Looking good. Can’t wait to start mine. Hopefully I’ll have some work updates while I’m on my upcoming vacation

I noticed you’re painting your panels separately instead of, say, the whole car at once. Are you noticing that the paint might be slightly different panel-to-panel? Why don’t you just paint the whole car at once?
Were you experiencing any negative feedback performance wise because of the bad gasket?Turns out I have a bad upper intake manifold gasket. Just to be safe I went ahead and bought the upper and lower ones. I purchased some absolutely beautiful metallic silver paint that I'm going to spray the intake manifold with when I take it off. I also plan the sand the inside and out of it so it looks completely smooth, and I haven't decided yet but I might use my Dremel to do a little custom bore for better airflow. Trunk and spoiler are sitting in my booth today, should be installed on Saturday along with the manifold work. I'll get some pics of everything on Saturday.
I'm ripping through gears on this build!
Slight idle surging. Maybe a slight loss of low end power too.Were you experiencing any negative feedback performance wise because of the bad gasket?
What brand is it? Or at least where did you get it from?My short ram intake filter is FUBAR.
Came with the car. The filter is AEM, 2.5inch inner diameter cone shape filter. No clue what the tube is, has no markingsWhat brand is it? Or at least where did you get it from?
Does it at least fit well?Came with the car. The filter is AEM, 2.5inch inner diameter cone shape filter. No clue what the tube is, has no markings
Edit: the filter was extremely dirty, used a cleaning kit to help clean it out but kind of rushed the process cause I was visiting family in my home town. Re oiled it but now I think it's all clogged up with dust again, at least enough to cause minor issues. I'm pretty sure the filter part is in poor shape. The rubber is all cracked. I just need to get a new one. Scraping by at the moment cause of school and work is slowish...
It's like a glove on the pipe, I'm missing the breather hose connection for my pcv system. Not sure how big of an issue that might be, doesn't seem to effect much. I need to replace all engine seals rubber hoses and gaskets and such. Got so much to do it I want this thing to last me. But there is a fair amount of rust so idk how much longer it really has, gets me from point a to point b so I'm grateful for thatDoes it at least fit well?
Amen!gets me from point a to point b so I'm grateful for that
I'll have to add pictures of everything. It's just kind of embarrassing. I didnt have a car at the time, didnt know much about DSM so when I went to buy it I was like f**k it I'll buy it, hadn't driven in years. Last car I owned I totaled in a bad accident so I was really nervous didnt even want to test drive it. Heard it run and then bought it. Could have gotten a decent gsx for what I paid...Amen!
The reason I ask is because I bought one of the cheap ones from Ebay and the filter didn't fit on the pipe too well. And also the system was angled so that it rubbed on the hood everytime I drove it, which eventually scraped some paint off of my hood. I now have a little bare metal spot. I tried to adjust it to angle more downward, but the pcv system hose wouldn't stretch any more.
I ended up cutting the stock piping up and building my own custom CAI.
uh oh .Could have gotten a decent gsx for what I paid...
Not an issue at all. Some people just put a little filter on the valve cover.It's like a glove on the pipe, I'm missing the breather hose connection for my pcv system. Not sure how big of an issue that might be, doesn't seem to effect much.
Called a microfilter I believeNot an issue at all. Some people just put a little filter on the valve cover.
Yeah I got one those lil guys on there. Replaced the one that came with the car cause the blue rubber was brownish , filter was super dirty.Called a microfilter I believe
Just put a fire extinguisher in the car. I plan on taking it to all the car meets I can, and going to the track ocasionally too. Gotta have a fire extinguisher for these things just in case.View attachment 580439
