I would leave now but it's monsoon raining and there's a broken down bus on the highway I need to drive... no point in leaving just to sit in that crap.

Took the car out after relocating the temp sensor away from the oil cooler this morning. Got it up to running temps and then pulled some data logs for UpRev to dial in the tune again. It was a beautiful sunny day today too! Perfect day for a cruise....

Ha. Me too. I am going to be 52 this year and I am in the "My mind says YES and my body says MAYBE" mode.

Ok, this isn't exactly matching up. Any advice?

You have to remove the machined aluminum piece on the Z1 tube. Not sure why they included those

Np, glad I could help

A few other things that made the install smoother for me...
I removed the strut bar. Unless you want to be in the garage cussing for a few hours, it's worth the time taking this off first.
I trimmed the tubes up 1/4" on the airbox side. Again, same thing as strut bar.
I also unbolted the airboxes. This made it easier to maneuver the tube onto the throttle body, once connected.
It's also easier with two people.

Strut bar was removed, working with a friend to finish it. Taking a break right now.

Done! I think.
Questions: Should I be feeling air from the spot where my hand is?
Does that other part im holding get removed for good?
Sorry for the bad picture, flash sucks.
Also, need to now figure out how to get this broken bolt out and replaced.

Not sure about the air bit, but it doesn't necessarily surprise me.

That's a resonator, and yes..you're done with it.

D'oh on the broken bolt!

Sure does look tasty! What's your immediate take?

Oh, did you do it yourself?

Oh yeah..Nice Hand! You should be a hand model!
