Got my custom plates for the car. (seen below)

8/1/2010

Installed the retractable front plate (Show-N-Go) in the grill area. Also posted up a DIY for this install.

Where did u get ur plate frame? N how do u get it to do that?

Very nice car btw

Frame fan be found on Ebay or other online stores. Its a universal kit, I wrote a diy on my install, its similar to lee's but slightly more involved.

DIY: Show-N-Go install (Grill, center mount)

Also I have it linked in my diy but here is lee's diy too

^ thanks

There's also a link to purchase the kit in my DIY

Boost_lee · 02-21-2012, 03:17 AM

Went to a dyno day yesterday.

blue line is 4th gear pull
red line is 5th gear pull
Not thrilled with my numbers but I had fun. I'm wondering if my Cobb canned Nismo map is robbing any power. I'll probably be going back for some additional runs in the near future

Oh and don't mind the new engine bay look

not bad, you might want to try a proper tune, probably yield a few more ponies.

Yes it is, thanks to Equinox and WStar

Yea, I'll probably go Uprev after I get some intakes for the car.

Cool thanks for the help I'll look into it !!

Kingbaby · 02-22-2012, 03:13 PM

do you have stock numbers?

Don't worry about numbers if you don't have a baseline to bounce it against!

Ron · 02-22-2012, 03:15 PM

what did you do to the strut bar?

simota1 · 02-22-2012, 03:48 PM

hey bro quick question.... for the motordyne can you reinstall the stock engine cover?

yep the stock cover can be used

Boost_lee · 02-22-2012, 08:35 PM

Yes, stock engine cover bolts on fine

I hand polished the strut bar

It's not prefect, but I like it more than stock

Unfortunately no base numbers, but thats ok

simota1 · 02-23-2012, 04:35 AM

so wouldnt the strut bar rust since its metal? or you clear coated it

Boost_lee · 02-23-2012, 05:26 AM

I was planning on getting it powdercoated down the line and I did the hand polishing just before a meet.
I'll probably throw some clear on it since the local place doesn't offer the color powder I want. I just don't want it to dull or yellow the finish with the engine heat.
