Did not see the leaf last night, was probably a fluke then that the buds got behind the bumper.

What are the odds of two cigarette butts being washed up in there though? That is strange.

theDreamer · 12-30-2009, 05:06 PM

Bizarre, but not overly concerned, they are gone and everything is cleaned out. Now if I could only get a day without rain so I can wash my car.

How does it feel?

Been unable to do any real tests since the roads have been wet since the install.

Finally got around to being able to drive the car and push it.
Hard to tell any real difference, sound change is minimal at best, with any being in the sub 3,000RPM range. Overall I am much happier with these intakes (so far), also with installing them I really got to see what spending some extra money gets you. Not all are these intakes great for performance, but they are built very well and the parts supplied are top notch. Next dyno run for me will not be until after the F.I. long tube headers are on, and at that point I will have all my performance parts done for awhile.

Now for the fun, was in Galveston to ring in the New Year and when leaving today (took the ferry back) my car was being eyed by some passengers and this one I was able to get a picture of. He is turned around in it but that is because I am slow in getting my camera out.

Yeah, hoping the Shiner tour we do is after I get my LTH & exhaust on my car. That way people can hear things, and I can show off a bit.

vipor · 01-01-2010, 09:41 PM

we'd have to wait until pretty much April for the LTH's. not sure if we can hold out that long.

theDreamer · 01-01-2010, 09:58 PM

Well I think most people will want to do it in March probably, and that will be right before I get them.

theDreamer · 02-06-2010, 04:45 PM

Since I have what I want performance wise done to the car, well once the parts arrive, I am starting to work on style now. First up on the agenda, painting the engine cover (none on the car as I have more work today but the engine cover is done):

I told my friend to find the pink he had in his garage, but noooo.

Yep, it was a minor change really and more so just to see how it would turn out.
The "U" part is a bright silver and we darkened it to more of a graphite and the same with the Nissan logo. Blacked out the VVEL completely, and highlighted the V6 in red. I was thinking of making the inset part of the Nissan logo red also, but liked how it came out in the end.

I like it. Different and subtle.
