^ do it, thats a freaking cheap mod! Well under dark lighting, if you turn off the flash, then your shutter has more delay to allow more light in, so you just need to hold it still for a bit, hence the tripods. Hence, my blurry pics

Normaly i would say yes to chasis bracing BUT if you havent done so already, put that money towards a set of koni's and that alone will improve your handling much more so then the underbrace.

None of these shots have seen photoshop so I apologize if the lighting isn't perfect. I'm also not that great with the SLR yet, getting there. I just wanted to get them posted up for you guys.

You can only get this if you buy all 3 pieces and then use it to attach a completely flat belly pan to it so you have a real race car.

hey fobstylez, I was noticing that your headlights are getting a little foggy (from the pix I took). You should get some of this 'ish, it's like magic.

http://www.lotionsource.com/details/...chremover.html

I've been using it for years and it makes headlights look like new. An 8oz bottle will last you a couple years.

Anyone else get that big rain storm a hour or so ago?


I did, and got caught driving in it. Long story short, i just got done pouring water out of my intake manifold.

Looks like a part out may be soon, tired of the issues with a lowered modified car.

I have no idea how it got water in it. My intake is behind my fog lights...i hit no puddles...and drove through no ruts with standing water.

Ill put it all back together tomorrow and cut the intake down. Go pick up my stock suspension and start taking off what i can to sell/trade.

^ Oh snap man..I drove through it all just fine. Even hit a few nice puddles and made water fly up everywhere. Could it be fender liner related? Didn't you take em off cuz of rubbing or something?
Anyways, what I did notice is that my tires are baaaaaddddddd. I tried to get around a car on the freeway and didn't even floor it or downshift and my VSA kicked on cuz I lost traction. I start to lose it in some turns when it's wet too. Stupid Zexius tires...

I didnt completely remove the liners, only cut a chunk out of them I.f thats the case im still baffled as to how that much water could have been sucked up. When it all started i was off the throttle coasting to a red light.

Anyways, Ive got it all back together right now. Fired right up and ran smooth. Throwing a couple engine codes for MAP sensor and ThrottlePS. Resetting the ECU and see what happens. Running a ghetto hacked up Short Ram that i made out of my fujita intake

Either way, im ready for a truck/suv to lug around camera gear and the pup. I spent enough time worrying about hitting a bump and bending a wheel, or if ill clear a speed bump, or how many people i can get into my car before it rubs...etc etc.

wonder how that happened. intake won't be sucking up water like that unless they are submerged. did you take off the under panels too?


go for honda element if you gonna get a suv

Exactly why i cant figure out what happened. All my under panels are in place so i have no clue. On a good note i just reset the ECU and now have no codes being thrown. Took it on a 3 mile drive to see if anything would pop up and nothing yet.

As for a replacment im looking for something that i will come out ahead on. So a "down grade" is expected but i need something i can afford to fix if something comes up.


Min do you happen to have your stock intake you'd be willing to sell? Not sure if you kept that or not.

Let me know.
