Very very nice Scott. :D

You're not cool unless your turbo implodes.

urgaynknowit 05-22-2008 12:10 AM

i think u and me have the same exhaust, are you running a cat?

18psi 05-22-2008 12:11 AM

whoa, does that thing have a hemi? ;)

Redrocket27 05-22-2008 12:17 AM

Ever think about painting your brake booster vacuum line on the firewall flat black? I did mine and it makes the engine bay look a lot cleaner. I love your car though, that steering wheel is pretty bad ass.

mike_671 05-22-2008 02:35 AM

Is that a narrow band A/F gauge? Also what was your boost? I couldn't seeeeeeee.

Helllllz no I don't have no cat. However, this smaller muffler is signifgantly louder the the previous 5x8x14 muffler, so i may add one to quite it down a touch.

No, never thought of it, but I can see how it would look better; good idea. The wheel is pretty amazing, even if it's a cheap ebay wheel.

It's a NB gauge, however since I have an LC-1, it's outputting my WB signal correctly. Notice it reading solid at idle, I have it outputting 10:1-17:1 each LED represents about 0.33:1 - 17, 16.8, 16.4, 16, 15.7, etc.

Boost is solid at 12. I need to get my camera mount back and pull through the gears...

I have a new HU going in shortly....as well as a new stereo setup.

4 channel amp, coaxial speakers, headrest speakers...should beat my $15 walmart speakers...

TurboTim 05-22-2008 10:20 AM

If you aren't running an air bag, why do you still have the air bag wiring?

Zabac 05-22-2008 10:24 AM

I want to remove all my wiring, is there a good write up on this, or do I need to make one, llol

y8s 05-22-2008 11:30 AM

sweeet. i've got 5 of their albums in my itunes at work.

HKSturboMiata 05-22-2008 11:56 AM

Did you cut out your right headlight cover and put that vent in, or did you just buy a new cover and paint it red?

UrbanSoot 05-22-2008 12:57 PM

did anyone notice time on second video besides me? 4:20 ftw!

screw the radio, look at that awesome lack of PCV valve.

chucker 05-22-2008 01:17 PM

Weren't you gonna merge the breather and PCV into a catchcan like the Civic boys?

+1 on putting cam back and pulling through gears.
I knew is was reading accurate, thats why i asked. Just thought it was hooked up to your stock 02.

MX54PLA 05-23-2008 12:09 AM

Nice!!

Yeah dude i noticed it right away, and was going to post something now :giggle:

Nofx ftw also, although i prefer their older albums.

UrbanSoot 05-23-2008 03:12 AM

nofx = fail
dragonforce = the shit

IcantDo55 05-23-2008 10:54 AM

Looks great man!

Not to take it off topic just a question. I replaced my wheel too and now something beeping under the dash. Sounds like 10 beeps like the air bag light did. Its stops so not a big worry.

I pulled the connector for the door buzzer, so maybe it's on the same circuit?
