I know I could get more out of the ARC box, but there has to be someone in D-town that would want it.



I think the Dejontool upper will fit with the ARC induction box as well.

get the injen - Dejon welds are less than desirable...

Well, I was looking to get one, but the HKS has proven numbers (with a flash), so I went with that. Plus, its much smaller and cleans up the bay

yeah, the manifold/PCV side will have more oil buildup... You can just nipple off the manifold part if you want.

I had a nightmare last night where the only car I had was a beatup ford ranger that smelled like a bucket of Potato ole's and a combo burrito were rotting under the seats. It was a 2wd ranger as well.... and the roads were always iced over... did I mention the tires were bald?

No i do not have an intake yet but im not looking to spend that much on a intake when it doesn't get me that much in gains, im lookin for something nice cheap and that does the job. I am lookin at an agency power intake that just has an adapter and filter for 75 shipped. I need that and my tune and im done for the rest of the year.

Well, looks like I am selling a couple of parts myself. The DC downpipe has questionable fit, so I am dumping it

no, I have an Evo IX

The VIII is an all carbon spoiler. IX is carbon/ABS combo. I was going to throw the VIII spoiler on mine (which was sanded down and cleared to show all the carbon), but think I may go with what I have for now...

I was thinking APR GTC-200 or the Wings West 3dcarbon pylon for mine with a carbon trunk or hood after I get the body kit.



or I might just leave it as-is.

I have to say, that Ralliart push to start button is tempting me right now...

Did I mention my windshield washers work again? Just checking....

OK, first of all, carbon hoods are for ricers - The stock hood is lighter than most carbon hoods out there! Only ones that are lighter are carbon ones with carbon skeleton or no skeleton

Gawsh - You will get along well with Troy. He just got that big APR ricer wing too

The ralliart push button is pointless, you need to have your key in the ignition, set to on position and then hit the switch. Whats the point in that, aye? Please give me $179 or whatever it costs and whenever I am around your car, I will jump in and start it for you

To each his own

New mitsu canards (put these on last weekend actually).



CF goodies in the box - so damn light I thought the box was empty!



CF trunk - full internal bracing, all CF - 4 lbs!


did I mention the hood is *light* - oh yeah and did I mention it was late? This was past midnight, but robi just kept going. Favorite quote "being tired is just a state of mind".



Cutting the holes for the aero-catches (hood pins). Sneeze and you'll destroy a $800 CF body part ...



Trunk on the car - very nice fit!


really good fitment on the hood too ... (this is Fri morning after washing the car)



Flush mounted aero-catches = hood pins for the 21st century
