Interesting. Instead of painting I think I might try to cover it some way. Maybe a styrene or rubber material.

Controller. I Drilled a hole in the empty button behind this to accept the wire loom. Four wires went aft, two for pump, two for low fluid level. I ran the wires back in a plastic tube, the kind that are corrugated and split. The plastic hose comes from the pump forward.

Six inches ahead of throttle body is optimal. I tapped the weapon r intake tube. The maf wire will be hidden soon...

I just found a place where i could get three screws out of 4 for the tank

I had a hole in the firewall already for the amp positive lead which is where i ran the positive and negative battery wires and the maf signal.

The pump and optional filter

Another

Routing under the panels

Drivers front panel

Another of the back



I drove two miles. It used half a tank which should be for a full tank of gas!!! Pulled intake, a lot of the fluid is in there. I need to tune it but I need to make sure I have the dip switches set for the proper maf signal. If anyone knows if our signal is voltage or frequency let me know. I took the reading on pin 3 to be varying voltage 0.6V to 1.8V and my understanding was the frequency signal would have held steady at 2.5V.
Great job done here ! Unfortunately, I can't help you about what kind of signal is the Map, but I'm following your project with a lot of interrest !

Shark Fin Antenna

Installed the Visual Garage Shark Fin antenna. Had to use the Mark II because the Mark I did not fit. My car has satellite radio and the antenna base is larger.

They go alright. But to get that good shift I am thinking of getting the hasport rear mount streets edition.

Yes! Senior. I tried looking under the bonnet to see where this bad boy is can't see it. Will need to remove the splash guard to see it. What's the torque specification on the bolts? Another question does it make the cabin harsh i mean loud or vibrate etc?

Yup... You DO have to remove the splash guard.... And it is pretty easy to change it....

At first you will feel a bit more of vibration.... But you'll get used to it pretty fast...

My honest opinion.... Those 3 mods {acuity shifter cable bushings, acuity shifter bushings and the hasport lower mount}.. and it feels WAAAAAAAAAAY BETTER!!
😁😎😈

Very nice!

What part broke on your old one? was it due to abuse or manufacturing defect?

the part that anchors onto the tow hook broke in half and that was due to accidently backing up into a curb which also scrapped the exhaust tips and bent the pipes making it look uneven.

Ah, gotcha.
Yeah, a skilled welder could make that look like new again with not much effort.
Which is why welding is something I always wish I had time to learn

HKS exhaust, finally

Got the HKS silent power exhaust installed. Found an “open box” one on ebay for $150.00. Looks good and sounds nice so far.
