I ran an interfooler for a few weeks while waiting on the last two pipes from BEGi.

I was trying to install everything I could before actually slapping the turbo on, so I mounted the intercooler and capped it off.

I seem to remember someone acting like they wanted to race when they spotted it, but don't recall the situation.

A+ for quoting myself.

Pics of my cooldude CAI bitches.


Yeah I had to remove the COPs. The car doesn't like to start in the cold weather with them.

Pic of my even cooler exhaust baffle I whipped up one day with scrap metal. The car is SO LOUD and raspy with no turbo. I hate it. 2" pipe goes inside the 3" tailpipe about 6" and is wrapped with steel wool. Works surprisingly well.

We all lol at this, but I get the feeling that one day we're all going to have to install silencers so that we don't get arrested for people thinking we have whistle tips.

-fake brake caliper covers (brembo dust covers)
-fake engine cover (the most retarded so far)
-fake intercoolers
-stupid WooooOo0o0o0o0OOOoo!!1! Whistle tips
-fake hood scoops and vents (some can be applied to a decent look... SOME... )
-THOSE GOD DAMN INVADER AND WIZARD BODY KITS... that arent flush with the body... lolz
-Adhesive 3A spoilers
-All 3A Racing equipment.
-fart cans welded onto the stock pipe. (i have seen some idiot that put one on AFTER the stock muffler!)


Did I miss anything?

Fake sunroofs. Saw an ebay ad recently that had these listed as a Miata part. LOL

Blue headlight bulbs count as fake in my book.

I swear to god ive seen it... with a big nasty gas-less weld right in the middle of the bar that was visible from the drivers window, it wasn't even long bent tubes but pieces welded together to make a bar/hoop

was on a saturn ion, body kit, lambo doors
