Added a few bits to the IX MR!

Over the last couple weeks I have added the following mods on top of what is in my sig:

- AMS FMIC
- Espelir Down Pipe
- Ultimate Racing Test Pipe
- Fujita UICP and Intake Kit
- Nisei LICP (coming tomorrow)
- Weapon R Catch Can
- Tanabe Front/Middle/Rear under arm bars
- 42 Draft Designs SW gauge Kit (Boost/OIL temp/Psi)


I know the intake isn't really the greatest mod on an Evo, but figured I would give it a shot since it came with the UICP. The turbo is really loud and the DV sounds like VTA BOV now. No drivability issues or idling problems yet. I had the top section of the UICP blow off the bottom section on the first drive and the DV come off the intake pipe on the second trip. Aqua Net and making all the t-bolts tighter fixed that though.

I should have done some more research on catch cans before getting the Weapon R. Turns out it is a poor design and I really should be running a dual catch can if I want to do it right. It does fit nicely and was easy to install though.

The DP, TP and FMIC have made the most noticeable difference (other than the intake noise . No CEL (Ultimate Racing's no CEL TP design seems to work) yet and perfect fitment on all (including the DP).

The 42 Draft Designs Stewart Warner gauge kit seems very accurate and fits perfectly.

I will hopefully be getting the car tuned this weekend at Axiom in Lakewood.

Questions and comments are most welcome.

Yeah it is always nice when one of the best performing parts is also one of the best looking.

Thanks!

Looks good. You should get some night shots of the Gauges. Did you buy the colored lcd's for them? Thanks.

The Fujita kit is really good quality. The welds are good, it comes with t-bolts for all connections and the instructions are easy to follow. It is a little more than the Injen kit, but when you look at the two side by side as I did you can tell the Fujita is the one to go with. The t-bolts alone make it stand out.
