dude, that red car is ******* LOW!

dude, that red car is ******* LOW!

it's airbagged, it doesn't drive around that low, the air bags fill back up with air and it raises back up. Well on a civic, it's probably air-canned.

oh and i utilized my spool hard pipe kit with it... the pipes for the starion intercooler fit... but i am going to have someone fabricate the two pipes eventually... the red car has airbags

 

[Equinox]

is the door on that teal car shaved and welded shut?

dude, duh.... I know how airbags work. hehe

I was mearly commenting on how it looks like its sitting on the ground.

 

[msprotege2nr]

[boostedmazda]

[msprotege2nr]

[boostedmazda]

[Equinox]

[msprotege2nr]

hey can you get a closer pic that looks sweet.

 

[Glowmunkey]

I'd like to see the pipes... very intriguing. Any clue how well this intercooler flows? I've heard most stock ones aren't great...

 

[YuYuRena]

dude that's cool. how's the performance of that ic? I was looking into that unit for my custom ic as well. All information would be appreciated.

starion intercoolers aren't known for their efficiency, but it's better than stock. i've heard it said that people use a starion ic when they're saving up for a real fmic. but it does look good there

 

[Hypnotized]

How long/hard was the install.
Looks Good!

 

[msprotege2nr]

well i dont have any clue as far as some stats on how this flows but i can tell you is it a lot better then the stock ic... i actually went from being beat by my buddy with his starion to actually pulling on him... i love this fmic though because it doesnt get the heat soak that the stock one does... and its an awesome replacement until i get my spool or ion fmic. heres a closer pic of it.

 

[msprotege2nr]

the install took about 2 hours or so... the hardest part was getting out the stock i.c.
