[Thrizzl3]

so this is where you went after wings last night? you wanted to give peter your last wing that you didn't finish?? hmmm....lol

[n00bMeiSter]

You caught me phil, I was saving it for him, I just didn't want anyone to know. lol


I think I actually took those after the All You Can Eat Japanese AA Thursday meet. All I remember is it was definitely late lol. There was pretty much no one at FMP; even Diamond was empty lol!

Just got my window banner done at Autolinks this morning. Looks AWESOME, they did a phenomenal job.

Forgot to take a pic before I got to work. Will post one tonight.

Did it myself Wednesday night in my driveway, since it was only about -5C out, no wind and no snow. It was perfect. The zip-ties are there just to make sure my barometer stays snug and so that it doesn't move around.

Very excited, my first real mod, and did it myself (well a buddy helped, he held the flash lights and ripped out the bottom half of the airbox because I couldn't get it out, stupid pressure clips.

I know it's not as awesome as some of the "higher end" SRI's, but I'm loving the new sound. I will eventually upgrade it to something better or maybe a full CAI. But in the mean time I'm very happy with it and very excited. AND!!! NO CEL!!!!

Nice buddy, looks good.

P.S buy some blue zip ties lol

[n00bMeiSter]

Thanks!
Hahaha, yeah, they were the only ones that I could find that were long enough, and it was late and getting cold.
The whole install took about 3 hours, but that's because I didn't really know what I was doing, and had to follow an install for the Simota CF (mostly just the uninstall part).
And then I couldn't find any screws that were the right size or type to screw the MAF sensor down with, so I had to run out to Home Depot and try to find some lol, that took a good 45 minutes lol.

lol nice, when i installed my SRI i just used the stock MAF sensor Screws. Im surprised you had to go buy new ones.

lol nice, when i installed my SRI i just used the stock MAF sensor Screws. Im surprised you had to go buy new ones.

I forgot to mention, that is a Cosmo Racing SRI. It requires Machine Screws to attach the MAF Sensor, and the stock screws are plastic self-tapping screws.

So I bought 4 M4x16 Machine Screws and 4 M4x12 Pan Slotted Machine Screws (couldn't find any Machine Screws with a Philips Slot).

I only needed 2 machine screws, but I figured I'd buy a few extra just in case. Plus, the longer ones (the M4x16's) have to be tightened using a wrench, where as the slightly shorter ones (M4x12) are Pan Slotted.

Come spring I'm going to take it out and wash down my engine bay. I have some screws and bolts inside the bay that are rusted and need to be replaced. So I figure I'll try and set it up better then. I was just too excited and couldn't wait any longer for spring like weather to get this installed lol.

[n00bMeiSter]

I like it. I'm curious to hear some others. Thinking maybe I want a different sound, but I'm still happy with it. It's loud on the medium-high to high end of the power band, but makes the nicest sound when revving in the low end of the band.
