Finished working on it at bout 9.30 tonight, been at it all day trying to buy a silicone reducer (ripco wants $60, superexpensive wants $35, finally found it at BNT performance for $12 as it should be) that and sanding down a 3 inch joiner for the pod filter because the nutter at ripco sold me 3 inch clamps that were borderline 76mm and were a tight squeeze to get on. Also reshaped, cut, plastic welded & sanded the intake resonator to remove the resonance chambers and fit the air temperature sensor from the old airbox. Motor sounds alot better, will take pics during the day, This is just a temporary measure till we get a 3" aluminum ram pipe.

Sweet sounds like you guys have done it the right way. Nice looking forward to pics.

I've almost finished building my own CAI so I've gifted my SRI aluminum pipe to Nat, The sound of her motor instantly brought back memories of my old SS-I frown.gif Sorry for the lack of pictures at the moment, we'll get to that one.. This SRI pipe is a bit of a whore btw, It came from a half cut of a honda intake, and went into my friends Mirage Mivec 1.6 and then into my 95 SS-I and then into my 96 SS-III and now into Nat's 97 SS-I, Still sounds brutal as ever.

We also made her gauge cluster lights hot pink by using White LED T10 and T5 wedge bulbs and pink water baloons, They look good, again, photos soon.

I still have a few Go-Fast tricks for you yet smile.gif

Haha awesome so still got a few tricks up your sleeve?

Cant wait to see some photos of that interior i bet its definitely different smile.gif.

Yeah some fairly major things since I noticed her intake manifold and throttle body were much smaller than my what was on my old 1995 3s-fe

Clock & Dash (Camera doesn't do it any justice at all sorry) -- Thanks to WWsidewinder for showing us how to properly change the clock colour

So sad that so many cars today are slushboxes...oh well. Looks nice. Is the speedo a little uneven or is that just the pic?
The camera always fails to capture it how it's seen with the eyes, the first pic is alot closer to what it is except the white in the corner is where the Pink condom fell off the white bulb, The clock matches with a brighter pink but once again the camera fails to capture it frown.gif

lol as to using condoms its the tip of a balloon tht we use to slip the led bulb into.. pretty much the same thng u use a condom for but funner:P the correct term would be a silicone sleeve but calling it a condom is so much more realistic. anyway yea i got my 6gen bak thank goodness and no the camera dont do it nice kinda captures everything u dont want to and not capture everything u do wanna. ill use my dads camera and take pics of our cars again sometime. thanks fr the replys guys.. anyway will post some more later. mike dont really leave me much to tlk with since he beats me to everything. tongue.gif
