the CT supercharger?? I don't get it. does it not fit? Cause you'd thing it be even MORE useful with that added air charging in there no?

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

it should fit no problem, but i think the problem is they want $650 for those plenums (unless of course you found them alot cheaper), so not too many of them around

civicdrivr

That and running the larger plenums is pointless on a FI car. Its more area to fill with air, which in turn leads to lag.

I guess Ill post mine. But by mid-december it won't look anything like this :



Sorry for the shitty pic, its the only one I have since the manifold swap

CL-S progression 01

iTrader: (2)

it actually looks elegant with the dim lighting

Jacobpockros

iTrader: (1)

Civicdrivr, do you get any hp gains from the manifold swap? It looks sick

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

you must like small things unlike your avatar
try a j36 or even a j37

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Yup, even with my motor on its last leg it still produced decent gains through the whole RPM band.

Pfft, J37s are weak, they cant handle boost.

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

that is why i said J36 first

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Your story is full of holes

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

like your fender and front bumper are

stlswagger

Dayum, what are you guys using to paint all the plastics?

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

God damn you


I believe some people use rattle can paint while others use automotive paint.

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

but about the paint i think they might be using duplicolor matched paint which i know geneally is available at autozone unless of course they got a bodyshop to paint it which would then be real auto paint,
but just remember how it turns out, is all about how well you prep it before hand

Allout

I didn't trim per the Comptech instructions. I took my time and measured to minimize the amount that I trimmed. I ended up keeping a majority of the plastic around the oil filler hole.

i want to try and tackle this within the next week or so. the bay looks better with the covers.

Jacobpockros

iTrader: (1)

You should paint your cover San Marino Red before you do it. THAT would be sickk

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

i would trim FIRST then paint it, so you don't have to worry about screwing up the paint

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

nah im going to leave it the stock color and just trim it.

I kid. It looks pretty good though. Ive always like the intake mani on the old J30s.

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

it is our little sis/bro

iTrader: (3)

+1 i used to have a red '99 3.0 before i moved up to a '01. the intake mani was one of things i liked about it.

It needs a good port and polish, and a nice mirror shine on the outside, then I'll be happy with it.

Thanks fellas
