is is me or your headlights yellow? is that even legal? why do you have em that way?

 

[warrier04]

sure it's legal.

i think those are the rockblocker headlight covers.

 

[msp03.5]

As far as I know they are legal. They are the lamin-x covers my cars on there showcase for the yellows. I got them cause I wanted something different not too many people like em but eh well I do. Oh thanks for the good luck cause I am sure I will need it lol.

Do you really need to jack the car up for a FMIC install? Just askin...and where did you get your hood pins?9

Ummm not sure if you have to but I like working on it like this. plus I am going to do an oil change. The hood pins are just some APC pins I got from checkers they are actual hood pins not just the display kind that make it look like there in In case you were wondering.

Cool, thanks Keep us updated on the install

I can't wait to see the finished product. The perrin is a nice core.

Ok so this thing is pissing me off the piping does not want to fit. I am about to cut off some of the piping from the pipe that connects to the throttle to make it fit ahhh. Does anyone know if that would be a bad idea cause of the lip on the end of the piping or would it be fine? anyone else run into this problem?

 

[Notorious_V.I.C]

Yes, bad do not cut the piping!!! Bump for help for you

 

[msp03.5]

Ok won't cut piping thanks cause I was about to lol. why is it bad? is it cause the lips at the end serve as a blocker so the couplers don't slide off? just wondering.

 

[msp03.5]

here is the pipe it seems like it is too long. I unbolted the fmic and hooked up the piping but it would not match back up it gapped out so the support beam would not mate up. I feel like I have tried everything but it is just giving me hell.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance

Ummm, I'm looking for my pictures for reference....but I didnt have any problems with the piping been too long...I did have a problem with it been to far to the left...where I had to trim the metal more than suggested. Then the pipe fitted and that allowed the core to be more centered than it originally did.

Edit....well this are the only two pics I found and its obvious that they dont help too much...but if you see where the silicone coupler is, then you might be able to compare it with yours.

[msp03.5]
