First up is the Autopower 4 point. Picked this sucker up a week ago(thanx Nate ) and had it sprayed Milano Red to keep with my "red" theme. I couldn't be happier . It will be hard to stick padding over the beautiful color but, alas, it must be done. Here are some shots:









I also picked up a Comptech Icebox(thanx Gil ) to replace the J's that I sold. I'm happy with it. I sits nicely in the engine bay. Powerband seems more linear than with the J's. I prefer it actually. We all know what it looks like but I'll post a pic anyway



The major difference came from the Import Builders intake manifold. Basically a ported and polished JDM piece. http://www.importbuilders.com for more info. Outstanding quality. Big ups to Jeff for giving me a great deal and a decent shipping cost(I'm a Canadian eh!)

Notice the weld


I also had an Outlaw spacer kit put in as well. Pretty self explanitory. I'll let the pics do the talkin'




All in all I'm very happy with everything. The difference with the rollbar is AMAZING!!!!! No joke. The car is tight all the way through. Even some of my "creaks" are gone now. With the car breathing a bit better there is gobs of torque. Most likely a combo of the intake, manifold and spacers. My car feels really different now. It's crazy how much low end there is now.

looking good

 

nice man, but i don't see no "red theme" going on except for the rollbar!! do you have any pictures of the Outlaw spacer kit un-installed?? new to that peice, what's the purpose of it

 

JunR: No un-installed pics, sorry. The Outlaw spacer kit is designed to keep the air in the intake manifold a tad cooler by separating it via the head and TB gasket. Basically the same idea as the Hondata gasket, only only thicker and at the TB also. The "red theme consists of the AEM ****(cam gears, fuel rail, FPR and filter), Comptech rear lower tie bar, OMP hood pins, Rays lug nuts and, of course, the factory red stitching in the seat, shifter boot and beautiful valve cover

 

Looks great

What brand is that Pillar Bar you have ?

Also what the website/price of the Outlaw ?

 

Outlaw spacer kit looks interesting

I think it's http://www.outlawengineering.com and it was about a hundred bucks.

 

Looks like you had to cut aroind your rear interior panels to fit the roll bar. Is this normal with most Autopower Rollbars? I have one that started out as a 6 point cage and had the front section cut off and it fits damn near perfect thorugh the rear speaker holes. Just curious, the paint on the bar looks great.

 

Technically it will fit with some very minor cutting but I didnt want it rubbing on the panels. Due to the angle of the bar the trimming was required so there was absolutely no touching of the panels. No biggie; I'm going to get some very thin weather stripping and put it around that area so it looks clean

 

Awesome man. I too like my Comptech Intake. Not that it matters but the red paint on the badge came off. I guess I got the bling addition.

 

The red bar is hot! I kinda wish I'd painted mine PY before putting it in, I guess I could take it out but I'm waaaay to lazy for that

 

$575 for that manifold, damn.

Looks great though.

You could still paint it, Chris. Obviously, an airbrush works best but a quality brush actually does pretty well

Looks good, other Chris!

 

man, i have been debating an autopower bar, just the street model with the harness bar, but i just really don't want to mess with the interior plastic. that is honestly the only thing holding me back from the purchase.

looks great WR

 

Looks great man. I love mine. I just got a Comptech Icebox also and really like it so far. Paint on the bar looks awesome. Now pad that bish!

 

That autopower is the $hit. Wish i had one

The Autopower cage looks great, where can i find it? some dealers thats ships to europe?

help me here people

 

so nice!

I guess im the lucky one... When I I still had my interior in I didnt have to cut anything to make it fit

 

dont get me wrong...AP did a good job of designing their rollbar so no modification of the rear panels is "required". i only trimmed mine slightly right below the speaker cutout because i'm so **** about details

 

taking out the rear interior not an option for you guys?

Thats what I was thinking too. I love having mine out.

It must be serious if you had to change the fuel rail....
