Whats up H.T! I was bored one day and came across
a jdm vale cover on craigslist got it for $30
heres what it looked like ooh and it was twice as ugly
in person there was so many layers of paint i could tell
they tried a black spoon yellow jdm red and grey primer after each coat!



Heres the old look !











Before!



After one can of aircraft remover a paint scraper sand paper and paint thinner and a hell of a lot of time and effort and elbo grease i had the cam gear cover cut, i painted it with duplicolor high temp gloss black and duplicolor high temp clear coat then i sanded and sanded painted and sanded some more i clear coated it to death with reg. duplicolor high gloss clear coat! getting all the paint out the oil cap hole was a bi@#* as well as the spark plug holes they could of at least covered them oh well and shazaammm!! just like candy










Then i came across a 3" aem itr cai for $65 so i got a new filter and decided to paint match that as well it was that grey ceramic color and real ugly too so i did a custom aem logo on it!, note this is NOT A STICKER!!! but polished aluminum!! sold the comptech ice box intake since when i got it tunned the 3" itr cai made a bit more on top end when we compared them at the dyno shop at Churches what do you guys think?








Here a pic of my new usdm itr gauge cluster only 11,000+ miles on it !





And i also got rid of that cheap *** ebay stearing wheal and got me a new dicontinued momo stearing wheal along with cash money for my old comptech ice box intake!





More to come when the new set up is tunned lots of old dyno sheats compared to the upcoming tune with my new Hytech big tube replica header, Sk2 pro 1 cams + pro series valve springs & retainers, and 2.5 inch piping welded to my gready sp2 tip thanks for looking and i hope you enjoyed take care and drive safe!! all comments and feedback welcome

p.s i just smoged it at the test only just put my stock header cat injectors and ecu back in failed the first time then i reset the ecu the next day and it passed by only one % crazy it still had bc3+ cams, 11:6:1 comp from jdm itr pistons, sk2 pro series im, aem fuel pressure reg.!!!!!!!!!! ,?? 68mm tb, gready sp2 catback So i got two lovely years to enjoy this new setup before smog haunts me again peace out.... N.A is best..........

 

vc looks way better but i would have kept the comptech intake

 

Yay for apple juice. Oh and i'd rather have an icebox then an AEM anything.

 

apple juice

 

Thanks guys!, Ya apple juice all day man!! ya the comptech might look cooler and cost way more but when i dyno tuned my car my motor made more hp with the aem in top end i think 2-3hp! shawn church suggested i get the aem 3'' cai so i did when i came across this for dirt cheap.. the comptech is good for mid range but will be dominated in high rpm's by the 3'' aem cai!
