Intercooler looks nice blacked out but like stated above its not a good idea heat soak wise.

 

I'm sure it does affect it a small amount, but I've never seen any major issues or big temp diffrences on any car that has had this done. I wish I had gotten it anodized when I ordered it from ETS. Oh well hind site is 20/20.

 

I actually had it mounted between the head unit and the hazrd button, looked clean, but heated up real quick as it sits in the sun... (even w/ a sun shade thingy) Then I put it on the steering column, but being as I have a triple guage pod on the A-Pillar, a turbo timer on the steering column, I thought that it was cluster***ed w/ the LCD on the steering column... (Still heated up there as well)
So I mounted it under the cubby hole... Nice and snug, angled upward, so I can read it. Obviously I have to take my eyes off the road, but like I said it was a lil cluster***ed, And the only time Im really gonna keep my eyes on the LCD is when I start the "open loop mod" for cruising. While cruising I shouldnt have any probs keeping my eye on it there...

Just a heads up, my LCD screen wasnt reading properly while it was heated up!

1. It would read leaner than stoich (w/ out the open loop mod) until I blipped the throttle.

2. It also would also read 21.0 when in nuetral...

Mounted it down there (out of the sun) and no issues!

 

Let her rest in the garage and rode my bike to work!

 

I finished Painting the Brembos. Kandy Apple Red FTW They look great in person, but it's hard to get the effect from a picture.

 

Looking real nice. Im sure they look better in person too! well done!

 

I cleaned my car out, and my trunk. Thank gosh.

 

Thanks, Ill get pics of them on the car after my rotors show up.

 

Washed, polished clear bra, waxed, vacuumed interior, vinyl protectant, and leather protectant. I reflashed my ECU too trying to get my car to idle well around 900 RPM's with FP4R cams.

 

I just finished the install on my FP4Rs also, but I have to wait on my Tactrix to show up. If I leave the A/C off it will idle at like 2100 RPM & with the A/C on idles down under 1000 & stalls. Not sure what's up with that, but it could be the previous tune for the Brian Crower cams. The FP4Rs sound great near 100 Rpm though. Cant wait to get my brakes & a retune so I can drive it.

 

Changed the oil today. Good until another 2800 miles.

 

What did my EVO do today?

Oh about a buck fifty or so.

 

Found out my lower ocntrol arm bushing is bad. Need to replace the control arm. Then washed it by hand, took her to MIR and ran a 13.1.

 

..... modification #33, installed a set of Whiteline adjustable rear sway bar links.

 

gonna wax it today, then put the cover back over her
