AEM air intake installed!

 

Looks good. Noisy?

 

Thanks! The increase in induction sound is definitely noticeable!

Installing this complete assembly later today, any concerns or advise on what 'to avoid' during installation? Shifts really nice now

 

nice usdm i use an AEM intake in my GTI and has been working real well.
i like how you lined up the hose clamps perfectly too. i do the same.

for me, swapped out the carpet mats to Husky's today.. getting ready for winter. and cleaned up the interior.

 

You noticed!

 

Rep RS Wing on!




Now need to figure out how to cover the holes.. anyone have any suggestions besides tape..lol

 

Vinyl wrap. That's what I used to partially cover the holes for the wiring for my pillar led lights.

 

Yes, that's a Must!

On the old Chris Craft motorboats, they made sure that all the screw heads were lined up in the same direction. I try to do that with woodworking.

 

Installed slotted EBC rotors and green stuff brake pads.

 

FG 8th gen Si seats installed!

 

Really Nice! Need custom rails?

 

Changed the engine oil, rotated the tires, and installed my Spoon Sports magnetic engine oil drain plug!

 

yes please share how you installed

 

how do you like the Motul brand? And where did you purchase/price? Thx

 

Is that the $45 oil drain plug???

Installed my snow tires/wheels.

185/70-14 Michelin Xi3s mounted on Tire Rack steelies. Front calipers are close but clear just fine.

They drive very well. It's nice having more sidewall than the OEM 16s. A little squishier, obviously, but handling is still good. Certainly more comfortable. I have pressure set 2 psi above what's printed in the door.

I picked up some 1980s CRX center caps from eBay as well. They fit the steelies perfectly and look pretty dang cool.

 

That's too expensive! Check out the links below:

USDM - Can you post back after your next oil change after installing magnetic drain plug to show what if any residue it is capturing?

Also will the standard Honda washer be compatible?

 

Hey, 2Rismo2! Sure, I can certainly do that. The OEM Honda washer is compatible and one is actually included when you purchase the Spoon Sports magnetic engine oil drain plug.

The only difference between the two plugs is that the Spoon Sports magnetic engine oil drain plug requires a 17mm socket whereas the OEM Honda engine oil drain plug requires a 14mm socket.

I've also sent a sample of the oil from my last oil change to Blackstone Labs for analysis. I'm curious to see how the engine is doing after 10,000 miles. I'll share their analysis once I receive the results.
