xDJ DUBx's 03.5 Pure White LX-T

[not yellow]

why no lower grill, dub?

 

[blueprotegelx]

i would put that lower grill back in. I had to cut my bumper as well as my fog deletes, I screwed them into the bumper and it's not even noticeable. I am rerouting my piping next spring though. I am not big on painting fmic black for my car, but it looks good for those who have done it.

 

[justinlansdale]

damn dude, your car looks NASTY. love the motivation you have to keep this thing going, keep it up! can't wait to see numbers

 

[Laser Blue]

+1 on blacking out the fmic and replacing the grille. Seems kinda pointless to hide the BOV with the fmic that exposed. Besides, the cops have ears as well as eyes. But good job on the install!

btw, if you don't want to go the mbc route, I have a brand new adjustable wga for sale...

 

[xDJ DUBx]

I originally didn't plan on have the grille cut so much so I wasn't worried about the fmic showing so much but with how it looks now, yeah, it will be painted soon. The grille will also have to be trimmed to fit correctly.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Oh yeah, something interesting, the Injen was 3 times louder and longer sounded at shut off than the turbo is. No wonder ppl always thought I was boosting when I turned the car off. lol.

 

[blueprotegelx]

it's sick to look at your sig now knowing that your boosted lol. i need to catch up with appearance and get these wheels on. lol

 

[xDJ DUBx]

lol, thanks.

Plans:
Paint FMIC Black
Trim Grille to Fit
Reroute Oil Return Line
Paint RHs Gunmetal

New tires are being ordered today

 

[J_Naoto]

are you going to paint the heatshield whenever it magically decides to show up?

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Probably not, unless I do the VC

Did you priority?

 

[J_Naoto]

nope

 

[J_Naoto]

...i take that back, maybe i did. i did whatever was cheapest lol

 

[xJAZx]

then probably parcel which can take like 2 weeks

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Parcel!! Really J? Damn, there is usually only 40c difference! bah.

lol, mine sounds like a jet engine powering down...

comedy...... bahaha

 

[xDJ DUBx]

No, it seriously does. lol. It's really loud and last for about 8secs

 

[Wagonbacker9]

thats likely the vacuum in the intake equalizing, and thats a good sign... means your valves and rings are sealing well.

 

[Protege03ak46]

wait, are you referring to dub or me, wagon?

 

[xDJ DUBx]

I was talking about how the intake sounded. I wasn't referring to anyone. lol.

Wagon, are they doing something about this sever bulls***? It's been like this for over a week now
