The cyber front bumper is not the same as the track or street edition bumper. My splitter came loose on the front straight at Big Willow(I did not lose control). I had my first track day in an evo at WSIR SOW CCW back in 2006. But I am new to this particular setup. Due to my job I am out of town a lot and I am unable to really get consistent time on the track.

Assuming this is Phia, FFTEC tuned this car first on 91oct and then on e85, then I had you tune it 1 time, then I had FFTEC tune it again on e85. So currently it is tuned from FFTEC on e85. The "truth" from what I hear what goes on and from what people have said is far from it.

The pics have been viewed too many times and have exceeded their bandwidth. They should be back up on the 1st.

No offense, but who the hell still uses photobucket? There are a million other alternatives out there that have no bandwidth limits, are free, and offer more functionality/security than photobucket.

FYI the gold foil is not for insulating, its for reflecting back heat in places. Basically what you have done is insulate those lower pipes which is stopping heat transfer to the pipe which then transfers to the air, that helps reduce heat just like the intercooler. With those big holes in the bumper air flow across the pipes would help lower intake temp. Also, painting the intercooler will reduce its heat transfer ability....sometimes function needs to trump looks.

Oh Roger, you wouldn't know truth if it smacked you straight in the face.
