Nobody around me has the polished couplers, if someone could refer me to exactly what I need I greatly appreciate that! Also, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could do to clean up the engine in terms of looks? I really hate the black tubing running all over the place, I love braided hosing... I really wanna get the intake cleaned up first though!

For the large bend between the TB and the MAF I used a 3" diameter 180 degree U bend on mine. I hooked it to the TB and used a ruler to approximate the angle I needed to get it aimed at the fender, marked a line with a marker, and cut off part of the bend on that side to make it less than a 180 degree turn.

You have a different MAF and air filter than what I'm using, but from there it's just a matter of using the right size couplers for the MAF and another short pipe to get to the filter. The couplers give you some wiggle room for adjustment to make everything fit at the right angle.

I'm using the LT1 MAF which is 3.5" instead of 3" outside diameter, so I used a 3" to 3.5" adapter at the end of my U-bend, a 3.5" short pipe with a 45 degree bend to go into the fender, a couple of 3.5" couplers and a K&N cone filter with a 3.5" inlet. Getting a 3.5" pipe by the battery might be hard, so you might be better off with the stock MAF and 3" stuff anyway. You could probably use a 30 or 45 degree pipe (which ever will get it through the fender hole) and whatever size filter will fit inside the fender.

edit: and I had rubber grommets left over from old air boxes etc that came with the kit. If you drill the right size hole in those aluminum pipes, you can fit a rubber grommet in them and plug the intake tube for the PCV directly into that.

Alright, I will look into it! Thanks as always Aaron! At some point in time I'd like to scrap my air/fuel gauge so I can pick up my boost gauge, would also like to try out a smaller pulley as well...

the JDM tails came yesterday.




and before with the stock tails.



you can see the sparkle of paint in this one

[AaronGTR]

Looks good Brendan. I like the change!

[geldartb]

thanks. even came with the amber bulbs for the turns..probably gonna get some led's down the road so it will get rid of that hint of orange.

it was a plug and play deal..guy included the harness on the tail light side.

Well I haven't had much time/money lately to work on the car, but I did do a couple little things the other day. The old glow wire on the dash stopped working a long time ago (the transformer died) so I finally pulled that off. I'm probably going to put new up, but might do it a little different. Also the yellow paint that came in the letters on my sparco steering wheel had been flaking off and looked kinda crappy. I never liked the yellow anyway, so I scraped the rest out and painted them gray to match the rest of the interior.

It's like a 5' string of wire that glows like a neon light.

And my car will sit like this for the next week or so.

Super old pic with a crappy camera, but you get the idea. Old company called Street Glow that used to sell neon underbody and interior lights also sold this fiber optic stuff called glow wire. Was all pre-assembled with a transformer and came in 5', 10', or 15' lengths. I did a bunch of my dash with it and both the trim panels in the doors.




Here's a better pic of the door after I added red LED's to the map pockets. The dash wire is burned out by the time this pic was taken. It actually looks pretty sweet at night and is one of the few mods I did long long ago that I still like. I've got sound activated neons under the dash too, and in the trunk over the subs.

It's like watching tron.

Aaron is such a cute ricer.

[sleepyalero]

Interesting. Just not what I would do.

Maybe if my car was a show car.

[TDavis]

Yeah I have yet to do anything to the interior besides LED lighting and red arrowhead on the steering wheel. Very easy to make the interior of the GA look tacky IMO, not to mention the dark grey interior that some came with does not really flow with anything other then dark colors.

[geldartb]

put some led's in the door panels..these are blindingly bright i had to unhook the button to tell the car the door was closed. also did the hvac controls with led's



was trying to put led's in the plate lights but the right side was being a bitch and it's because the lights i got are slightly oversized.

Hate the wheels, but car looks pretty clean otherwise.
